Most of my favorite video games all have their own in-game currency. I play on a PS5 and have a large library of games to choose from. Currently I’m able to earn the currency to purchase items to use in the game. Eventually I hope to be able to earn currency by playing and then purchase things that upgrade my gaming experience.
Items such as as:
Controllers, headsets, new monitors, or even games/gift cards.
I think of the book/film Ready Player One, how the gamers were able to purchase new armor for their characters... in turn, they’d also get a shipment in the mail with an upgraded haptic vest in real life.
We already see pre-teens becoming professional e-sports players. I look forward to the day where gamers around the world can earn an income from gaming without having to rely on sponsors.
I know I’ve been honing my gaming skills for 20+ years. By the time crypto gaming has fully blossomed, I think my skills will be mastered and hopefully that’ll pay off.
It truly is an amazing thing to watch. We are looking at the establishment of an entirely new industry. This is going to give those younger people a lot more options going forward.
I will not be surprised if a large percentage, say 30%, make a living from gaming.
