Web3 games catching up with gambling and entertainment

[Outhue]

Anyone like me on here? I am a big fan of playing games on PC and console and now that web3 games are here it's already taking me away from gambling, I've spent countless hours on Illuvium and gotten my favourite pokemon style monsters and I am able to sold few on the open market.

Now I earn money playing web3 games, my point is it's taking my attention away from casino games, am I the only one on here who loves playing web3 games on their PC? Or many don't just know about it yet?

Now I engage in slots once or twice a week, the main reason why I like slot is because it reminds me of the old style arcade games I love playing in 1995, simple and easy, it brings back my childhood memories.

I the only one on here who loves playing web3 games on their PC?

Yup, because none of those games are Web3!
They were supposed to be decentralized, where you own your own data and run on token economics.
Other than the last one which is the incentive to launch "Web3" games and sell your tokens Axie Infinity style, there is no Web3.0 in any of them.

You're just playing a history game that added a play-to-earn function after every developer saw how people would farm a game to earn money and make an economy from it like it happened in RuneScape. And because it's a ashityy game once the moeny from people buying tokens dry out, so will your "earnings," and so will the game become a barren wasteland.

Well, it's very different from the triple-A games, like Illuvium. It just shows that there are other ways to deal with your time and make sure that you don't spend too much on gambling, which could make you regret doing it. I think this would be helpful for people struggling with addiction. Everyone here probably has a go-to game, and it doesn't necessarily need to be a web3 game that allows you to earn money.

The critical thing, in my opinion, is to understand why you are doing the things you are doing in the first place.

[Fundamentals Of]

Got a quick try playing Axie in the past. It was during its height. I guess it was not for me. I eventually got tired of familiarizing all the skills and what to do if you are against this and that kind of axie. I quit. But it was just one among more than a handful those days. Everybody had a wide array of options. Play to earn blockchain gaming became a thing.

Of course compared to plain gambling, it is better to play these games for as long as you are enjoying it. That you earn from it is a big bonus. But if you are just forcing yourself to play an otherwise boring game just for the sake of earning, it does not sound exciting at all.

[Fortify]

It is nice to see web based games catching up but most people have been happy with downloading apps that achieved similar things for a long time now. You might earn money from it and bravo to that, but you could say the same thing about counter strike skins - it's just a niche that exists and you've found a way to capitalise on your hobby. Like most things it is probably only lucrative to a few people and the majority will be lucky to scrape out any profit at all, are you even counting the time investment required?

These games are fun for sure and I'd say a bit healthier than gambling as long as you don't spend too much time on them. I'd question that "everyone has a game" mentality though as some people don't have any interest in them

A few years ago, during the peak of the 2021 bull run, I was also excited about Web3 and blockchain games. I invested in several games and their NFTs, but eventually I realized that the Web3 gaming world is mostly a scam full of big promises and hype. Many of these games are never even completed, and if they do get released, they're usually very low quality.It's a scam wrapped in hype. Most of these projects were heavily promoted just so the founders and insiders could cash out by selling worthless tokens and NFTs to unsuspecting investors. The games were rarely finished and when they were, the quality was terrible. It was never really about building good games, but about pumping up hype to dump tokens.

Now, the only blockchain-related games I play are ones like Thndr Games, which actually pay out Bitcoin via the Lightning Network.

Most of the gambler are already on the age that wants to chill on gambling games rather than web3 games since they get the entertainment on risking money.

I’m one of those gambler that preferred gambling instead of web3 since I have my console if ever I want real games that has much better gameplay.

Honestly, those web3 games are not good if we are considering the graphics and gameplay. The earning possibilities is the one that makes it attractive to young generation player.

Lol, but yes, some of us are not into this kind of games, and it's obvious about the age. But Axie, it brings memories during the pandemic about this games and how much people earn during that time. I guess, it's the hype of that kind of games.

Yes, but different folks, different strokes. There are gamblers who play luck base games and they enjoy it, or card games like baccarat. But the thing with gambling is that it compasses a lot so everyone's liking is hit and there are no escaping about it.

This is quite interesting I never knew that web3 games were actually profitable, I thought the games were only related to farming airdrops that always turns out to be a waste of time. If you engage in things like this regularly you wouldn't even have time to gamble anymore. The key to distracting your mind from gambling is to replace it with something that's profitable instead of putting all that energy into gambling

[Shinpako09]

Whether it’s F2P or P2A, Web3 gaming is starting to come up to light again but not as much compared to the Axie days. I think one reason is that the airdrop hype has dropped significantly, especially the TG based airdrops, which often come with very low listing prices and require either low to high investment. Even testnet and DePIN projects are the same. So now, the community is switching back to Web3 games.

