Now I have no reason to believe that console gaming companies will let NFT and play to earn game pass by while they look and do nothing, I am sure that they are worried that play ri earn game could be the main focusing of gamers in the future, if new p2e games start offering gamers what they are been offered by console gaming companies it is over.
This is getting more interesting for play-to-earn games, it seems companies like SONY aren't ready to lose their gamers to blockchain gaming, if you believe that play to earn games aren't going to work out you are playing, and keep playing till things get serious.
I am a passionate pc gamer for many years now and as a gamer i am still not really sure what to think about NFT's and play 2 earn mechanics in a game. I have not seen a good game so far, that also had NFT's and a play 2 earn concept included and to be honest i think it is also very hard to create a game, that is fun to play for people that do not want to invest into it and that is also profitable for those "players" that are playing this game to earn money.
In order to be profitable to play i think that 90% of the playersbase need to paying those 10% of the players that are earning money and therefore the game needs to be fun to play or those 90% won't stay.
Yes, compare to pc games, P2E are way off, quality is not that good, mechanics. But let's see, if big names in the gaming industry will focus to at least developed their won P2E with the whole metaverse concept then who knows.
But for now, there's none, even Facebook who has been building a metaverse can't do it, how can the others do with just small budget.
So I don't see it being as big in the gaming industry, it will still be based on how much money players and the developers are going to earn, simply as that.
