Meta-universe is a "cake" that big capital has touched in recent years, and various companies have also launched their own "meta-universe products", of which games are the most gimmicky. However, G Fat, the head of the V Society who has been in the game industry for many years, has not been optimistic about this, and even asked these so-called meta-universe game developers, "Haven't you ever played a good RPG game?" It is not difficult to see the attitude of G fat, at least at the current level of science and technology, the meta-universe era is still far from us.
A recent report shows that despite the significant investment and efforts made by companies around the world, meta-universe gamers continue to churn. The average daily user of Axie Infinity decreased to 100,000, a decrease of about 30%, while The Sandbox decreased by 29%, with an average of only 1,180 users per day.
Foreign media also pointed out that the number of daily users of games in the virtual world is somewhat misleading, because some of them are players, and others are "workers who play games to earn income for investors."
Blockchain game analyst DeFi Vader wrote in his analysis of Axie Infinity: "Unlike traditional games like Fortnite GTA, it doesn't have the natural stickiness to attract players. "As you can see from the statistical table below, these metaverse games are not competitive compared to the mainstream games on Steam.
Practitioners believe that the main reason for hindering the entry of core players is the mechanism of paying to win in NFT games, which most mainstream games strive to avoid, because a successful game usually creates a fair multiplayer experience.
Still, there are some in the industry who say that high-quality games can go hand in hand with the metacosm, arguing that cryptocurrency financing models can raise funds for game development and thus get rid of financial dependence on big developers.
