The development of the gaming industry: web3 versus mobile.

Web3 vs. Mobile Games: An Existing Divide

Andy Adams, Business Development Director at Stardust, observes a clear divide between the mobile gaming industry and its younger sibling in the form of the web3 gaming industry. The competition in this field is undoubtedly strong, but it is crucial to engage in a mutual learning process, allowing for continuous improvement and development.

Collaboration Over Confrontation

The distinct separation between the mobile gaming industry and web3 is undeniable. Discussions on blockchain technology at industry events often limit themselves to a single session, highlighting the differences between these two branches. However, to make real progress, a shift in approach and a strive for collaboration are necessary, as the saying goes: „a rising tide lifts all boats.”

The Importance of Community and Player Rewards

Community plays a crucial role in the success of games, and web3 games demonstrate excellent abilities in creating and engaging a strong community. Web3 players enjoy being rewarded, positively impacting user retention and engagement levels.

Capital and Transparency in the Gaming Industry

When it comes to raising capital, although funds may be less accessible, the web3 industry is effective at attracting resources. Blockchain technology offers transparency, which can be invaluable for mobile developers, aiding them in better understanding player behaviors and optimizing marketing strategies.

Knowledge Sharing for Industry Development

Collaboration, knowledge sharing, and learning from each other are crucial for the gaming industry as it transitions into a new phase of growth. By integrating the best practices from both branches, a new quality can be created, opening up new opportunities for development.
