Re: Are Blockchain Games Too Complicated for Mass Adoption?

I've played several blockchain games and to be honest, they're enjoyable only in the beginning when there is an incentive. Players are only motivated to play because of the incentives and the rewards that are expected to get in the end while playing the game. And I think that is a very very wrong narrative and reasoning if someone is into games. Games are meant to be enjoyed and played because they should be fun. But with integration of blockchain, there is nothing wrong with that but the motivation that sinks in to the minds of everyone is about the reward, the fun is gone. Looking at the long term sustainability of the blockchain games, they're hard if majority of the users are all earning. There must be a funding that should circulate not only with the players but also with the game itself and developers. It should be a real economy. I've played a lot in the past without blockchain and crypto and yet, they've stayed for so long because the developers are not greedy and they are maintaining a balance in the economy of it. I think this is now one of the reasons why most blockchain games are too early to die.

I think you are talking about "play to win" or "play to earn" type games.   The only blockchain involved in those games is the movement of the rewards to your wallet.   
That's how they have advertised it by being a "blockchain game" but you're right, they're play to earn games and after the game, it's all blockchain technology they use for sending those rewards and other than that, nothing else. Although some seem to be free to play and earn but that's how it goes when these games are integrated with blockchain. They always put that as a description but it's all integrated with some crypto rewards.
