Web3 Gaming is Dead. Here’s how to fix it.

So you heard the rumour too? Web3 gaming is dead, right? Think again. With social media alive with rumours of the death of Web3 gaming, we thought we better take a proper look at what is really going on. Strap in! Web3 Gaming Isn’t Dead—It’s Only Getting Started Following the unpredictability of the wider crypto market, Web3 gaming has been going through a crisis in recent months. With failed projects littering the wayside, it's clear that those who haven’t got their act together face an uphill battle. Not just for viral following but to actually get off the ground in the first place. Like every major gaming revolution before it, whether it be the rise of mobile, free-to-play platforms, eSports, or digital skins, Web3 gaming is facing its share of scepticism. However, as always, the reality is somewhat different. Disruption never comes easy and real change takes time. When you look more closely, what we’re witnessing isn’t the death of Web3 gaming but its transformation into something more powerful than you can ever imagine! The Death of Hype = The Birth of Quality During the peak of the last crypto cycle, the Web3 gaming landscape was flooded with sensational hype and unsubstantiated speculation. A large number of projects had no business even calling themselves games as empty promises and rug pulls reigned supreme. As you are no doubt aware, through 2020 and 2021 the Play-to-Earn (P2E) concept exploded. As many of us dreamed of giving up work with the promise of new careers and revenue streams, the P2E model dominated the landscape. However, unsustainable economies don’t last, and as the market corrected, many spectators labelled Web3 gaming a glorious failure. Many hardcore gamers complained that Web3 gaming wasn’t even needed and that it was being pushed on them. When you also consider that many builders entered the space for extraction rather than innovation, the proliferation of poor-quality products across the market made perfect sense. In the background, developers continued to build, confident in the knowledge that the market was evolving. Despite claims of its death, many Web3 gaming projects were still raising significant capital. While Axie Infinity may have replaced wages for some, there was no turning back. The genie was finally out of the bottle. According to @SofiaCryptoVibe the lack of Axie Infinity-style hype doesn't mean death but maturity. The industry is now shedding the gimmicks and refocusing on what truly matters – the player. In 2025, developers have learnt from their mistakes and are building immersive, engaging experiences that are truly worthy of your money. As always in business, it takes time to cut through the noise, find out what works, and refine the product into something that not only meets customer demands but pushes the boundaries of what was previously acceptable. Gaming’s Rebellious Future: Empowering Players Like Never Before Web3 gaming continues to flip the script. With the emphasis on freedom, empowerment and true ownership, developers are transforming stale ideas into new concepts. Web3 gaming gives players the power to shape in-game economies, trade assets freely, and participate in community governance. The core philosophy is player-centricity. No more renting of digital items – this time, you own the asset. Say goodbye to locked environments dreamed up by tired old devs. With Web3 gaming, YOU decide how to engage. Web3 gaming isn’t just a minor iteration of a successful concept. It’s a complete rewrite of the rules of engagement! A rebellious movement that hands control to those who fuel the industry – the gamers. The Builders Who Are Defying the Odds Despite the turmoil, forward-thinking studios continue to build. Major gaming houses are integrating blockchain concepts, thereby recognising the value Web3 brings to society. For example, in 2025, we have seen Sony file a rising number of Web3 patents, Ubisoft partner with Oasys Network for Web3 game distribution, and Epic Games host more than 60 Web3 titles alone. Meanwhile, established Web3 games such as MapleStory U (400K+ users and 80%+ retention), Off the Grid (13M+ wallets and 400K-500K daily active users), and RavenQuest (gaining traction as a leading MMORPG) continue to build real engagement, proving the demand for immersive blockchain-enabled worlds isn’t going anywhere soon. PLAYA3ULL GAMES have also emerged as a trailblazer in the Web3 gaming world. They offer a robust ecosystem that combines cutting-edge technology with player empowerment. Be sure to check out our latest news. Even with the broader crypto market behaving as erratically as ever, funding continues to flow into Web3 gaming. You might ask why visionary developers can see beyond the short-term volatility and recognise rising demand and long-term potential. Web3 gaming isn’t just about a quick cash grab. It's about the fundamental transformation of how games are played, owned and experienced. A Community-Driven Revolution It's becoming evident that the most powerful force in gaming isn’t technology but community. Despite the amazing graphics and powerful storylines, gamers want to connect, compete, create, and collaborate. Web3 gaming facilitates deeper player-driven ecosystems where guilds, DAOs, and open-world communities thrive because they are built on collective ownership and shared incentives. It is those who understand this paradigm shift that is leading the way as the next generation of gaming materialises into reality. The Future is Fearless Web3 gaming isn’t dead. It's simply in a transformation, where the hype is fading and replaced with real products and better experiences. @RealJonahBlake and @0xferg argue that Web3 gaming is at a critical inflection point, requiring better business models and user experiences. Scepticism will always dampen the brightest of lights. Every major evolutionary shift is met with resistance before it becomes mainstream. Web3 isn’t an experiment. It's the inevitable next step for an industry that feeds on innovation. But there is no need to wait for permission. We continue to build, disrupt and empower. The future of gaming belongs to those who are brave enough to take risks and embrace change. Make sure you’re not left behind. Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Blockchain game companies with nodes - cash flow or cash grab?

