Why is randomness important to games?
Randomness is important to games because items won in games are worth real money in real life. Fortnite and CS:GO skins already sell for thousands of dollars, for example. In September 2021, a CS:GO player turned down a $1.5 million offer for a rare variant of the Karambit Case Hardened Knife, stating that the offer was too low to accept.
It’s not a huge leap to assume that this trend will continue on Web3, with collectors still paying huge premiums for rare in-game items. Through NFT technology, players will be able to own their hard-earned weapons and skins for the first time. This ability will unlock huge earning possibilities for players.
Since the digital assets earned in blockchain games will have great monetary value, it is critical that players know for certain that the games are fair.

How will Chainlink help make Web3 games fair?
The Web3 Made For Gamers platform is embracing Chainlink’s verifiable random feature. As a result, players can confirm the fairness of game results and reward distributions. Chainlink VRF achieves this by creating a transparent On-Chain Random Number Generator (or RNG for short) function. Paul-David Oosthuizen, CEO of Made for Gamers, writes: “Web3 gaming communities are demanding more transparency from projects, which is exactly what Chainlink VRF can help deliver. It is a must have for Web3 games that care about the integrity of their game and building an engaged community.”
Chainlink and Made for Gamers provide gamers with a reliable and verifiable method of knowing if games are fair. In the process, the two companies are helping to build a new era of gaming. Players will soon be able to compete for valuable digital assets on a provably even playing field.
