The rise of decentralized gaming

Last year was the year of NFTs and the metaverse. According to Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda, who addressed the matter in a letter. While smaller firms had previously created initiatives based on similar ideas. The sector began infusing funding in a more significant way last year. As a result, initiatives like Decentraland and The Sandbox, which have been around for a long time, are already reaping the benefits of this drive.

Due to its play-to-earn characteristics, Axie Infinity became one of the most popular decentralized games this year, appealing to those with poor incomes in countries like the Philippines and Venezuela, who perceived a bigger income playing these than working in standard professions in their nations.

Traditional gaming firms (such as Square Enix and Ubisoft) are now attempting to incorporate these components into their game ecosystems, proposing to develop token currencies and markets that would allow these universes to be self-sustaining in the future. However, AAA game studios have yet to develop an iteration of a major franchise that incorporates NFTs.
