This title seems to be used about shilling and nothing more but I would like to hijack that for a second and talk about something. This place could have been something amazing, we are talking about one of the greatest sports in the world, earning a billion dollars a year among themselves and viewed by tens of millions of people all around the world and somehow they managed to get absolutely no interest during the best NFT play to earn periods of our lifetime.

Yes, I am talking about the F1 game and how they got the license, and there were like at one point 160 people playing, just 160! When you want to get involved here, just consider that this is the brand that managed to get 160 people into F1 play to earn game. Even I could have done better and I am not that great at all.

Yes, Animoca is the smartest crypto gaming company in solving the problem of play-to-earn dilemmas for users. However, there are many market restrictions for the company's growth, and most of them have to do with future profitability, I think might be that the people behind Animoca Brands have good plans for the future.

Interesting point by @justdimin , I share a similar view on the topic, basically what this tells us is that the blockchain gaming ecosystem is not yet easily embraced by the everyday person who is not into crypto.  Conventional marketing strategies do not work for blockchain gaming and can sometimes even have a negative effect (e.g. facebook ads ) on the project.

The everyday crypto guy =/= everyday consumer so the approach to exposure is by KOLs, streams, AMAs and genuine overall content. What F1 failed to do was to figure out a decent approach to convert traditional fans into the crypto ecosystem. Most projects seem to miss that and even good gameplay is not enough when the person has to commit to creating a wallet before he can play.

Overall, I do believe that play-to-earn mechanics, decentralized economy models and asset ownership have a place in blockchain gaming. This has yet to be introduced to the traditional gamers and lead to adoption.

Animoca Brand Invest in some big projects like Sandbox, Flow, Axie Infinity and many more. Sometimes I also solidify my investment in a project, when on that project there are big supporters such as the Animoca brand and others. But that doesn't guarantee a profit, because not all Animoca brand portfolios do well, there are also some projects whose token value is dropping on the market.
