Which NFT Games are Right For You? Four Things to Consider
Some gamers find NFT games really exciting while others are strongly opposed. Which NFT games are right for you? Here are four things to consider:
- Is the game play-to-earn (P2E)? Some NFT games promise that you can earn real-world money by playing. However, in most cases, this involves purchasing a proprietary token (a type of cryptocurrency) whose value can change both quickly and drastically. Instead, you may want to start with an NFT game that is not P2E.?
- How easy is the game to start and how much does it cost? Different NFT games have different qualifiers to begin. For instance, some games may require you to buy a number of NFTs at the outset, an amount of cryptocurrency, and/or navigate various exchanges. Look for a game that matches your expertise in the Blockchain. If you’re a beginner, start with an NFT game that has familiar onboarding, such as free-to-play or making an online purchase with a credit card.?
- Ask yourself what value you’re getting? Some NFT games sell the idea of being part of an exclusive club or having access to fabulous future rewards. That may sound great but video games shouldn’t be confused with a lottery. If you're a player just looking to enjoy a game, focus on having fun.?
- Cashing in and cashing out. One of the exciting things about NFT games is that players can buy and sell skins, avatars, accessories, and other in-game content. If that’s something you want to do, learn your way around various sites like OpenSea or Rarible. But, be smart. NFTs are just like any other collectible such as baseball cards or comic books, some might increase in value — most won’t. Just like collector cards or comic books, the true value should be the enjoyment they bring to you.
