Blockchain 101: Why Will Web3 Gaming Take Over Web2
In my opinion, Web3 gaming has the potential to take over Web2 gaming. For starters, it offers a new level of player ownership and control, giving gamers the ability to truly own their in-game assets, such as weapons, armor, and collectibles. This creates a new level of engagement and investment for players, as they have a tangible stake in the game, , which is currently not possible in Web2 gaming.
Web3 gaming also enables new forms of economic activity and marketplaces, such as player-driven trading and secondary markets. This opens up new opportunities for players to monetize their in-game assets and for game developers to create new revenue streams. Additionally, Web3 gaming allows for the creation of decentralized, autonomous game worlds where players can interact with each other and the game in a trustless and decentralized way. This creates new opportunities for player-driven content and game mechanics, such as user-generated quests and player-run economies.
How Top-Tier Game Production Houses Coming to Web3 Can Change Player Dynamics
Top-tier game production companies entering the industry can play a significant role in driving adoption of Web3 because they bring a wealth of experience in game design, development, and marketing. This experience can be leveraged to create high-quality, engaging, and immersive Web3 games that appeal to a wide audience.
Game production companies also have access to large existing player bases and communities that can be transitioned to Web3 games, helping quickly build a critical mass of users. Combine that with their resources and infrastructure, and they’re better able to support and market their games to help raise awareness of Web3 and its capabilities, driving more people to explore and adopt the technology. As a side note, these companies can then act as thought leaders and evangelists within the industry, driving more innovation and investment in the ecosystem.
Cimu Games is Bringing Runestone Keeper Game to Web3
One such production company is Cimu Games, which is using Ready Games' web3 game development tools to re-release its million-selling Runestone Keeper — an important development for the Web3 ecosystem. This shows that established game developers and companies are recognizing the potential of Web3 technology and are actively exploring ways to incorporate it into their existing games and franchises. This can help to drive wider adoption of Web3 and increase the number of high-quality, engaging games available on the platform.
Further, the fact that Cimu Games has chosen to use Ready Games' multi-platform tech stack to re-release Runestone Keeper on PC, console, and mobile is significant as it represents one of the first examples of a Web3 game being made available on multiple platforms. This is important because it demonstrates the potential for Web3 games to reach a wider audience and could help to drive more mainstream adoption of the technology.
