Why blockchain gaming is important
In the broadest sense blockchain games are games that utilize blockchain technology. With this blockchain technology gamers are being empowered. It for example allows them to have full ownership over digital assets, and in some cases gamers even govern the entire game. However, there are many degrees of blockchain games.
In essence blockchain games give players ownership over certain aspects of the game. This can be complete governance or item ownership. This mechanic works thanks to non-fungible tokens and blockchain technology.
These mechanics free to consumer from the shackles of big media entities. Gamers used to be consumers, and nowadays they are cashcows for digital products. Players have no ownership, but merely license the rights to use a game. Blockchain gaming puts more power into the hands of gamers, and that’s something that’s very needed.
