The P2E trend is falling and is no longer as interesting as before. P2E games today, the purpose is just to generate tokens and NFTs to buy and sell for profit, not real entertainment. But if in the long run, now traditional game publishers are looking to cooperate with blockchain companies to bring them together, then I believe the P2E trend will return and get stronger and stronger.
P2E trend will not return in my opinion. Because the P2E, Play To Earn is a wrong concept. It has a successful leader, Axie Infinity but when the hype gone, no new flow of capital from new gamers, price will be dumped. Because what gamers want, money. From what, from the in-game awards. Do they care about price of token? Probably not, they will dump tokens earned by playing to get their capital back. Selling pressure from gamers are huge, very huge, unstoppable if no nerf control from developer teams.
Metaverse is a very new concept that needs time to be verified. What we have now is just a broad and vague concept. Products, we don't have it to verify now.
