Universe Island: A Metaverse NFT Shooter Game

 Over the past few years, Gaming  has become one of the fastest and most popular industries in the world compared to the days of playing console games. It  is one of the few that has overcome  regulatory odds to establish its presence. 

Today, research shows that there are almost 2.9 billion video game players around the world. 

In 2020, online gaming got serious attention as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic where many people were under lockdown  and could not get to work.

As a result of the lockdown, people began to take solace in keeping themselves busy through gaming. Idleness can cause depression, you know?

Gaming Innovation

It is safe to say the global pandemic contributed to the gaming popularity. As a result of this popularity, different innovations from the blockchain technology began to spring forth, introducing the Play-to-Earn games, making it a focus point to the masses and pushing the gaming industry to its mass adoption.

Play-To-Earn (P2E) is the word used to qualify the type of video game that allows players to earn digital assets by just simply playing the game you love and earn a reward for playing it. How amazing can that be? You do not pay to play games but get paid.

P2E has become the most popular and exciting part of the crypto world today with its rare gaming model. It has massively empowered a lot of people with passion for games. Imagine just at the comfort of your house and getting paid for playing your favourite video game.

In 2020, gamers spent approximately $54 billion purchasing in-game content. However, the old model of in-game purchases being the equivalent of simple record amendments on the internal game databases hosted on game servers gave gamers no ‘proof’ or ‘claim’ of proprietary rights over their in-game purchases.

Over the past decade, the blockchain innovation  and growth of Bitcoin have paved the way for the fast-growing blockchain gaming sector. Video gaming industry has evolved across several dimensions and has uniquely transformed the user experience.