But I don’t think it’s catching up to gambling just yet. The gap is still too wide. Many people know about online gambling, but a lot still don’t know about Web3 games or just aren’t interested. Maybe if more games could be like Axie was back in the day, Web3 gaming could boom again.

[Beparanf]

Tried to play Illuvium before but I stop midway since I play a lot of open world concept games that has better graphics than this game. There’s a lot of good games playable on my steam account that still has a lot of backlog games for me.

I still play gambling games like slot and live games since I enjoy the most when playing and winning money at the same time.

I think there’s a lot of player on the web3 games right now but I doubt the majority of them are gamblers.

[cabron]

I used to play a game on EOS but stopped after seeing the  wins are not worth it. No wonder the project was stopped because its just a waste of time for the players. I couldn't get myself to try again on some projects because token prices isn't making a rise at least. All are worthless now. The pump of memecoins are more worth it.

am I the only one on here who loves playing web3 games on their PC? Or many don't just know about it yet?

It's been a long time since I've played on the computer and I didn't know about web3 games on their PC, but from what I understand from @stompix's post, it seems to me that he's right. Anyway, if you're comfortable and having fun when you play on the PC, then retire from casino games, when one day you get tired of PC games, you can go back to playing in the casinos, or else play on the PC and when you can, play in the casino. The most important thing is to never forget to play with only the amount you can afford to lose.

[masulum]

many web 3 game players here, even I also playing a web3 games, PVP shooting game, which gives tokens by completing missions. But i'm not continue too play this game, because there is a feeling bored when only playing this game for one hour. I also playing MLBB more than that games, this games really works to giving me a control to not playing casino games too often, since in the past I'm playing casino games almost everyday, i need another activity to reduce my gambling activity. and it works now.

If your goal is to reduce gambling time, of course this is good, because you have successfully entered that phase. You already have the option of activities to reduce gambling hobbies with web3 games.

In conclusion, everyone who may want to reduce their gambling addict, try to play another games or another activity. When you have another activity, I think you will be forget to gamble slowly.

I do not think that web3 games are so uncommon because during the pandemic we already saw most people get interested in axie infinity. It might not be as successful now but it used to be very very famous to the point that it was even being reported in national news.

Now I engage in slots once or twice a week, the main reason why I like slot is because it reminds me of the old style arcade games I love playing in 1995, simple and easy, it brings back my childhood memories.

Play whatever you want. But I think web 3 games may offer more profit since they are dependent on skills. But correct me if I am wrong.

Someone introduced me to web3 games and told me about the tokens you can get from playing these games but I didn't really take it seriously...This is a way of keeping your mind away from gambling, I would be interested in getting to know more about these games..how do you earn these tokens and do you get paid in cryptocurrency?.. throw more light on how beginners can get started if it's profitable

Agreed. Any casino claiming Web3 is just using that word for marketing purposes. And it is 100% false advertising, in my view.

There are a lot of casinos using the name Web3 in order to trick cryptocurrency and Web3 fans into playing on their online gambling platform. And to be honest, it is casting Web3 into a bad, scammy light.

Web3 itself is extremely underdeveloped because of how hard it is to make complex, centralized designs into a decentralized version.

gambling may not give off stable profit but it is enjoyable and that is what makes people keep coming back for more

if you do not enjoy playing a game or just doing something in general then you will lose all motivation even if there is money on the line it will just feel like work which if you are into then i guess you can check out

[Merit.s]

I don't think that's a web3 game IMO. It's only the play to earn features that is added to the game that you're playing and it is not a web3 game. . I prefer casino games because they're always there for you to enjoy gambling in the long run and don't depend on people buying tokens. However, I only bet of live matches and hardly play casino games which make me to always stick to it.

You are driping away from gambling because you spent more time playing on Web3 games and you are more interested in Web3 than playing in casinos, we do not have an exact data but based on members interaction here,
players prefer to play on casinos, there are more casinos and more coming up because of the very large community of gamblers.
The Web3 is a growing industry but it will take more time to catch up, there are so many conservative gamblers who wants the simplicity of casinos than playing the complexity of Web3.
