Games for a Living will host an official Elemental Raiders tournament in March with NFT and token rewards, but it won’t be on the Steam version. The GFAL token and some game features will be minted on the BNB chain. Some NFTs, on the other hand, will first be minted on Ethereum and then connected to BNB through the company’s user portal. Games for a Living wants to use a private blockchain for its upcoming games and establish a way for other developers to develop NFT-based titles.
Hawkins and the change in the gaming industry
The gaming industry has undergone significant change in recent years, with more gamers and developers turning to blockchain and NFT technology to create new gaming experiences. The global gaming market is expected to reach $200 billion by 2023, with the addition of NFTs and tokens expected to fuel significant growth in the industry.
Hawkins and Games for a Living want to capitalize on this trend by creating innovative new gaming experiences that harness the power of NFTs and tokens. The team plans to develop games that provide players with unique and engaging experiences and provide opportunities for players to earn and trade valuable in-game assets.
According to Hawkins, the integration of NFTs and tokens into games can revolutionize the industry, creating new revenue streams for game developers and giving gamers more control over their gaming experiences.
“I am confident that blockchain, combined with our vision, can create a new gaming paradigm for the benefit of all.” Hawkins said in a press release. “We plan to do it in a way that helps improve game performance and player value while keeping things fun.”
Hawkins, who has been involved in the games industry for more than three decades, is no stranger to innovation, having founded Electronic Arts in 1982, which became one of the most successful video game companies in history.
