in time, a lot of p2e platforms will surpass what axie has achieved. the team behind it should continuously innovate to stay relevant with their chosen industry. if they fail to post updates and new features, some of these players will indeed go to newer p2e games. because these gamers won't stick to one game only, and if they see free access, definitely they will try that game. since there are a lot of gamers, every p2e game has their chance to get their audience, but it is their innovation how they will survive in the competition. this is why maybe axie is slowing down. because these gamers are finding a different option, cheaper than buying their AXS to get started.
In time, 99% of current p2e games wont even be released. As they are another scam-begging scheme. "We have drawn a game art, it will be a NFT role play game, give us money for development". Gaming industry is full of this shit. While crypto p2e games try to raise money, individualist create rogue-like or pixel games in 3-6 months and earn from sales in steam. Crypto games will never achieve that.
At some point they will achieve it. Still there is high risk, cuz of the scams you mentioned. Mixing game experience and p2e model depends not only on developers, but on the community too.
