Web3 Gaming Revolution: Insights from Immutable (IMX) Ambassadors

The
gaming
industry
is
undergoing
a
significant
transformation
with
the
advent
of
Web3
technology.
According
to
a
recent
feature
on

immutable.com,
three
Immutable
(IMX)
Ambassadors—Saltorious,
GaspodeWD,
and
Synix—have
shared
their
unexpected
journeys
into
the
world
of
Web3
gaming,
providing
valuable
insights
into
this
rapidly
evolving
space.

The
Journey
from
Web2
to
Web3
Gaming

Traditional
gamers
often
face
the
frustration
of
investing
time
and
money
into
games
without
true
ownership
of
their
in-game
assets.
Web3
gaming
aims
to
address
this
issue
by
enabling
players
to
own
and
trade
their
digital
assets
on
the
blockchain.
Saltorious
highlights
this
pain
point,
mentioning, “You
spend
all
this
money
on
Hearthstone,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
all
the
cards,
all
the
stuff,
all
the
gear
that
you’re
working
for
belongs
to
Blizzard.
With
these
types
of
[Web3]
games,
the
work
and
effort
that
you
put
in
can
be
exchanged
for
actual
monetary
value
down
the
line.
You
actually
own
these
assets,
you
actually
own
these
cards.”

This
concept
of
true
ownership
is
at
the
heart
of
Web3
gaming.
GaspodeWD
adds, “It
allows
people
to
trade
easier.
You’ve
got
proof
of
provenance
in
terms
of
where
assets
came
from.
You
can
check
who
really
owns
these
assets
on
the
blockchain.”
This
ensures
that
gaming
hours
build
something
of
lasting
value,
allowing
players
to
potentially
use
or
sell
their
assets
across
different
games.

All
Aboard
to
Web3
Gaming!
Your
Immutable
Passport,
Please

One
of
the
key
innovations
simplifying
the
transition
to
Web3
gaming
is
the
Immutable
Passport.
This
tool
offers
a
user-friendly
interface
that
makes
minting
NFTs
and
managing
digital
assets
straightforward.
Synix
praises
its
ease
of
use,
stating, “Minting
NFTs
is
a
breeze—just
two
clicks
on
my
phone,
with
no
extensions
or
apps
needed.
It’s
fast,
gas-free,
and
you
can
create
an
Immutable
Passport
in
seconds.
No
seedphrase
required,
just
log
in
with
Google,
and
you’re
good
to
go!”

GaspodeWD
appreciates
the
convenience
of
a
single
sign-on: “I
love
signing
in
with
my
Google
stuff
because
I
forget
all
my
other
stuff
all
the
time.
I
don’t
need
to
create
a
new
account
for
every
game.
I
don’t
have
the
time
for
that
and
I’ll
forget
it
every
time.”
The
Passport
consolidates
everything
in
one
place,
enhancing
convenience
and
accessibility
for
players.

Exploring
the
Exploding
Web3
Gaming
Ecosystem
on
Immutable

The
Web3
gaming
ecosystem
on
Immutable
is
expanding
rapidly,
with
over
380+
games
being
developed
on
the
platform.
GaspodeWD
remarks
on
this
impressive
growth: “It’s
just
the
sheer
sense
of
scale.
It’s
bringing
everyone
in.
Some
of
the
great
games
I’ve
been
following
and
playing
for
a
while
before
they’ve
picked
a
chain,
have
now
picked
Immutable.
It’s
all
coming
into
one
place.”

For
those
interested
in
high-quality
graphics
and
immersive
experiences,
Synix
recommends
Illuvium,
a
game
known
for
its
AAA
graphics
and
incredible
IP.
Other
notable
mentions
include
Space
Nation
Online
and
Medieval
Empires,
which
offer
rich,
detailed
worlds
and
innovative
gameplay
mechanics.

Community
is
at
the
Heart
of
Web3
Gaming
on
Immutable

One
of
the
most
exciting
aspects
of
Web3
gaming
is
its
vibrant
community. “The
Immutable
Community
is
an
amazing
place
for
those
who
truly
enjoy
gaming,”
Synix
shares. “There’s
no
talk
of
tokens
or
trading
meme
coins,
and
you
don’t
have
to
worry
about
the
crypto
market.
It’s
all
about
playing
games
and
having
fun.”

Saltorious
adds, “You
can
get
so
close
to
people
building
the
games
in
Web3
because
the
space
is
so
small.
You
wouldn’t
be
talking
to
the
founders
and
CEOs
of
traditional
games
for
the
most
part,
except
maybe
some
of
the
smaller
indie
ones.”
This
close-knit
community
allows
players
to
engage
with
game
developers
and
fellow
gamers,
enhancing
the
overall
gaming
experience.

The
Challenges
Facing
Web3
Gaming

While
the
promise
of
earning
rewards
is
appealing,
it’s
become
clear
that
the
fundamental
joy
of
gaming
should
not
be
overshadowed.
GaspodeWD
emphasizes, “Games
should
be
mainly
fun,
not
ROI-based.
Being
rewarded
for
your
time
and
effort
is
great,
but
the
game
needs
to
be
enjoyable
in
the
first
place.”
This
perspective
aligns
with
the
vision
at
Immutable,
which
focuses
on
creating
high-quality,
engaging
games
that
players
genuinely
enjoy.

The
Future
of
Gaming
is
on
Immutable

As
Web3
gaming
evolves,
its
potential
to
reshape
the
entire
gaming
industry
becomes
clear.
The
sector
is
experiencing
growth
in
technology
advancement,
player
numbers,
and
user
engagement.
Immutable
zkEVM
alone
has
surged
to
nearly
2
million
monthly
active
users,
and
Passport
recently
hit
over
1.5
million
signups.
Major
players
like
Netmarble
are
migrating
hit
titles
to
Immutable,
bringing
millions
of
players
into
the
Web3
ecosystem.

GaspodeWD
offers
an
insightful
perspective
on
the
future: “I
think
there’s
going
to
be
one
game
that
breaks
out,
gets
mainstream
success,
and
brings
a
spotlight
to
Web3
in
general.
The
risk
profile
will
go
down
as
the
quality
keeps
going
up.”
As
more
high-quality
games
enter
the
market
and
the
technology
becomes
more
user-friendly,
mainstream
adoption
is
likely
to
accelerate.

Web3
will
transform
gaming—that’s
a
given.
The
real
question
is:
Are
you
ready
to
participate
in
this
exciting
new
world?
