In his opinion by shifting away from the “present challenge lineage,” builders might begin taking cues from the mainstream gaming business and incorporate options for individuals who wish to play “for enjoyable,” fairly than for revenue.
Throughout a presentation at a convention in Singapore, Shao highlighted three upcoming AAA titles he believes are shaping as much as have the modifications the GameFi business wants — Illuvium, Phantom Galaxies, and Huge Time.

Based on Shao, we are going to almost certainly see the end result “perhaps this yr or subsequent yr.”
