Centralized vs decentralized

The centralized gaming industry is a whooping 200 million dollar market and growing. Although different modes in these types of game are added, still the adminstrative authority remains with the game development team and the in-game assets are confined one game only. Once the player logs out of the game, his assets usually vanishes.

In light of these concerns, a new genre of gaming has been brought in the market. That is, the integration of blockchain with gaming.

Using the blockchain technology All in-game assets are the sole and eternal property of the player. Players can have more confidence when playing games because of the security and transparency that blockchain technology provides for their data. It is essential for players to have freedom in a decentralised system. The decentralised gaming environments can have permanent storage created by the connected decentralised nodes to a blockchain network since blockchain technology is built on a distributed ledger. This allows players to replay previous games for a long time because the records are stored on-chain.

Summary

In conclusion, there is a growing demand for rich virtual gaming environments where possessing virtual assets significantly affects a player's position and ability to advance in a game

The gamer's time and effort may also be rewarded in ways apart from simple enjoyment, for as by swapping virtual objects obtained in-game for cryptocurrency tokens or NFTs usable in another game.

Blockchain allows for scalability and near-real-time asset storage in a distributed ledger thanks to decentralisation. Regardless of the game they are playing, this is vital for players.

However, decentralised gaming is preferable for players since it gives them real ownership of in-game assets, the chance to make money (play to earn), and the ability to build on top of Dapps that have already been developed.
