Tim Morten, the cofounder of Frost Giant Games, is not entirely dismissive of blockchain’s future in gaming—but he thinks there could be a few problems.
NFTs promise players a chance to own and trade trophies, badges, and other signs of achievement, but Morten is unsure players would be as eager to trade such accomplishments. “I currently think the value of that is in-game,” says Morten. “Maybe, someday, we can have our friends over to our virtual metaverse trophy room. But that day is not today.” Owning a tradable NFT of a tournament trophy strikes him as especially odd, since trophies are meant to be proof of a player’s achievement.
“The benefit is just the simplicity of the payout,” says Morten. “If we want to make a cash payment, there are regional tax laws we have to think about, and so on.” Morten thinks cryptocurrency could be especially useful for smaller tournaments. In concept, players might contribute to a prize pool with cryptocurrency and be paid out in the same.
Morten is clear: Frost Giant Games will not be using the blockchain in its upcoming, untitled real-time strategy game. But if not the blockchain, what will a next-gen esports experience offer? Yet the connection between a game’s ranking system and its esports scene is usually thin. The ecosystem of tournaments, teams, and sponsors that grow around a successful competitive game exists outside the game itself.added an automated tournament system with its last expansion,has a similar system called Clash. But these function more as a training ground for players looking to grow their skills and as an easy way for amateur players to gain tournament experience.
