The idea to combine gaming industry with blockchain sounds very cool. I especially enjoyed watching this video on the matter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywvTIM_eOVI. The author says that we shouldn't be using blockchain in gaming industry solely for the purpose of monetizing it and essentially making it an interactive version of crypto trading. Blockchain can be implemented anywhere, where chronology and specifics of changes with any type of data is crucial. I loved an example he provided, that blockchain could be used in RPG for providing a history of weapon's ownership and making its level higher due to the real battles it was used in.
This Summit seems to be a serious platform for people to exchange thoughts and form partnerships. I hope some not monetization-oriented projects will be present there as well.
I loved that video and the guy really does a great job of explaining everything in simple terms. Blockchain and gaming for me are like a match made in heaven but right now the cryptogaming industry is really lacking good, playable and fun games... there's a bunch of games that are kinda alright, like 0xUniverse, but IMO they still focus too much on the collectables aspect instead of the gaming side. At the end of the day, games are games, and if they're not fun to play, have good features and a stable storyline they just get boring! I don't want to be breeding and trading cryptokitties for life haha
