Unlocking the Potential of Blockchain Gaming for Social Good with Digital Entertainment Asset

Blockchain gaming is a rapidly growing industry with the potential to create positive social impact by gamifying real-world problems. The gamification concept can motivate people to engage in positive behaviors and make changes that benefit the wider community. In this article, we will recap our conversation with BGA gold member Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA), delving into ways blockchain gaming can solve real-world problems and the future of Web3 gaming.

DEA is a web3 entertainment company that aims to use its exciting game platform PlayMining to promote fair digital asset ownership and inspire players to positively impact their communities. DEA is backed by large corporations like Rakuten and TV Tokyo, and is to accelerate and expand operations and optimize the development of PlayMining.

With a unique blend of play&earn gaming and social impact initiatives, DEA is fostering a new way to play, enjoy and earn, capitalizing on the positive impact of the initial phase of web3 gaming. Tatsuya Kohrogi, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Business at DEA, joined the BGA to explain how blockchain gaming can solve real-world issues by gamifying social good.

Blockchain gaming as a solution to real-world problems

“Web3 gaming has the opportunity to change what we know as gaming. There are many real-world problems to be solved, and entertainment and gamification using web3 tech is an interesting space for organizations.”

DEA sees token incentives combined with gamification as a strong motivator for human behavior change. This has been seen with the success of move-to-earn games such as StepN and Sweatcoin, which have demonstrated this concept, incentivizing people to exercise more frequently by offering rewards. Using the same concept with play&earn, DEA believes that blockchain games have the potential to motivate users to engage in positive behavior beyond physical activity through the play&earn model.

Play&earn elements are unique to Web3 and have the potential to engage users to spend time playing games and feel rewarded for their time. With web3 gaming, it is possible to play games that can lead to charitable acts in the real world.

DEA’s PlayMining platform
DEA operates Playmining; its core activity is creating web3 games that are play&earn centric with their cryptocurrency DEAPcoin ($DEP). With an expanding catalogue of play&earn games, the platform sees over 2.7 million users. The platform comprises four pillars:

• Cryptocurrency (DEAPcoin)
• PlayMining NFT Marketplace
• NFT games
• Metaverse (PlayMining Verse)

DEA’s games are co-created with famous anime and manga artists, featuring unique NFTs, which are game characters that can be collected and traded. The games are designed to inspire players to make a positive difference in their communities. DEA’s first-party titles include:

• JobTribes (a trading card battle game)
• Cooking Burger (a multi-task cooking action game)
• Graffiti Racer (a coloring and racing game)
• Lucky Farmer (a coin pusher farming game)
• Football PlaysiaTV (watch&earn on this football content platform)
• DEA also has a third-party title called Dragon Ramen, a dungeon quest and ramen shop management game

The Future of Web3 Gaming
DEA’s CSO, Tatsuya Kohrogi, considers that games that are more accessible and easy to learn and play will be a big genre for the adoption of Web3 gaming. DEA has strategically created different genres of casual games on its platform to cater to various player preferences. The platform is not dependent on one game title or genre, taking a multifaceted approach to engage players across gaming types of games.

Web3 gaming focuses on play&earn, where investors want to make a quick buck, creating a lot of negative press around this model. However, DEA believes that it’s a significant element still alive and present in Web3 gaming and has the potential to revolutionize charity and social impact through gamification. DEA’s CSO, Tatsuya Kohrogi, commented further:

“More big players are coming into the space, enriching the space…I would like to see more conversation around ‘why web3’. Everyone is talking about creating a fun game experience, which is a must — at the same time, what can we do with the on-chain elements, digital asset ownership, what can we do to solve real-life problems? Many people think or grew up being told gaming is a waste of time and money. Web3 can change this by bridging the gap and disconnect between entertainment and helping others. DEA’s vision is to revolutionize the way people live and play in the future — We think that blockchain is the key to do that and we would like to work with other projects to do more social good through entertainment.”

Blockchain gaming is a promising and exciting sector that can incentivize positive behavior change and solve real-world problems through gamification. DEA’s PlayMining platform demonstrates how blockchain gaming can create unique and engaging experiences that inspire players to make a positive difference in their communities.

The future of Web3 gaming is expected to become more accessible, with different genres of casual games catering to specific preferences. The play&earn concept will continue to be a large element in Web3 gaming, and charity can be revolutionized through gamification. Utilizing the play&earn model and integrating the social aspect to bridge the digital world to our real world will be the de facto standard in the future.
