FX.co ★ Blockchain in gaming industry: prospects for use

Now gamers play according to predetermined rules. Today large companies completely control ecosystems in their own games. In particular, they can apply a new patch, manually change prices for goods or ban someone. Blockchain theoretically allows to create a decentralized system in which exchange rates will become absolutely free, and you will not have to pay extra interest. In addition, the information can not be deleted or changed simply since it is copied many times in the blockchain.

Blockchain is the best way to keep anonymity because tracing a chain is too difficult and gathering data en masse is very expensive. If in general the game ecosystem is beyond the control of the developer, then third parties will not have access to your personal information at all.

Based on the new technology, an alternative to large trading platforms such as Steam can be created. Thanks to this, the market will become more free with fewer costs and interest payments. As a result, games may become cheaper. In addition, small developers will not need to undergo a selection procedure. It will be easier for them to prove themselves.

The blockсhain can combine game and real currencies. The game economy can be fully based on bitcoin or altcoins. Your success in the game can lead to the generation of cryptonyms, which you can then enter into the gameplay and purchase, for example, a new helmet, or use them in real life.

In the future, the blockchain can solve the problem of cross-platform game. In case the whole game code is open and the development begins on the "Wikipedia" principle, in the future we can witness the elimination of platform limitations and there will be no need to optimize games for different game consoles.
