Blockchain gaming has grown exponentially over the past year as a new and innovative alternative to the traditional gaming world. Although the two areas are largely separate, some market participants see an integrated future.
“I was in the early days of mobile gaming, right after the iPhone launched, the App Store launched,” Chris Akhavan, Game Director at NFT Magic Eden Marketplace, told TechCrunch. “I remember the attitude of traditional game companies at the time was that mobile games were stupid.”
These gaming conglomerates viewed mobile games as “really small, inconspicuous games” that people wouldn’t want to play, Akhavan said. “Many of the big traditional game companies have largely ignored this [games] in the first two years, and that created opportunities for mobile gaming startups like Activision-owned King to build that lead and grow significantly.
As that happened, the big game companies became very focused on the mobile gaming space and started buying smaller games to compete, Akhavan noted.
“We think the same journey will happen on web3,” said Akhavan. “Billions of dollars were invested in new Web3 game studios last year and they will be at the forefront of building the ecosystem and show the true side of the possibilities, which will be huge.”
