RE: Week through Adrian's Lenses (18-24 May 2024)
Yep, we'll have to agree to disagree. 😀
Tell me a game that has lasted for many years (not updated to version 2, 3, 4, etc. after the previous one became unplayable) by banning bots. Other than chess and go, I mean. Actually, there may be something to learn from them. People still play them because they enjoy the games and play when they want as much as they want, and as far as I know without rewards too.
Web 3 games can't be like that precisely because of the rewards with a monetary value. But they have their place... or not.
I don't really play games that require a lot of time involvement anymore, but from a post I've seen yesterday from bitcoinflood, it looks like whatever is happening now in Web 3 gaming doesn't keep or bring new players. And from what I've heard, other games in the space have strict no-bot policies. So, that's not the reason, I believe.
Seriously? Riot games [League of Legends, Valorant, Legends of Runeterra], and Dota are easy answers. I think most games with monetary value or has competitive aspects ban bots. The better question is, can YOU tell me a game that lasted for many years that has openly accepted bots? Where the bots can play against humans for monetary rewards or fame. Because like I said, I only know of Splinterlands.
I know you've been in the crypto scene for longer, but I can't believe you are saying this. Web3 games are even more protective against bots because there is monetary value. A lot of games have experienced loss of funds and rugpulls because of bot farms extracting massive amounts of rewards and doing a pump and dump. Answering the prompt above, but this time for Web3, Axie comes to mind, Gods Unchained, Rising Star, there are tons more. Again, can you give me a Web3 game other than Splinterlands that openly accept bots?
Honestly, Web3 games are so far behind in quality to regular games that are coming out. No one will be joining because of the graphics, story, or the fun. There is a Web2 game out there that does it better. The only reason we had a boom in players back in 2021 was because the earnings were insanely high. Right now, game tokens haven't really risen much. If the game tokens increase in value this bull run, then expect players to come back in droves to those games.
