Many of us like playing games on free time on our phones and laptops and its a nice way to have some entertainment with action. But now it seems like gaming is moving to the next level as now we can earn from games and its also a way to invest in this. As far as I understand that blockchain on gaming has made it even better and opened opportunities to do lots more than just a play.

Earlier gaming was meant to be only for entertainment where we have limited functionalities and some games were also with the reward system. There was a very limited ecosystem and their reward was not having any monetary value and it was only to be used within their gaming platform itself.
I am not a gamer and to be honest that I have not even played any single game from the year 2012 until I started playing splinterlands in Dec 2019. I prefer to watch a video or read an article in my free time rather than playing games
I started playing splinterlands game after going through many posts and videos about it here and decided to give it a try. I wanted to check out and explore it so I purchased a starter pack with and paid USD 10 for it. I had a thought that I will not be investing further and now since I can play it so this should suffice for me. Things turned another way round and I started liking the game that made me have a better level of cards and I also started investing in it. Can you believe that my game account value is over $200 now? Here is the snapshot of my account and it shows everything.
I shared above snapshot as an example that if a person like me who is not a gamer and have the least interest in gaming can start playing and investing in the platform then I am sure there are many people me who can be a good option for such platforms.
There are various reasons for these platforms to get more attention and Popularity because the entire ecosystem has been set up in a way where it's not just limited to playing the game instead there are many more activities one can do and stay engaged. Splinterland was the first game I had started playing on the blockchain but I have also recently started with another game known as the city which is again quite interesting.
One of the most important and attractive reasons for people to enter in these gaming platforms because they have an opportunity to earn money through their play, investment, etc while in traditional gaming its still a dream.
I see this gaming segment full of potential and looking at the current development in gaming industry on the Blockchain I can say that in the coming years we are going to see much more action in this. There will be many more people joining in for different regions like some will be here for investment and some will be here for gameplay etc. As the blockchain is getting more attention so it is quite obvious that gave me on the blockchain will not be left alone and it will also grow simultaneously.
There are many games on the blockchains and I will share more about those games in next post
Thank you so much
Have a great day
