As per Dizon, the shift towards free-to-play games is part of a broader initiative by Web3 game developers to put gameplay ahead of tokenomics
Gabby Dizon, the co-founder of Yield Guild Games, anticipates a surge in Web3 game adoption sparked by shifting interest from play-to-earn (P2E) games towards free-to-play games.
He anticipates that by 2024, the most successful Web3 games will pivot from play-to-earn models to focus on being entirely free-to-play. These new free-to-play Web3 games will differ from P2E games like Axie Infinity Classic, which demand players to acquire at least three Axie non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to participate.
