Polygon’s VP of Global Business Development for gaming Urvit Goel believes games that integrate jetoane nefungibile (NFT) au un avantaj natural față de jocurile tradiționale care nu permit utilizatorilor să-și vândă articolele din joc.
Goel spoke candidly with Cointelegraph in Seoul last week about Polygon’s (MATIC) push toward helping NFT games proliferate and why game publishers in South Korea like Neowiz and Nexon are diving headfirst into the space.
One of the main arguments Goel made is that the traditional business model that NFT games are competing against may be inherently weaker. In traditional gaming, users typically buy in-game items with real money, but they cannot sell those items to get back any dollar value.
However, with most games in the gaming finance (GameFi) space, users can buy items as nonfungible tokens and sell them on when they are done playing the game. Goel referred to the traditional model as “money in, no money out,” and emphasized that gamers should be able to take back at least some of the dollar value they put into a game.
“We just want to give users the ability to own the content they’re buying. And if they choose to sell it, great if they choose to keep it, great […] But even if you get a penny back out, it’s better than nothing, right?”
Goel a spus că a perceput semnale clare că editorii de jocuri tradiționale se pregătesc pentru impulsuri mari în GameFi, începând cu gigantul de jocuri din Coreea de Sud Nexon, care deține titlul MapleStory. În iunie, a anunțat că va pune în lanț o versiune a titlului său emblematic MapleStory N conform la mmorpg, un mijloc de presă de știri despre jocuri.
Polygon a încheiat, de asemenea, un parteneriat cu Neowiz din Coreea de Sud pentru a pune în lanț titluri noi și existente.
He noted that the entrance of such large companies is creating “a little bit of a domino effect” in the industry in order to “show that they’re still innovative.” Goel hinted that the bosses of the big firms entering the blockchain space must have a great deal of confidence in the technology or they wouldn’t dress up their top-tier titles for GameFi.
„Acești dezvoltatori nu trebuie să vină pe blockchain pentru a avea afaceri de succes. Ei generează deja sute de milioane, dacă nu miliarde de dolari de venituri în echipă web tradițională.”
Goel’s notions about gaming and blockchain are in line with ROK Capital’s Anthony Yoon who told Cointelegraph that GameFi and crypto are a “natural fit” for publishers.
Part of Goel’s confidence in the bright future for NFT gaming and GameFi comes from the buzz within the communities. Although he said he did not have hard data to support his opinion, he believes that many people within large communities that have “millions of followers” are excited about the new game products being brought to their channels.
„Deci, pentru mine, aceste date vorbesc mult mai tare decât un articol scris de un jurnalist despre de ce „X” NFT-uri vor fi bune.”
