Metaverse games are fighting a "decay"

Much has already been discussed about the possibilities of the future. However, last year, the discussion about the Metaverse and the future of humanity was massive, including the controversies of the NFTs. Although many people are extremely excited, imagining a world mirrored in the famous movie “The number 1 player”, it seems that, in general, the people are not effectively prepared to dive headlong into this universe and this premise can be observed through the games created for the Metaverse.

According to the Cons Desk survey, metaverse games are fighting a “decadence”, as players are not fully engaged. In light of this, a Blockchain gaming analyst reported that “there is currently no organic engagement to retain players on the game, unlike traditional games like Fortnite, GTA and Candy Crush, where players feel motivated to keep playing.”

In agreement with the Coin Desk, this abrupt drop in the number of daily players in a title linked to the Metaverse cannot be real. It turns out that, although part of these users are gamers, the other part may be “employees of guilds playing games to attract the attention of investors”. One of the main points made by players is that by linking NFTs to games, this dynamic results in a “pay to win”, whoever has money will always win.

According to a report published by research firm Messari, Mason Nystrom said that, “First, the ability to buy NFTs or coins from a game effectively creates a pay-to-win mechanic, a quality that most successful franchises and games lack. avoid”.
