All of the games are built on the same foundation, with the exception of skin colour and weapon design. High game entry fees and a high learning curve for new users are discouraging new users from joining the system. Because of the unique teams they have, only early adopters are making a lot of money. The number of unique users registering each day is decreasing, indicating that the hype is fading.
Before you say that, have you check the games that you see on the store right now? Now tell me, what can you see? most of these games do also have similarity but the only slight difference is the name. You shouldn't wonder if the same thing can happen in the nft and metaverse gaming but not all games are high cost and cost in the price isn't only the basis for the players to ignore the game. Have you seen axie? During its peak where the cost of creating a team is too expensive, this doesn't stop players to continue on the game.

It's not only the early comers that can make money but late adopters can earn too but some won't care about how much will they earn but as long as they love the game and it makes them enjoy. Nft and metaverse gaming is still a thing so their hype is not yet fading.

While a few of these games will be able to sustain new players through good game mechanics and graphics, most crypto gamers are really just looking for their next flip or the one moonshot. The "jealousy" factor is pretty high and it is unclear as to how this plays out for new players trying to sign up to such games.
I guess that is what differentiates the type of players, some playing a game for fun while the others are maximising revenue or profit. The only sustainable P2E cryptocurrenices/NFT games are the ones that are able to keep the money flowing. As long the players get a profit, the games will go on and users will keep coming.

Which I also believe as on the title of what OP said, the underlying concept of P2E is fragile, there is no other reason for a player to keep playing other than money, not the game aspect itself.
