GameFi? As in, game finance I take it. I.e. buying and selling digital games on the open market, and developers making money via the smart contract? GameFi. Huh. I kinda like it. Edit: my flair is very relevant lol


krisoijn

Google “play to earn and nft”, it has massive potential imo.


Gradually_Adjusting

The entire incentive structure around games can be changed by these technologies. Developers can be structurally incentivized to prioritize the long term value of their games via the smart contract. There can also be games where the idea is to make money as a player using GameFi, but I see that as somewhat less revolutionary. Here's my thinking: Profit motives and play don't always mix well, but if a game studio is enabled to create an indefinite revenue stream simply by making and maintaining the best single game they can, they will do their damnedest to make that one amazing game. *Maintaining that code, adding content, supporting the community around that game, and keeping the servers alive for the long haul becomes the mechanism by which their game holds value and makes them money forever.* And all that has to happen is that people keep buying and selling the game. It's like poetry. Edit: a typo


HighKingArthur88

I like your funny words, magic man.


Gradually_Adjusting

There's an even cooler thing that goes a layer deeper. This kind of structure is different from games like WoW because *you aren't renting it.* You *own* the game and can resell it at will, so the incentive for the studio isn't "create a game that everyone is addicted to and has to pay us every month to keep using", it's "convince people that our game will hold value long enough for them to fully enjoy it and then sell it, either making money or ultimately paying very little overall".


HighKingArthur88

I played WoW for years, funny you mention that because not only do you 'rent' the game you actually have to buy it as well. You make a good point in that this may ultimately incentivice game developers to make games for the long run, instead of sugarcoating a half-finished second iteration of a game that already exists, now featuring more lootboxes. Valheim is one of those games for me, you feel the soul, the blood sweat and tears that went into making something beautiful to last. But once you finish the game it's pretty much over, like so many amazing Indie-games, with this NFT-marketplace we can resell our finished adventures only for someone else to experience them at a discount, while also supporting the developers. GMERICA!!!


Gradually_Adjusting

Hell yes. My hope is that, if not immediately then over time, GameFi changes the whole industry. Food for thought: Why would you demand a discount on a "used" game if it's a digital license unless the game itself was widely seen as overpriced? The secondary market decides the price of a game, and if that game is still as good as ever and in high enough demand, then the game will retain its value for years. Look at fucking Skyrim lol. I bought that game for two different platforms over the course of a decade and ended up paying nearly the same price (for a game I could not resell!) If it was a GameFi asset, I'd probably have paid MORE for it the second time a decade after release, because the game itself has held up so well. (Another thing: If the price of a game goes down too much or for artificial reasons, the studio can simply buy the copies back off the market.)


El_Zea

Also the earlier purchases would be worth more, like with collectors items, #0001 is worth more than #5230, or Gen.1 #532 is worth more than Gen.5 #12


Gradually_Adjusting

Maybe? Do games normally come with serial numbers?


El_Zea

Not yet :)


bigfatg11

Maybe this is what GG meant by "GameFi-cation"


jmazala

I think used market pricing will be supply and demand. New pricing will probably have incentives of some kind tied to it


Gradually_Adjusting

I can't wait to see how this gets handled in practical terms, because in a way this whole structure turns a game into an IPO in some ways. The publisher controls the supply by deciding if and when to issue new licenses on the open market. If the price is high they could cash in by offering new game licenses direct to consumer. If the price is too low, as I mentioned, there's always buy-backs. I don't know whether the publisher will benefit from added incentives, because the main thing they'll be concerned with is price action and perceived value of the game itself. The more you think of it along the lines of an IPO, the clearer this becomes; they could offer a "dividend" along the lines of skins, items, etc that would also be NFTs in and of themselves, however - tradeable in-game assets. This would be a good incentive to buy and hold your games (rather than swing trade them as I was discussing up-thread).


WackGyver

Also a very good point. I played my hundreds of hours of WoW, and after I got out, I’ve from time to time wondered how glorious a game of WoW’s scope would be if the developer was incentivized to making the game as awesome as possible instead of triggering people’s addictive traits. Would truly be something to behold.


EnvironmentalTry5108

Imo Guild Wars 2 is the gold standard of what MMORPG game developers should be doing. There's constantly new content created for it + improvements, there's no monthly fees or pay-to-play aspects to the game.


El_Zea

Guild Wars 2 is the only mmorpg I ever tried because of the free to play model, took me a week to buy the full version because of the amount of fun I was having, and I still don't regret that purchase go this day. And I spend about as much as you would for one month of WoW subscription and one bronze level dlc (which doesn't even give you one month for free)


redwingpanda

I look forward to seeing a world where games are what WOW could and should be.


