Leveling-Up the Video Game Industry with Blockchains

August 7, 2018

In 2017, the video game industry broke the previous year’s record for sales by reaching $116 billion in revenue (up 10.7 percent from 2016)1 . Blockchains stand to magnify this feat by introducing new ways to create value by enforcing asset ownership for gamers and reducing intermediation in exchange. However, gamers have very high expectations for intuitive user experiences, and if accessing the benefits of blockchains impedes their gameplay experience, the main value offered by blockchains is lost.Developing with blockchains requires new technical and design approaches that must be accounted for to create a bridge to the general and hardcore gaming audiences. Tools must also be provided for game developers to participate in the open blockchain economy so they can focus on what they do best: creating amazing content and experiences.
