Who else thinks that these kind of thing may hit mainstream sooner or later? I don't know if this is something new but seen a news from Decentral Games that they are launching a play-to-earn Metaverse poker. Others predict next to NFTs boom that it could the the Metaverse hype. Any thoughts?
Over time, we believe several projects will attempt to deliver play-to-earn architectures. However, due to the state of Decentral Games’ current product and community, DG is in a lucrative position to take advantage of this new wave in gaming with a first-mover advantage. We’ve already built metaverse poker, blackjack, roulette, backgammon, and slots, which are games enjoyed daily by our community through memorable events like live music performances, casino night competitions, poker tournaments, and more.

NFT's is just the buzzword of the moment and this is a company looking to make money from that. Being a "first mover" in this situation is almost useless when there are so many barriers to entry is a recipe for failure. I cannot see many people paying upfront in order for the chance to earn money by grinding, especially when it requires a lot of people doing the same thing for the whole system to grow. Free to play is what people want when they're already risking money at the tables. There seems to be a lot of marketing hype but little substance to the whole setup - it'll probably be dead within a year or two. If not, it will have drastically altered from the current configuration and probably to the detriment of earlier buyers.
