Blockchain games are taking off as of late with a burst of them finally finding success. By far the most successful is MegaCryptoPolis.com, a city builder game where each plot of land is its own tradable token. The first few months since launch have been filled with initial land and district sales. Users picking out their land in the hopes that they can develop it and increase the value.

So far, over 2,300 Ether has been spent on the virtual land, an impressive value of over $650,000 USD. With their strong marketing techniques, MCP is gaining around 100 new landowners a month. With their userbase nearing 1,000 players, things still seem to be in the very early stages.

The fast success of MCP is not going unseen, with numerous game developers taking notice and getting in on the trend. We are likely to see more and more million dollar blockchain games sprouting up in the future, potentially snowballing the industry into a major corner of the gaming market. Maybe one day we will see AAA developers like Blizzard, EA, and Riot sporting blockchain based economies.
