The rise of Web3 has led to the emergence of "play-to-earn" games that utilize blockchain technology to allow players to own and monetize their gaming assets. While these games have had some success, they remain niche products as mainstream video game players have not fully embraced them. Games like Axie Infinity and CryptoKitties have demonstrated the potential of blockchain for creating unique digital assets and in-game currencies that players can trade and earn rewards with. However, the sustainability of these economies has been a challenge, and gameplay has been criticized as repetitive and boring. Star Atlas attempted to improve gameplay and create an immersive experience but focused too heavily on DeFi aspects, alienating traditional gamers. The key to success for Web3 games lies in prioritizing fun and addictive gameplay while incorporating Web3 functionality as an add-on. A new mobile game called Drift Zone: Arena is gaining popularity by focusing on gameplay rather than emphasizing its crypto aspects. By focusing on the player experience, Web3 games have the potential to succeed and attract a broader audience.
