How the World of Gaming is Changing and How Blockchain is Playing a Big Role

Video gaming, a billion dollar global industry is turning a new leaf and looking into NFT potential. What seemed to be a great idea has flopped the first time around. 

The release of “Ghost Recon Breakpoint” just last month resulted in dismal aftermath for their NFT plans. After the 600 hours of playtime, gamers only received a free helmet for in-game use. Only 15 of the NFTs were claimed for a sum of about $400, according to Forbes. 

This isn't to say that NFTs in the gaming space are over forever. On the contrary, heavy hitters such as EA Sports and Zynga are exploring their futures with blockchain. The revolution of blockchain gaming brings the player’s in-game assets into the virtual world of finance. Game assets in the form of NFTs allow players to hold gaming items as if they were stocks or bonds.  

Although there is excitement and buzz around these newly emerging features, there are some downsides as well. First, it’ll come as no shock to anyone involved in the crypto or NFT space of the strain that blockchain gaming could have on the environment. Another concern is the potential gambling laws that will have to accompany the pay-to-play model where users can earn and lose assets. 

Web3 vs Web 2.0 & Why Web3 Has the Edge

In 2021, it seemed like we were seeing the dawn of a new digital age. One can only assume its further development and sophistication in 2022 and in the years to come. The big debate on the interwebs as of late is the new face of the internet. Web3 or Web 2.0? To summarize the debate, Web3 takes the cake. The vision for Web3 will obliterate the offerings of Web 2.0 in a short amount of time. The consensus is why take the middle man of 2.0 when we could go from Web 1.0 to 3 pretty instantly. 

Here are five trends that will explode Web 3 and how NFTs are the way to get there:

  1. NFT Verification
  2. Sidechains
  3. Music
  4. Wearables
  5. Dynamic Avatars
