Why is it said that Crypto games are changing the game industry?
The gaming industry is huge and still growing. About 3 billion people around the world play video games, almost half of the global population.
Although most of the current games are designed for males aged 15-30, there is no doubt that the current games are popular among the masses.
However, the gaming industry is not entirely without problems.
Recently, issues surrounding customer ownership of purchased games have come into the spotlight. Traditional games such as Assassin's Creed can remove players' accounts.
At the same time, nearly half of gamers are women, yet few games are suitable for them.

ever-increasing game costs
A few years ago, you could buy a new Call of Duty and get everything in the game for around $40. However, the current purchase price of the game has risen to about $60, and it is full of DLC add-ons that need to be repaid.
That's not the only problem, though, despite some games' attitude toward DLC, which adds to the cost of buying the game. But in fact, the biggest problem is that when a user buys a game, the user does not own the game or its corresponding assets.
Free-to-play games like League of Legends or Fortnite have become some of the most popular games in the world due to their low barrier to entry and player-first business models, which make money primarily by selling items.

How P2E Gaming Can Reinvigorate the Gaming Industry
Around these problems that plagued the traditional game industry, Web3 developers devoted themselves to it, and Play-to-earn games came into being.
Play-to-earn games are popular blockchain-based games that allow users to earn certain income by playing games.
These games are often based on NFT, and the items and assets obtained by the user in the game are unique to the user and completely belong to the user. This means that every asset you buy or earn will remain in your NFT wallet even if the developer stops supporting the game.
P2E games are built on the blockchain, which can more effectively resist hacking attacks and contribute to the integrity of the game to ensure fairness for users.

lack of representation
Current P2E games lack targeted and representative products, which is the direction that current P2E games should strive to change and innovate. Thankfully, some Web3 games are already working to address these issues.
All in all, P2E gaming is one of the ways to bring gaming into the future of the Metaverse, and we have no doubts that it will continue to thrive.
