Future of Gaming

avatar

Growing up, I was very fortunate to get a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) very young, followed by a Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, N64, Nintendo Game Cube, and then the series of Xbox consoles and Playstations. My real draw to games came from our PC though. I first learned how to use a computer mouse on an old Apple IIE computer using 5 1/4 inch floppy disks to play games or use programs. I'm am thankful that I still have that computer and it is functional. My all time favorite game to play on it is still Might & Magic.

One of the most valuable things I have earned over the decades of growing up playing video games are the great memories that I have playing those games with my mom, brothers, and friends that nobody can take away from me. Now that I am older and time seems to be much more scarce, I have a difficult time playing a game where there is no added benefit of achieving in-game goals other then a sense of self-satisfaction. Once Splinterlands came out and I saw that you could play an amazing game that you were rewarded for your time spent playing and could earn money in the form of crypto, I was hooked!

I feel like this model of gaming will become the next evolution to the gaming world to where players are rewarded for their time playing the game. Another example that is on a different blockchain than Hive is Intergalactic Gaming, which pays players in their tournaments of games such as Call of Duty and Fifa in IGG, which is another cryptocurrency that has recently increased over 200% in the last week.

Very exciting time for gaming enthusiasts!

Yeah, work definitely made it more difficult to find time to play my favorite games. That's kind of my take with gaming now, is that everyone is so busy nowadays that making money of some sort by playing is a great way to keep gaming a part of everyone's lives, so they can make the time to play.

That is true. But be carefull of the evolution of the gaming/paying marcet. I think it is a high risk to invest to early.

The fun on gaming itself, should everytime be the topic. For me i play one day per month, that is "enough" and my time in game is used very good. Less is sometimes more for me. :-) Expactly on gaming. :-)

Good points, it certainly needs to be done the right way. I like the ownership aspect of it with Splinterlands, where the cards that you earn/win can be sold in an in-game marketplace to others that are looking for cards to purchase for themselves. Players just getting paid to play a game is a different animal and left to more "professionals", which is why I like to follow Intergalactic Gaming, where those players are more high-level sponsored type of players that are competitive.
