Creating a compelling game is considered a greater challenge than simply developing an on-chain game [00:00:02]. The primary bottleneck for gaming remains the creation of a good game [00:00:06].
Prioritizing Game Development
It is often suggested that a good game should be developed first, before asset tracking or other on-chain components are added [00:00:11]. For instance, the integration of NFTs with a platform like Roblox would make sense because Roblox was established as a game first [00:00:20]. The main obstacle for gaming is to first create a fun game and then consider putting its components on-chain [00:00:26].
Existing Trading Behaviors and Security Concerns
Even without blockchain integration, gamers have historically engaged in asset trading:
- Gamers trade CS:GO skins [00:00:39].
- The RuneScape gray market for gold has existed for over 15 years [00:00:42].
However, these traditional methods of trading come with significant security issues [00:00:48]. Users frequently become victims of scams, often resorting to insecure methods like wire transferring money to anonymous individuals [00:00:50]. Such practices are considerably less secure than using crypto for transactions [00:00:55].
