What makes blockchain games interesting to play

in Hive Gaming5 months ago

The real world games always have their place but at the same time, there is also new technology emerging, and blockchain-based games are gaining popularity in recent years. There are a few successful blockchain-based games too. Have you ever wondered what makes blockchain games an interesting one for people to play? Is it only the earning opportunity that a blockchain game can provide the players? In this article, we are going to see what makes blockchain games an interesting one to play.

Unique assets and ownership

People are attracted to digital assets. Especially after NFTs became very famous, people wanted to collect some digital assets and own them. There was also a scarcity created due to this making the demand high for some of the digital assets. This made things very interesting and some games introduced special perks for people owning those assets and playing the game with those assets. Having a unique collection of assets can also increase the value of their holdings and gives better trading opportunities.

Assets are usually of two types. One type of asset is the one used inside the game and another type of asset is the one that has no use case in the game but people still use them for just collection purposes alone.

Tokenomics and decentralization

There is great room for decentralization in blockchain gaming. One of the biggest advantages here is that an economy is created on its own where there are enormous opportunities for trading the game assets, and tokens and playing around with the game assets. For decentralization, there is a strict algorithm where people cannot have control over the supply or minting, etc which makes the demand so real.

The real challenging part is to make a self-sustaining tokenomics for the game. With the help of good tokenomics, people can make some earnings from the game, and at the same time, people are also able to invest in the game.

Transparency and fairness

In some of the games, there is an option available to make use of the blocks to calculate the outcomes in the game which makes the game more realistic and fair. People who love luck based events can find these games interested because an integration with blockchain can make the games provably fair. This creates transparency with the players and even if they would like to re-test the outcome of what they got, they can do it.

These days players apart from the gaming experience also expect some transparency. Especially in places where money is involved a lot of transparency is expected. This is one of the biggest reasons why these aspects of the game make it fair for everyone.

Players contributions

In some games, decision-making inside the game can be done by the players themselves. The outcome of the game is decentralized but players can have the facility to do decision making on how the game should be proceeding and what type of development should happen in the game. There are a few milestones in the game set through which funding happens. If the threshold is met then new developments happen and people can see the new interesting things happening in the game.

The idea of letting players influence game development is great. It ensures fairness and keeps everyone involved. I personally think that's the greatest part besides the earning. I hope developers focus on game graphics as well so we can finally be as cool as GTA and COD

I think this is the key point a lot of people miss too often when it comes to P2E/blockchain games. The idea isn't that the game directly rewards you through gameplay (though, in cases of tournaments this can work) but rather that players have the ability to create value through their actions and trade with other players. A true hypothetical crypto MMORPG may see some players as blacksmiths minting swords and armor as NFTs, who have to buy ore tokens from players who decide to specialize in mining.

Unfortunately this boils down to time arbitrage at the most basic level. If the gameplay loop isn't engaging enough for all playstyles, the most profitable strategy will become the meta and the economy can break down.

Thankfully we're seeing more games adopting better gameplay loops now that can be more fun and serve as a game first instead of a gamified crypto faucet.

The emphasis on transparency and player contributions in game development is commendable. Allowing players to have a say in the game's direction ensures fairness and keeps the community engaged.

Especially if the blockchain gaming is play to earn. Players get more engaged on games if they can benefit from it

I heard some people use bits in blockchain games
Is that good enough?

I don't know what you mean by bits.
