There’s no doubt that the online gaming industry is continuing to grow in the past few years. This growth is being fired by the advances in blockchain technology, leading to the inception of the “play-and-earn” concept.

Back then, enthusiastic gamers were willing to spend hundreds of dollars just to buy upgrades in their favorite games. Today, gamers have the chance to profit from all the resources they’ve spent in-game. This is made possible by the emergence of blockchain-based play-to-earn (P2E) games.

From play-to-earn to play-and-earn

P2E games are set to change the rules of gaming by offering an equal playing field for their players through ownership and earning mechanisms. As P2E games are making their way into the gaming industry, many titles are being developed in various genres.

Now, the purpose of P2E games is no longer limited to letting its players earn alone. It is now in the works of letting the players enjoy the gameplay with the bonus of having crypto rewards. This paved the way for new and upcoming P2E games to adapt the “play-and-earn” concept.

Why should gamers look forward to play-and-earn?

Play-to-earn is different from play-and-earn in terms of game experience. With the play-to-earn concept, people are more likely to play the game only because they can earn from it.

On the other hand, play-and-earn allows gamers to enjoy the storyline, explore the Metaverse and master the gameplay just like how they would do with their favorite traditional games. However, compared to traditional video games, players can earn handsome rewards from crypto games.

The play-and-earn concept can change the way people play games. Of course, this will best serve the players, so they should take advantage of the beginning phase. Grasping the whole idea of play-and-earn in these early stages will allow gamers to learn its ins and outs while riding along with the developments.

Can play-and-earn be the next big thing for gamers?

Being able to play and earn is a dream for avid gamers. Luckily, there are a lot of gaming opportunities for aspiring players who are looking forward to delving into blockchain gaming. A plethora of new and upcoming P2E games are waiting for them.

However, starting a crypto gaming journey is not as easy as downloading and playing a game. Just like in traditional gaming, people still have to spend resources to be able to play their favorite game. But the big difference is that gamers will be able to get their money back through P2E games. That is as long as they know how to play the game and manage their in-game assets properly.

To start playing most P2E games, players need to buy the required NFTs to start the game. For instance, in Axie Infinity, gamers need to purchase and assemble a team of at least three decent Axies to play and win crypto tokens in the game.

There’s a solution for those who don’t have the means of spending money to start their P2E journey. Crypto gaming guilds, like what Play It Forward DAO offers, allow players to play and earn at no initial cost.
