It became a global sensation and like all hype bubbles, came back down to earth, but with that came a renewed focus to build. CS-GO skins still sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars (as recently as last month)Ĭompanies like Axie Infinity got all the hype (for better and worse) by letting players easily earn and own their in-game characters. This isn't a super new concept – remember Club Neverdie from Entropia? This fully virtual property sold for $635,000 back in 2010 at a time when platforms with similar play-to-earn models like Second Life also flourished. These rewards generally come in the form of in-game digital assets that players can buy, trade, and sell outside of the game for real cash 💰 The future of gaming lets players earn rewards that have real-world value just for playing and when they do pay, get real ownership.

Within the next 5 years, the majority of gamers won't play games unless they are being properly valued for that time and actually own the things they buy.
