In the most recent episode of NFT Steez, Alyssa Exp\u00f3sito and Ray Salmond <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cointelegraph\/status\/1560657798798512130\">spoke<\/a> with Aron Beireschmitt, the CEO of Laguna Games and founder of Crypto Unicorns, about the sustainability of P2E-focused blockchain games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For Beireschmitt, the evolution from a play-to-earn to a play-and-earn model suggests that there is still experimentation and maturation to be seen for these games. \u201cNothing has changed about making games,\u201d says Beireschmitt, but with blockchain <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, crypto natives and gamers are now able to play, own and potentially monetize from these play-and-earning models. The larger question at hand is, is it sustainable? <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_paradigm_and_sentiment_shift_of_P2E_gaming\"><\/span>The paradigm and sentiment shift of P2E gaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regarding the shift in sentiment around P2E and how Crypto Unicorns is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaching it, Beireschmitt said it is \u201ccharting a path to sustainability through the combination of economic farming simulation\u201d along with the real-time \u201cskill-based gaming loops\u201d to attract more users into its ecosystem. These gaming loops not only need to have a semblance of form and function, but also need to be fun and engaging for players, according to Beireschmitt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, he also acknowledged that blockchain based games are not for everyone and Crypto Unicorns target demographic are more in line with those who are crypto native. <\/p>\n<p>According to Beireschmitt, there is a lack of \u201cincentive alignment for free-to-play,\u201d whereby developers maximize on extracting value from the minority of players who spend in free-to-play games. This disparity creates a \u201cmismatch in the paradigm,\u201d whereby Web3 gaming enables players to reach a new level of autonomy and ownership when it comes to in-game items, assets and skill. <\/p>\n<p>For Beireschmitt, this is what makes the play-and-earn model \u201ccompelling,\u201d since players can potentially earn along the way while playing their favorite game. Web3 not only enables players&#8217; provenance and ownership, but with governance models, players and participants are now empowered to take \u201cownership of the direction the game, ecosystem and IP (intellectual property),\u201d said Beireschmitt.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In-game_economies_are_a_work_in_progress\"><\/span>In-game economies are a work in progress\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In-game economies have proven to be a sticking point for most play-and-earn games. When discussing the factors that are necessary for in-game economies to be sustainable in the long-term, Beireschmitt explained that one factor that aids is the dynamic between passive and active players. Passive players are those who invest in active players to progress themselves in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Beireschmitt emphasized that for the dynamic to be sustainable, \u201cskill-based gaming loops\u201d and \u201ctoken sinks\u201d must be implemented because this returns the player back to the economy and ecosystem. As Beireschmitt put it, most play-and-earn games are still sorting their transition from \u201cgrowth phase\u201d to \u201cmaturation phase,\u201d but he does firmly believe there are \u201cbright futures in the days ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on the discussion with Aron Biereschmitt,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/spaces\/1OwGWzzyVYjKQ\">listen<\/a> to the full episode of NFT Steez.
