There has been a lot of discussion about how P2E games can attract more traditional players. And while there are different ways P2E developers have gone about it, the easiest way to do it is to take a leaf out of the Web2 playbook: it looks like using game design strategies that have been proven to work well. – Especially when it comes Shelf life.
The default thinking in crypto and Web3 wants everything to last forever. A failure is considered when a token is corrupted or a platform becomes obsolete. But in the game industry, they are games Expected To have an expiration date. It’s acceptable – and expected – for players to enjoy them and eventually move on.
There are exceptions to this rule. Hardcore games Games like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty for example have loyal fan bases. However, when we talk about Middle-core And Casual games It is very common for them to last three months to twelve months at most before they are considered “old”.
Therefore, I believe that P2E game developers should consider their natural cycles and start thinking of new ways to monetize games. In doing so, we prioritize UX and user buy-in over blockchain usage.
There are some cases where verifying ownership or identity of digital objects in video games, such as blockchain, may be the best tool for the job. Although the technology to support this is not yet realized at a practical level, there is an argument to be made for its practicality.
Ultimately, though, I think the future of blockchain in gaming is less visible than it is today – it’s so woven into the gameplay experience that no one knows it’s there. To get to that point, it’s time to be more judicious in the way we use it.