Blockchain game companies are transforming the gaming industry by leveraging decentralised infrastructure. This ‘sea-change’ in video gaming gives players unprecedented control and actual ownership over their in-game assets. Platforms that offer a nodal infrastructure provide users with greater security, enhanced transparency, and better player rewards, which all help to create more immersive and engaging user experiences. Let’s explore three top blockchain gaming companies leveraging node technology today: Gala Games, PLAYA3ULL GAMES, and GameChain by Gamestarter. PLAYA3ULL GAMES PLAYA3ULL GAMES continue to make serious waves in the blockchain gaming space by integrating a robust node infrastructure that not only enhances decentralisation but increases platform security. By becoming a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node owner, unique opportunities to earn substantial rewards while helping secure the network arise. With only 50,000 licenses in existence, PLAYA3ULL GAMES node ownership grants access to an exclusive and prestigious community of committed gamers. As node owners, participants receive a share of the native 3ULL coin from the allocated daily distribution. In the first year of operation, 13,698,630 3ULL coins were distributed daily, with 50% going directly to node operators. Over the next ten years, five billion 3ULL coins will be distributed annually, and once the maximum supply is reached, node owners will continue to earn rewards through transaction gas fees. Further benefits include an exclusive NFT for every game in the PLAYA3ULL ecosystem and access to an exclusive Discord channel for node owners. Node prices start at $100, increasing by $100 for every 100 nodes sold. Early adoption ensures greater rewards and a prime position in the network’s tiered pricing system. Securing a PLAYA3ULL GAMES node now means gaining a head start in accumulating 3ULL coins and the potential for maximum benefits. GALA GAMES Gala Games is one of the trailblazing blockchain game companies that empowers players with actual ownership of in-game assets. Gala Games are also giving players a say in the future of the network with the opportunity to own and operate their own Gala nodes. Running a Gala node allows users to help secure the platform while earning rewards in GALA tokens and exclusive NFTs. Gala node holders also help support game transactions, governance, and overall network stability, ensuring a more decentralised and player-driven environment. Node ownership offers holders numerous advantages. The ability to vote on key ecosystem decisions, receive early access to new game releases, and exclusive NFT drops are among some of the most popular. With a limited number of nodes available, their value has the potential to grow significantly over time. Gala nodes are set to become tradable NFTs, increasing their utility and market potential in the future. For anyone interested in node ownership but hesitant about technical setup, third-party services like Gala-Node.com provide step-by-step guidance and operational support, making it easier for new users to get started. Whether through gaming, staking, or network participation, Gala Games continues to shape the future of decentralised gaming and offer lucrative opportunities for early adopters. Gamechain by Gamestarter GameChain by Gamestarter is yet another platform revolutionising the indie gaming landscape by allowing users to participate in network validation and earn rewards through Game Node Keys. With a total supply of 80,000 Game Keys, these nodes play a crucial role in securing transactions and maintaining the network, rewarding validators with $GAME tokens, NFTs, and in-game assets. Node operators benefit from multi-token rewards, early access to IGOs, and product launches. A tiered pricing system governs the sale of Game Keys, incentivising early adoption. Additionally, GameChain employs a halving mechanic, where token rewards are higher in the earlier years and decrease over time to maintain long-term sustainability. In the first year, 125,000,000 $GAME tokens will be distributed, ensuring substantial incentives for initial node validators. GameChain offers a lock-up multiplier system to enhance further staking rewards, where longer staking periods yield greater multipliers. For example, a 12-month stake provides a 2x multiplier, while a 24-month lock-up grants a 3x boost. Stakers accumulate points based on their stake and lock-up duration, determining their share of the daily rewards pool. With over 930,000 users already engaged in the ecosystem, GameChain is positioning itself as a dominant force in blockchain gaming. By becoming a node holder, participants have access to unparalleled rewards while contributing to the growth of an expanding, decentralised and transparent gaming network. Blockchain gaming is no longer a distant vision - it’s happening right now. The blockchain game companies leading the charge offer unprecedented opportunities for players and investors. Gala Games, PLAYA3ULL GAMES, and Gamestarter are building the foundations of a new gaming economy where the players' control, ownership, and rewards belong. This is your chance to be more than just a gamer. Whether running a node, staking tokens, or earning NFTs, you contribute to a movement reshaping the gaming industry. Don’t just play the game - own it. The time to act is now! Will you take your place in the revolution? Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played! Want to experience the thrill of a NEXUS with others?

