The Seven Best Blogs To Learn About Blockchain Culture

 Top 5 Blockchain Games You Can Explore

If video games are your thing, the blockchain is a dream come true. Let's dive into the latest blockchain offerings for gamers.

Jumping out of the chair, becoming petrified, opening our eyes wide... These are things we have experienced playing our favorite games. The most extreme play blockers have even gone so far as to break the screen of the computer or television, or tear out the controller cable for losing a mission.

Of course, if you are a true gamer, the game flows through your veins. And yet, what do you get in exchange for a game that you love and to which you dedicate more time than to your partner (don't worry, we won't tell anyone)? Nothing really. Because? Let's see it.

The plight of players and the gaming industry:

Although the revenue from the gaming industry exceeds that of the film and sports industries combined , the average gamer does not derive any real-life benefits from simply playing the game. Every chain in the game is in the hands of the developers.

Just think about the money you've spent on PUBG premium plans, Fortnite skins or FIFA packages. Have you ever been rewarded with something that can be used in real life? Of course, paying for exclusive items guarantees a better gaming experience, but is that enough?

Most games today make the majority of their revenue from the purchase of skins, characters, and other in-game items. However, these games do not give you true ownership of the assets. You can't even prove that you own an asset, much less exchange the assets for real money outside of the game. The economics of games revolve entirely around the developers, not the players.

That's what blockchain games can change. They can place users at the center of the gaming industry's economy. They can elevate the true spirit of the game and offer real benefits to all players. But what exactly are blockchain games and how are they different from traditional games?

Blockchain games: the new trend:

Bored of the traditional concept, a group of people eager for change embarked on a journey to redefine the game. Now developers create games by integrating blockchain technology into the core to give the player a central position in video games.

Blockchain games may seem like a completely new gaming concept, but they are not. These are just games that use blockchain development services in the background to provide a more immersive gaming experience.

In them, the game economy is based on the blockchain. Every purchase of a game item is recorded on a public blockchain, whether it is a general item or a unique item (in the form of a non-fungible token ).

That means your ownership is publicly recorded , and you can prove it at any time. Furthermore, these assets have real value in the digital asset markets and you can exchange them for real money with other players. It sounds good about selling your game items for real money, right?

Let's say you have a Fortnite skin that only 100 players around the world have. In the current situation, that skin has no value in real life. But if Fortnite were a blockchain game, the uniqueness or rarity of your skin would give it immense monetary value. If you wanted, you could also exchange that skin for real money on a suitable digital asset market.

Even the codes for blockchain games are often open source, meaning developers from around the world can collaborate and code games together. Blockchain games make it possible to develop top-notch games without a central entity controlling anything.

Now that we know the basics of blockchain games, we'll explore some of the most exciting ones.

Blockchain Games That Are Doing It Big:

Sorare:

Football and football players have, without a doubt, the most dedicated fans in the world. And So Rare is a game based on the Ethereum blockchain that takes advantage of this authentic devotion.

The game offers players the opportunity to convert their soccer cards into NFTs and form teams with their favorite players to compete in championships. However, what makes it special is that players who win receive real money rewards. So far, the game has partnered with more than 126 football teams around the world.

Upland:

Upland is another extremely popular blockchain game that offers the earth metaverse for users to buy, own, and sell virtual properties linked to real-world addresses. The game has mapped the cities of San Francisco and New York and allows you to buy virtual properties for sale in these cities.

Each property purchased with the platform's native token, UPX, generates passive income in the form of newly minted UPX tokens. But we're not just talking about money in the game. The UPX tokens you earn can be easily transferred or sold for other cryptocurrencies.Therefore, even if you own a virtual property, the money you earn is very real.

Alien Worlds:

As its name suggests, Alien Worlds is about exploring distant planets throughout the universe. The game takes place in the year 2055 and the player is an explorer who must visit other planets to mine a valuable resource called Trilium (TLM).

In addition to mining Trillium, players can also obtain different types of NFTs , each of which can be used for different purposes within the game. Players can use the resources to upgrade their equipment in order to mine more Trillium or discover more NFTs. They can also participate in battles with other players and other in-game activities.

Clash of Coins:

Clash of Coins claims to be the first massively multiplayer online real-time strategy (MMORTS) game based on the blockchain. MORTS are games in which multiple players interact or compete in a massive virtual world.

Before you start playing Clash of Coins, the game asks you to join a clan, which are basically cryptocurrencies, like BTC and ETH . That means that there are different clans in the game, each defending a cryptocurrency. Players from each clan compete with each other to conquer lands in the different countries of the game.If a clan conquers an entire country, no other clan can conquer that country for the next 30 minutes. Additionally, the clan is rewarded for their feat with real ETH tokens.

Neon District:

After being delayed several times, the release of Neon District finally gave fans of the cyberpunk cult something interesting to pass the time with.

Neon District is an adventure role-playing game based in a dystopian future where a group of rebels fight against an authoritarian government. Players can fight battles and earn futuristic characters, equipment, and other items in the form of NFTs . These NFTs can be traded on a digital asset marketplace on Polygon (formerly known as Matic Network).

Towards the future of blockchain gaming:

Blockchain games may have had modest beginnings back in the day, but they are advancing in leaps and bounds today. Large gaming companies, such as Ubisoft, have already started experimenting with blockchain technology in games .

It's only a matter of time before other gaming giants also jump on the bandwagon. We are not far from the day when most games offer real incentives to players and the entire industry becomes more player-centric. Finally!
