I never become a believer of crypto games because most of them is a just the typical shit game that just add crypto for their in game currency to categorized it as “blockchain game” which it’s not in reality because the game is completely not running in the blockchain.
The demand for crypto games is almost not high after the hype. Axie is the top crypto game which is not on the very low price. With this price condition of the crypto top game explain everything what’s the real condition of crypto gaming.
What about axie? Is the game a true blockchain game? If not, I think it's not a problem to have a category for crypto games. I don't really bother if the game is blockchain-based or not but I am more concerned about the graphics of the game. Axie is a cute game and its graphics are not really that bad. It reminds me of my old Tamagotchi device.
I think the game is affordable during its early phase but it got a lot of attention so it's normal that their value skyrockets. High price does not stop the people from participating on it, so price is not the problem but it was the sustainability of the project. Many of the devs stops developing their project further, and that's why they fail.