Building a Web3 gaming platform: the blueprint for success

Web3 development brings a revolutionary shift in the gaming industry, empowering players with ownership, control, and the opportunity for financial reward. In this blog, we examine the core reasons driving this paradigm shift, examining the transition from traditional Web2 models to Web3 gaming platforms like those we are building here at PLAYA3ULL GAMES. We also discuss balancing play-to-earn mechanics and navigating regulatory uncertainty, highlighting the path towards realising this exciting new gaming era's full potential. Game on! Understanding the reasons for Web3 Gaming and PLAYA3ULL GAMES Web3 gaming platforms leverage blockchain technology to empower players. This decentralisation allows players to truly own their in-game items, represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can be used across different games and virtual worlds, helping to foster the concept of interoperability. A key driver for Web3 gaming's rise is the play-to-earn (P2E) model. This innovative approach allows players to generate real-world value through gameplay, transforming gaming from a hobby into a potential source of income. By participating in the game's ecosystem, players can earn cryptocurrencies or NFTs, which can then be traded or sold. Games like NEXUS give out 2.1 million 3ULL coins weekly to the players. Smart Contracts are self-executing agreements written in code that automate in-game processes and lead to enhanced levels of trust and fairness. This transparency fosters a more equitable and engaging gaming environment. While challenges still remain (scalability and user adoption being some of the largest), the potential for Web3 technology to revolutionise the gaming industry is undeniable. Key Features Every Web3 Gaming Platform Needs The potential of Web3 gaming hinges on the delivery of engaging experiences that transcend tokenisation and P2E opportunities. Fun and compelling gameplay will always remain paramount to any committed gamer. Web3 elements should enhance the core experience, focusing on memorable moments and satisfying progression. A sustainable in-game economy is crucial for longevity. Platforms must balance asset creation and consumption while preventing inflation and immediate selling. This isn’t going to be easy. Regular monitoring and adjustment are key, along with ‘sink mechanisms’ that remove assets from circulation. Innovative gameplay mechanics that leverage blockchain technology are essential for Web3 gaming success. Beyond tokenising assets, platforms should explore decentralised world-building, provable randomness for fair systems, and dynamic narratives driven by player actions. Seamless onboarding is also vital for mainstream adoption. Intuitive tutorials, smooth wallet creation, and the abstraction of complex crypto elements are crucial for a positive first-time user experience. As we all know, a thriving community is the backbone of any successful platform. Social features, regular events, clear communication channels, and user feedback systems help foster greater levels of engagement and trust. This is why our Supporta3ULLS Discord community does a great job helping all players with issues or queries. Designing incentive systems for users Effective incentive design is crucial for driving user behaviour within the Web3 gaming platform. At its core, it leverages the principle that rewards and encourages specific actions. Effective incentive systems align user motivations with project goals, helping to foster increased levels of growth and user engagement. It is generally accepted that a well-designed system should incentivise positive contributions and discourage negative actions. The first step in incentive design is the identification of desired behaviours, such as holding tokens, participating in governance, or contributing to platform development. Incentives can then be structured to reward these actions, while penalties can deter undesirable behaviour. Financial rewards, access to exclusive resources, or even recognition can all serve as effective motivators. The overall tokenomics of the Web3 gaming platform, including supply, demand, and value, should also be carefully considered. Creating network effects, such as rewarding early adopters, can further boost user participation. A number of innovative incentive mechanisms currently exist. With new concepts being added everyday, P2E gamers can choose from