02/03 March 2022 | “The top firms in blockchain gaming are collectively valued at well over $12 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money for a handful of companies that have yet to release any blockbuster titles. Web3 is pregnant with promise, but crypto-currency, decentralized finance, and non-fungible tokens remain abstractions and have yet to attract mainstream audiences.
In this talk we’ll review the current state of play in blockchain gaming. We’ll talk about current successes and failures, the drivers of change, how legacy game makers look at this phenomenon, and a possible outlook on what’s to come.”
