Hey guys! Recently, I've noticed a lot of new dapps, SMTs and other projects that have chosen to be built on the Steem blockchain! This, along with HF21 and SMTs finally having a set date is very exciting! Since the start of my journey here on Steemit, I have always tried to promote gaming, as I feel like content creators and streamers have immense potential to earn a lot of money here on the Steem blockchain! With this thought in mind, I tried my hardest to promote gaming when I first got here on the platform. However, at the time there was very little interest due to Steem being a blockchain (thus crypto related), the market being extremely bullish (so crypto posts rose above all else) and just simply not enough gamers to sustain a tag.
However, due to the bearish market, I realise that there has actually been a lot more posts about the actual development of just general things on the blockchain, of which many are games!
Trustless Auction Houses
This can be done using the Steem blockchain as it's immutable and everyone with an account can interact with it. This means anyone can buy or sell in a centralised, yet trustless environment!
Real Ownership
Classically, gaming giants like Blizzard have explicitly said on their terms and conditions that gamers are not the legal owners of the items they possess in game! This means you don't technically own the items you have. However, with the introduction of the blockchain and SMTs in the future, gamers can have somewhat real ownership of the items they have in game! This can be seen for example through Steem Monsters. The cards I have all have a unique ID which acts as kind of like a token, which is mine! I trade it, sell it, or probably even burn it by sending it to 
Fast and Free Transactions
One thing that Steem has an advantage over other blockchains like ETH is that we are near instant and free! I remember playing cryptokitties and spending over $200 on gas fees in a few days. No one will have to face that problem here on the Steem blockchain since the transactions are free and fast!
New Games With Potential
The two games that I feel have the most potential is the obvious Steem Monsters, and something I've only heard of recently Chibera. Both these games look like they will be great assets on our blockchain and I can't wait to see these two projects, and all the other projects here on the blockchain develop!