learn-to-earn, move-to-earn, play-to-own, play-to-earn, rent-to-earn, travel-to-earn, share-to-earn, and wellness-to-earn. As you can see, each mechanism caters to different user motivations, from acquiring knowledge to achieving fitness goals. Ignoring incentives can be detrimental and lead to low user participation, lack of motivation, and potential security risks. Therefore, a balanced approach that combines compelling incentives with a valuable product or service is key to long-term success. Overcoming Challenges in Web3 Game Development Web3 gaming faces a complex set of challenges. Whilst balancing ‘play’ and ‘earn’ remains paramount, games must be engaging and fun and not solely focused on financial rewards. Striking this balance is crucial for long-term player retention. User experience is another major hurdle. Onboarding must be simplified, making wallet connections and account setup. Understanding blockchain mechanics is intuitive for ‘non-crypto’ players. It goes without saying that seamless fiat on/off-ramps are essential for mainstream adoption, allowing players to easily convert traditional currency to cryptocurrency and vice-versa. The shift towards player ownership requires careful design to align incentives between developers and players. This can be achieved through revenue-sharing models, player-owned governance systems, or decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Economic sustainability is also critical, requiring balanced tokenomics, controlled inflation, and mechanisms to maintain asset value. Developers must shift focus from pre-sale NFTs to creating high-quality gameplay experiences. Building and nurturing active communities is also vital for success. This involves fostering open communication, incorporating player feedback, and creating a sense of shared ownership among Web3 gamers. Improved blockchain scalability is also needed to handle increased transaction volumes and ensure smooth gameplay. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has custom-built a blockchain that caters specifically for Web3 video games and the scalability required for success. Enhanced graphics, VR/AR integration, and metaverse development will all help create more immersive experiences, pushing the boundaries of game design. Web3 gaming represents more than a technological upgrade; it fundamentally changes the relationship between players and games. While challenges like scalability and user adoption remain, the core principles of ownership, transparency, and community-driven development offer a compelling vision for the future of interactive entertainment. By blurring the lines between entertainment and active participation in a dynamic digital world, Web3 gaming platforms like PLAYA3ULL GAMES are forever changing the world's most popular pastime.

Building a Web3 gaming platform: the blueprint for success

Web3 development brings a revolutionary shift in the gaming industry, empowering players with ownership, control, and the opportunity for financial reward. In this blog, we examine the core reasons driving this paradigm shift, examining the transition from traditional Web2 models to Web3 gaming platforms like those we are building here at PLAYA3ULL GAMES. We also discuss balancing play-to-earn mechanics and navigating regulatory uncertainty, highlighting the path towards realising this exciting new gaming era's full potential. Game on! Understanding the reasons for Web3 Gaming and PLAYA3ULL GAMES Web3 gaming platforms leverage blockchain technology to empower players. This decentralisation allows players to truly own their in-game items, represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can be used across different games and virtual worlds, helping to foster the concept of interoperability. A key driver for Web3 gaming's rise is the play-to-earn (P2E) model. This innovative approach allows players to generate real-world value through gameplay, transforming gaming from a hobby into a potential source of income. By participating in the game's ecosystem, players can earn cryptocurrencies or NFTs, which can then be traded or sold. Games like NEXUS give out 2.1 million 3ULL coins weekly to the players. Smart Contracts are self-executing agreements written in code that automate in-game processes and lead to enhanced levels of trust and fairness. This transparency fosters a more equitable and engaging gaming environment. While challenges still remain (scalability and user adoption being some of the largest), the potential for Web3 technology to revolutionise the gaming industry is undeniable. Key Features Every Web3 Gaming Platform Needs The potential of Web3 gaming hinges on the delivery of engaging experiences that transcend tokenisation and P2E opportunities. Fun and compelling gameplay will always remain paramount to any committed gamer. Web3 elements should enhance the core experience, focusing on memorable moments and satisfying progression. A sustainable in-game economy is crucial for longevity. Platforms must balance asset creation and consumption