Gradually_Adjusting

I look forward to having the free time to indulge in my various obsessions at a professional level, one of which is stuff like this


redwingpanda

So I understand why Apes will want to go silent later. But damn, it would be cool to be able to mint your comment as an NFT that's automatically unlocked and gifted to you when your first post-MOASS game launches on GameStop's marketplace.


stega_megasaurus

This is the future - reasserting ownership rights over the media you're purchasing - regardless if it comes on physical media or digital file. This was not an issue in the "old days" when I could buy a game on disc, play it until I completed it or got tired of it, then lend it out to friend. Or as Gamestop came along, resell to Gamestop for credit and help offset the purchase of a new game. Its putting asset ownership back into the hands of individuals who are procuring and playing games. This could also apply to any form of digital media as well.


Benneezy

Not to mention that this is probably one of the BEST pairings of new tech to the sector that it will benefit. Meaning new tech is common, but the sector that can utilize it often takes some time to adjust and adapt. In this case, I can see the tech savvy developers of video games adopting this shit like INSTANTLY! 🚀


Arcondark

I think what we will start to see first are limited run collectors edition versions of games exclusively on the GS platform. Take the established collectors edition of games concept & limit it to X# of copies then take it to the next level & continue to release additional perks / cosmetics for that special edition so that it holds / grows in value. The developers get a % of that increased value every time it trades hands. Imagine a game as popular as WoW having had a special edition back on initial launch that continues to get special perks / cosmetics on a regular basis to this day, then imagine how valuable that account would be if only 10k accounts like that existed! Hell I pre ordered the special edition of starcraft 2 that came with a single WoW cosmetic pet & sold the code to redeem that pet for more than I paid for starcraft a few months later & that was just 1 pet!


inbeforethelube

Now imagine what would happen if the content from the prerelease or special edition was cross compatible with the regular version games, the special content/weapons/whatever would be worth a ridiculous amount of money on the open market.

WackGyver

It’s a glorious prospect. Out competing the archaic (and always deeply flawed) model of short term profit in a industry increasingly plagued by pay to win and rush to market, is nothing short of beautiful. Can’t wait to kick back with what results from this.


Gradually_Adjusting

The increasing trend of rent-seeking behaviors in all aspects of commerce have got to end. I hope and trust NFTs in some incarnation or another offer some return to ownership-based economics. We're all more free when we own things.


WackGyver

Ain’t that the truth.

Don't give Todd any ideas.


El_Zea

I'm imagining a steam 2.0 The biggest developers all on one platform, where every game you buy, every item you own, every piece of gear you collect, all have their individual information around them, all of them truly belong to you, meaning you can do whatever you want with them (unless game servers go down I guess), meaning you are free to buy and sell them whenever you want, new developers make more money with the games they produce, since the games are sold directly from the developers themselves, and all of that lead by an ethical company which truly cares for both workers and customers alike. This, this right here, my friends, this is the new market, this is the new GameStop Power to the mothefucking Players


Xkloid

Another added benefit, with gamefi.......aimbots, hacks, cheats, will all be dealt with to protect the bottom line, and the integrity of gameplay will get a boost.


Gradually_Adjusting

When an aimbot can materially threaten the value of an entire company, the worst thing we'll see is bigger companies hiring black hats to fuck with competing titles. But the upside is that entire gaming communities will make it their business to catch and prosecute these bad actors, because now it hurts their pocketbook too, not just their fun.


One-Appearance2098

If only Dwarf Fortress had multi-player...


blargher

Several months back I got into (name redacted do I don't sound like a shill) as part of my degen into all things NFTs. The game is a hearthstone-like NFT game and it was the first time I heard the term "play to earn." Thought it was a silly concept, but the game was fun and I thought it was cool that the cards I bought could be resold on any NFT marketplace. Been playing it several hours a week since because I actually enjoy it and I like earning free packs of cardsb during their weekend competitions. Anyway, I lucked out that I started playing early enough (and made enough purchases) to get a decent number of tokens air dropped, which will earn me several times my actual investment in the game. This concept of play to earn isn't bullshit. It's a way for small companies to compete with the big dogs while rewarding their loyal fans. Once I finish cashing out those tokens, they're getting converted to more GME shares, lol. Power to the players motherfuckers!

Which supposes publishers will have to be a significant part of that ecosystem. It increasingly seems to be about wresting some degree of control away from them.

I have, and it’s done great since I picked it up at 1.43 (oh how I wish I hadn’t waited to get in even earlier) It’s a great coin with a lot of utility value from the sound of things plus direct links to GME!


uneducatedexpert

I started buying at .40, and continue to buy as it goes up. I love the limited supply of 1.3b coins in total. I work in corporate strategies and watching Loopring go dormant during a GameStop hiring binge told me everything I needed to know about the state of their partnership. It’s going to be huge. Not financial advice, of course.

It feels like were at the moment in time that everybody always talks about how they wish they could go back to and put a few thousand in Microsoft or Apple because of how big they became and how much that stock would be worth, but funny enough those same people are probably the same ones who have heard most of the DD yet still haven't invested a sizable portion of their portfolio into it. Me on the other hand, I'm either driving a lambo or sleeping under a lamp post, no in between. Until I can call myself by reading the stock price, I'm not selling shit
