Can Nakamoto Games (NAKA) make money from Play-to-Earn?
Nakamoto Games (NAKA) is a cryptocurrency built for play-to-earn blockchain games.
To explain, play-to-earn games reward players with assets such as cash, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or cryptocurrency. For example, Nakamoto’s games reward players with NAKA. Hence, I think play-to-earn combines video games with gambling. Play-to-earn differs from most games, which make money by charging for subscriptions.
The hope behind play-to-earn games is that paying rewards will attract more players. Nakamoto is one of many companies trying to build a play-to-earn blockchain ecosystem.
Nakamoto Games and Marketplaces
One hope at Nakamoto is to attract broad use by offering games that resemble classic video games. For example, Metris instead of Tetris, Candy Shop instead of Candy Crush, and Brawler Master instead of Street Fighter.
In contrast, most of the play-to-earn games I have seen mimic popular massive-multiplayer online games (mmogs) such as World of WarCraft and RuneScape. Thus, Nakamoto targets a mass audience instead of hardcore gamers.
