In the web 3 gaming industry, the flow of the capital is becoming more electoral, with investors more likely to prioritize sustainable projects rather than short -term conditions.
In the Ganjra Games, Web 3 director Theodore Egger Nath noted in February that the blockchain game market has become a “chair -taking game”, with various projects and “no new funds that are flowing new funds.” He says consumers also travel between projects and move forward in the next project after price exploitation.
In February, the Web 3 Game Aerbium, which was also attracting high expectations, fired 40 % of its employees, and claimed that in the current market environment, “we need to reduce the cost.”
Chun Nigin, co -founder and CEO of Sky Mao, also implemented a 21 % reduction in staff in October 2024, which improved the budget for new projects.
Although these steps are taking place, web 3 game experts say investment funds are also present themselves and are analyzing the factors that affect trends all over the industry.
Investors are no longer “Blind” funds
Sky Mavis co -founder Jeffrey Zerler told the Quantal Graf that the web 3 gaming industry does not have its own challenges, but it is part of the capital barriers to the entire cryptocurrency industry.
“Web 3 games are not specifically struggling,” Zerrin said. Overall the market is in a difficult situation. “
However, there are exceptions. Zarlin cited the mobile web 3 game “Fibal Bone”, which recorded 16,000 % over business despite the decline in the market, and the new capital Sky Mao’s blockchain was flowing into “Ronin”.
“Investment is not completely dry. However, investors no longer invest in the projects they are known as the ‘Axi killer’ as they used.”
The “Aki Killer” refers to a group of plans that appeared as a web 3 game that surpassed Sky Mao’s “Axis Infinity” but failed to meet expectations.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Borge, co -founder and COO of the sandbox, pointed out that the term “chair -taking game” includes random pin, “and was answered,” I don’t agree. “
Borge said that the new capital has decreased and investors are becoming more wise, but the uncertainty caused by the topics that is like before is less.
“The success of the web 3 games now depends on whether they meet the standards like the traditional gaming industry. In particular, attractive content and gameplay, providing sustainable user acquisition strategies, building a strong app economy, and forming a loyal user base.”
“The day when you can only collect millions of dollars with the NFT element.”
Josh Gear, Chief Marketing Officer of the Gaming Tournament Platform Coalzium, told the Quintel Graph that the era of large -scale funding from Crypto Investors by adding only the NFT element has ended.
“It is true that the speculation stage of the web 3 games, which could include millions of dollars by adding the NFT element, has decreased. But that does not mean that the capital has disappeared.”
Gear said the capital is more selected and flowing towards a solid foundation and sustainable economy projects.
“Investors are interested in sports that integrate web 3 elements that improve players’ experience and are no longer interested in sports that rely only on financial privileges.”
Sigma Capital CEO Vinito Budoki also said that basic investors like Animocha brands still invest in blockchain sports. However, he explained that sports take more time in growth than other areas, and investment recovery takes longer.
Still, it is more difficult to raise funds for web 3 games. “In the past, we could raise funds by creating gameplay videos and offering attractive toxins, Budoki told Quettlagraph. But now it is not.”
Budoki concluded, “This is a team that develops a great game and understands the effective distribution process that can attract capital.”
