🔔 Preface:
Blockchain games attract users by offering profit opportunities, but overly emphasizing profits often neglects the gaming experience. While blockchain technology and NFTs provide players with greater asset ownership, their sustainability and playability remain challenges.
On August 20, 2024, China's Game Science Company released the blockbuster (Black Myth: Wukong), receiving rave reviews from players for its exquisite visuals and smooth action scenes. In contrast, many blockchain games overly pursue profits and neglect gameplay, leading to a decline in the overall experience. This phenomenon recurs in the gaming industry, especially evident in blockchain games.
💥 The Capital Frenzy of Web3 Games:
Web3 games have consistently been a key focus for many institutional investors, receiving substantial funding. Although interest in blockchain games declined in the first half of 2024 and even cooled at times, raising doubts among investors about the prospects of this sector, since August, blue-chip NFT prices have rebounded, and the popularity of some blockchain game projects has gradually increased.
Subsequently, the global explosion of (Black Myth: Wukong) has renewed attention from the crypto market towards the Web3 blockchain gaming track, beginning to search for the most promising projects. It is expected that games will become a new hotspot in the crypto market, and with the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts expected in September, this round of market adjustment may end in September, leading to a large-scale rebound, and blockchain games are likely to succeed and lead the next bull market.

🌱 The Four Major Challenges Facing Blockchain Games 🌱
🔸 Alienation of Player Roles: In blockchain games, players are often seen as investors, replacing the fun of gaming with economic motives. This alienation weakens the emotional connection between players and games, making the gaming experience cold and utilitarian.
🔸 Sustainability Issues of Economic Models: Complex token economic models can easily evolve into structures resembling Ponzi schemes, with excessive pursuit of profits leading to difficulties in sustaining new funds, ultimately resulting in the collapse of the economic system. This is similar to the numerical design issues in early online games, driven by capital greed.
🔸 Innovation is Restricted by Commercial Interests: Innovations in blockchain games are often suppressed by commercial interests, with most works simply combining blockchain technology with existing gaming models, lacking unique creativity and content.
🔸 Short-sighted Development Models: Many blockchain game developers rush to seize market hype, lacking long-term planning, leading to rapid rises and swift declines of projects. This is similar to the short-termism seen in early online game development.
🎯 Summary:
Blockchain games face challenges similar to traditional games, while adding new uncertainties. In the future, P2E games will build interactive metaverses around GameFi, rewarding players and developers through asset financialization. The key is how to enhance gameplay while pursuing economic benefits, avoiding past mistakes.
