The growth of the entire gaming industry is leading to the rapid obsolescence of titles released just a few years ago. Indeed, elements such as AI, metaverse, 3D, or even virtual reality are increasingly elevating the player's experience. However, concerns about transparency or data security remain very much present. Will new technologies also be able to solve this issue?
Indeed, it will suffice to see how blockchain technologies, incorporating NFTs and even smart contracts (intelligent contracts validated on the network) can truly make the gaming experience safer and more transparent.
In fact, it's only a matter of time until different identity verification solutions for gaming companies are adopted by the world's leading game developers. Thus, it makes sense to understand in greater detail how these technologies can create a healthier, more intuitive, and accessible impact when playing newly released titles.
* Blockchain technology makes everything public
Although this is a technology that still raises a number of doubts in terms of adoption and usability, the reality is that many developers no longer ignore how networks like Ethereum or Solana can contribute to a more transparent, faster, and accessible game lobby. All because, being a game built with tokens (game coins) from a blockchain network, all transactions made between players will be recorded.
Such elements lead to the creation of NFTs. That is, you can have game elements – such as skins, weapons, players, and others – in your possession. Therefore, as what you are buying is registered on this blockchain network, everyone will verify that you are the owner.
Clearly, this will lead to your NFT, with utility within the game, possibly having its own value. This leads to not only all payments and transactions being public on the network, but also the blockchain technology may be creating a parallel economy. It will suffice to analyze how the buying and selling of skins in CS:GO led to the creation of a secondary game economy.
* New technologies for protecting your data
Besides the huge revolution expected from blockchain technology across the entire gaming industry, it is also anticipated that technologies for data protection are being improved. Not only will there be SSL on all web pages and game apps, but also there will be encryption technology protecting all personal or even financial data you share.
At a time when these issues are causing many interested players to think twice before putting money and investing in games, all these changes can further increase the level of player interactivity.
Because all this aligns with the interests of the game providers themselves, benefiting more from the popularity of games that can enter the much-anticipated web 3.0 market, which will connect titles like never before imagined.
