My thoughts about the current state of blockchain gaming.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I was reading an <a href="https://platoblockchain.com/plato-data/syn-city-reveals-token-auction-via-copper-launch-with-support-from-merit-circle-and-guildfi/">article</a> about another blockchain game. And I was thinking about the current state of blockchain games. getting crypto from doing things I enjoy would be fine, but we don't want to change why we play video games for fun. I think blockchain gaming is a great idea and beneficial for those that make money, but a lot of people don’t play games to make money. It's all about having a good time. </p> <p>This, I believe, is what most blockchain game devs are now unaware of. As a gamer, I believe the game should be fun first, with tokenomics as a later consideration - but blockchain games are currently handling things the wrong way.</p> <p>A game created on the primary purpose of play-to-earn will necessarily be a shitty game, because it will feature grindy bullshit at its core rather than good gameplay. I mean I love some good MMORPGS as a person who enjoys them and as a member of a generation that used to grind a lot. Grinding is acceptable for me as long as the game is good.</p> <p>I’m sure there is a place for blockchain technology in gaming and some of it will almost certainly be great. Instead of trying to come up with a horrible play-to-earn or pay to win grind that will be terrible, I want a studio to make a terrific game with some blockchain integration. Perhaps this will encourage game developers to abandon the pay-to-win approach.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/EleonorTrimpe"> /u/EleonorTrimpe </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/s6tt2g/my_thoughts_about_the_current_state_of_blockchain/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/s6tt2g/my_thoughts_about_the_current_state_of_blockchain/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
