An exclusive survey, that was commissioned by Coda Labs (a blockchain-based entertainment platform), asserts that – notwithstanding the enormous amount of funds being spent on Web3 gaming – the conventional game players are even now reluctant about getting into the Web3-based games due to a lack of interest.

A Survey Says Web3 Gaming Has Yet to Effort a Lot for Mainstream Adoption

As per the survey, practical barriers were pointed out by gamers as the chief reason for decreasing interest in Web3 games. The gamers often do not know how to operate in a Web3 setting or else do not possess a blockchain-based wallet.

According to the survey, just twelve percent of the conventional gamers have attempted to utilize Web3 games, whereas only fifteen percent among them were those who are interested but have not yet tried this.

These players expressed that they would use the games based on the respective technology in the coming days. As noted in the survey, the play-to-earn (P2E) mechanism of gaming linked to Web3 games as well as the crypto earnings were referred to by the survey as the prominently recognized advantage of playing such games.

Though the respective two features are the most frequently mentioned, the findings of the survey point out the same thing that is mentioned by several industry players. As per the survey, most of the gamers intend to play a fun game instead of playing something related to tokenomics – which is a part of several Web3 games.

As suggested by the survey data, those by whom the Web3-based games had been already played, became positive about them finally.

NFT and P2E Features of Web3 Games Potentially Hinder Its Wide-Ranging Adoption

The conventional gamers gave the Web3 games a 7.1 rating out of a total of 10 ranking points while 8.3 was the ranking given by the gamers who actively participate in the crypto world.

Kevin Shao, the Asia Blockchain Gaming Alliance’s (ABGA) executive president recently recommended that attention given to the NFT and P2E features of blockchain-based games are possibly creating a hindrance in the GameFi sector’s mainstream adoption.

In the words of Shao, Big Time, Phantom Galaxies, and other such projects’ launches can assist in changing the perspective of gamers regarding the Web3 games in the case of P2E aspects along with onboarding people pursuing to play the games just for fun without the indulgence of anything else.
