So, I stumbled upon some info online yesterday. For ages, I've dreamed about this, and it's like it's finally happening. I’ve spent countless hours on my Xbox, and I always thought how cool it would be to get paid for gaming. I’ve talked about this before and a lot of folks said it was impossible, but now it feels like it's actually becoming a thing.

Big gaming companies have different views on P2E and I think that's normal. It's nice of Ubisoft for taking that leap and it could be a matter of time before other platforms such as Steam change their mind. EA still cautious about the hype of NFTs but they also said it will play an important part on the future of gaming (article) You also got Facebook rebranding to Metaverse and I won't be surprised if they use Diem for their blockchain based P2E games.

Good to see some well known game developer will finally consider a play to earn model on there upcoming game. Typical game developer usually take 100% of the profit of there game to there wallet. With this new scheme model they will let there user to play more since they will earn on it unlike the old school which player abandon the game once they finish it and move on to a newer game. This time, Player achievement and perseverance will be paid off. Actually there are number of mobile game developer are adapting a Play to Earn model on there new games and most them are being acquired by Kardiachain Blockchain. You can check more details on new NFT play to earn game on Kardiachain here: https://blog.kardiachain.io/en/the-rise-of-gamefi-trend-and-kardiachains-unique-mass-adoption-strategy/

Congratulations, maybe you are a successful person whose dreams come true. You don't waste hours playing games. NFT game players will collect in-game assets or prizes which can later be converted into real cash. I think you really enjoy it. Congratulations, man.

Technically you can already earn money while gaming for quite some time now. Selling items or accounts or earning money with twitch streaming is a thing for some years already   Also many pay-to-win games lets you grind hours to earn otherwise paid in-game currency. What now will happen is the logical next step to make in-game items better tradeable against crypto/NFTs or fiat currency. I still remember when Blizzard tried that in their Diablo 3 auction house. The failed back then, let's see if game comapnies learned sth in the last 10 years

There are too many NFT games that you can earn while playing. Axie Infinity is one of it but you're required to have your own team so upon building your own, you're required to buy their Axie NFTs. And the good thing about it, Ubisoft is also one of the partners of Axie Infinity.

These are some of the reasons why NFT is still booming, as we all know Axie Infinity started it as Axie Infinity got the highest revenue for NFT on the blockchain. These huge companies are starting to join and that's I can consider NFT will stay just like DeFi before. So, for me, this is still beginning, even we will be in bear market, innovation and projects on NFT will still keep coming.

I'm a hardcore gamer and I can say that this isn't enough, comparing the likes of diablo, counter strike, the surge, halo and many others it can't be compared to axie infinity, axie infinity is true play to earn it's what gaming should have been all about from the beginning, in the past gaming is like time wasting but today it's not anymore.

I believe it's more fun and alluring for players when they can play and earn from it, thus I believe this is a great publicity not just for Ubisoft, but it's also another sort of hype for NFT's, and it's good for both the company/project, it's a win situation for both parties, I believe with this sort of news, the NFT hype will continue and more people will be interested in it in one way or another.

The gaming while making money is the new kind of investment. Many gamers now see that as a means of staking as investment. They do P2P gambling in video games on best player and winners. Apart from that, there are other aspects of staking and gambling they do including streaming, podcast on YouTube for money. There can be tournaments organised by gamers too , they bet out money on it for some is an investment just with gambling.

You didn't even wait for ubisoft to release play to earn game coz there are several games that let you to earn some money everyday by grinding in the game. AXIE infinity, Vulcanverse, Wild wilder and more games already in development. So many people have been grinding various gaming token like SLP, LAVA, and many more. Our dream was coming true but remember that if it will not become a free to play. There must be NFT required to play the games to make the game can sustain for long term. AXIE needs axie to play the game but the price for the axie floor has been dropping a lot to the bottom and it doesn't require a lot of money to play it right now but with so many limitation. I have also owned so many lands right not as preparation to open my scholarship.

Right now, there are many ways to earn money while playing games. Examples are joining in the pro scene which is we know a hard journey, live streaming is also one and this is easier than the first but it will take time. Nobody expected that P2E games will emerge and right now it is the trend. The hype that has been there for quite some time already although the hype decreased, there are still new blockchain P2E games that are being created. Maybe we played Axie Infinity here or Splinterlands or MyDefi Pet here and because of this NFT games, I literally quitted all the games that I'm playing that isn't NFT related. I like to be efficient while having fun that is why I'm more focusing on NFT games right now. Its a good thing that companies like Ubisoft and EA are considering to enter the NFT game space.

you are right. Currently, there are quite a number of NFT games that provide income when we play them, and one of them is Axie Infinity. however, if Ubisoft participates in this, then there is a possibility that the next level of this NFT game will have better graphics and may even be more comfortable to play. however, I'm waiting for news like this.

Yes. I'm waiting for that. Actually, there's another game that has a good graphics already and one of them is Mir4. But I don't play that game and that's time consuming. Unlike with Axie, I hope that Ubisoft creates almost the same gameplay but with a better graphics.

So far I've only bought Axie Infinity in the market and have never brought it for gaming, because I prefer to take advantage of trading profits and also take advantage of good moments on Axie Infinity, and if Ubisoft has almost the same hype as Axie Infinity, then I will also make monitoring on him from now on.

Well, maybe I am just to old, but gaming is by definition a "waste of time". It is not supposed to be productive, otherwise it wouldn't be gaming but something else, something closer to an actual job probably... (I suppose in real-world sports there is the fitness and training aspect, but this hardly can be said of computer games) Sure, modern games have the competitive scene around them, which in the end is the reason why people pay for items or experience points which in the end is just "converted" gaming time.

I see. You've bought their governance token the AXS and it's also a requirement for breeding. It's actually fine if you don't play the game and you're just buying it for the sake of trading and profits. Maybe you'll have the time to play and enjoy the game if you happen to change your mind.

This is huge news for the crypto community. I can't believe that Ubisoft is getting behind NFTs as well. Exciting times.

Well, cheers to all the skeptics  Temps get if anything, lower, while mining+gaming. Obviously it depends on each game, but you can figure out each configuration for each game and have it saved on a notepad and just apply changes as you switch tasks. Kinda stating the obvious here.

The company Ubisoft is one of the most popular game developers in the gaming world since then. If I'm not mistaken they also dominates the mobile games before and released several time-killing and fun games. But in general, if you will just explore OP, there are lots of games related to blockchain that will give you good profits while playing. It's hype today and almost everyone is involved even those who are not gamers. If you want more information, hit that Google search bar and try to research some popular and famous Blockchain games today.