while preventing inflation and immediate selling. This isn’t going to be easy. Regular monitoring and adjustment are key, along with ‘sink mechanisms’ that remove assets from circulation. Innovative gameplay mechanics that leverage blockchain technology are essential for Web3 gaming success. Beyond tokenising assets, platforms should explore decentralised world-building, provable randomness for fair systems, and dynamic narratives driven by player actions. Seamless onboarding is also vital for mainstream adoption. Intuitive tutorials, smooth wallet creation, and the abstraction of complex crypto elements are crucial for a positive first-time user experience. As we all know, a thriving community is the backbone of any successful platform. Social features, regular events, clear communication channels, and user feedback systems help foster greater levels of engagement and trust. This is why our Supporta3ULLS Discord community does a great job helping all players with issues or queries. Designing incentive systems for users Effective incentive design is crucial for driving user behaviour within the Web3 gaming platform. At its core, it leverages the principle that rewards and encourages specific actions. Effective incentive systems align user motivations with project goals, helping to foster increased levels of growth and user engagement. It is generally accepted that a well-designed system should incentivise positive contributions and discourage negative actions. The first step in incentive design is the identification of desired behaviours, such as holding tokens, participating in governance, or contributing to platform development. Incentives can then be structured to reward these actions, while penalties can deter undesirable behaviour. Financial rewards, access to exclusive resources, or even recognition can all serve as effective motivators. The overall tokenomics of the Web3 gaming platform, including supply, demand, and value, should also be carefully considered. Creating network effects, such as rewarding early adopters, can further boost user participation. A number of innovative incentive mechanisms currently exist. With new concepts being added everyday, P2E gamers can choose from learn-to-earn, move-to-earn, play-to-own, play-to-earn, rent-to-earn, travel-to-earn, share-to-earn, and wellness-to-earn. As you can see, each mechanism caters to different user motivations, from acquiring knowledge to achieving fitness goals. Ignoring incentives can be detrimental and lead to low user participation, lack of motivation, and potential security risks. Therefore, a balanced approach that combines compelling incentives with a valuable product or service is key to long-term success. Overcoming Challenges in Web3 Game Development Web3 gaming faces a complex set of challenges. Whilst balancing ‘play’ and ‘earn’ remains paramount, games must be engaging and fun and not solely focused on financial rewards. Striking this balance is crucial for long-term player retention. User experience is another major hurdle. Onboarding must be simplified, making wallet connections and account setup. Understanding blockchain mechanics is intuitive for ‘non-crypto’ players. It goes without saying that seamless fiat on/off-ramps are essential for mainstream adoption, allowing players to easily convert traditional currency to cryptocurrency and vice-versa. The shift towards player ownership requires careful design to align incentives between developers and players. This can be achieved through revenue-sharing models, player-owned governance systems, or decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Economic sustainability is also critical, requiring balanced tokenomics, controlled inflation, and mechanisms to maintain asset value. Developers must shift focus from pre-sale NFTs to creating high-quality gameplay experiences. Building and nurturing active communities is also vital for success. This involves fostering open communication, incorporating player feedback, and creating a sense of shared ownership among Web3 gamers. Improved blockchain scalability is also needed to handle increased transaction volumes and ensure smooth gameplay. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has custom-built a blockchain that caters specifically for Web3 video games and the scalability required for success. Enhanced graphics, VR/AR integration, and metaverse development will all help create more immersive experiences, pushing the boundaries of game design. Web3 gaming represents more than a technological upgrade; it fundamentally changes the relationship between players and games. While challenges like scalability and user adoption remain, the core principles of ownership, transparency, and community-driven development offer a compelling vision for the future of interactive entertainment. By blurring the lines between entertainment and active participation in a dynamic digital world, Web3 gaming platforms like PLAYA3ULL GAMES are forever changing the world's most popular pastime.
