Prologue

Traditional gaming models used to be all about paying for in-game assets, pre-ordering different versions, maps purchases, weapons, skins & costumes. While this was fun for the time it lasted, gaming studios kept all the profits leaving gamers with no revenue share model. It was companies who raked in the revenue. As a result, centralisation has become fundamental in models like these. Gaming companies are not subtle about their crave for your info; they make it a requirement to fill in your personal information. Plus, their use of targeted ads violates players’ privacy and the user activity clause of games. On the other hand, GameFi Blockchain ecosystems are completely decentralised, free from collecting personal information. Thus they are more likely to thrive as more and more users now understand the delicacy of personal info violation, And how multinational companies have exploited their trust.
