Blockchain games are currently receiving much attention. However, for the further development of blockchain games, there are still some questions in people’s mind that need to be answered.

Sean Chen, founder of the blockchain game platform BlaCat, accepted an interview in the Media Center at the ceremony discussing these topics.

Q: Hi, Sean. We all know that blockchain games are very hot now, but we also want to know when will we fully embrace the outbreak of blockchain games and what are the difficulties that will be faced?

Sean Chen: Hi, first of all, I can only give my own personal opinion. The blockchain game will be a future trend, but the user experience now is relatively poor. The operation response speeds take very long, which frustrates our gamers. Secondly, users have higher barriers to entry in accepting the concept of blockchain. At the same time, game quality is another important factor. Once there is a developed blockchain game, then that will not be far in causing an outbreak in this industry. After having the release of high-quality games, there must be a more mature business model created. I believe that in the future, blockchain games will create and upsurge like end games and mobile games did in the past.

Q: BlaCat is a platform that supports high-speed blockchain games. What are the advantages of BlaCat?

Sean Chen: There are two advantages here. The first is our application chain ZoroChain, which is very fast. Second, we will provide developers an SDK similar to the ones used for conventional games. They will only need to have access to the SDK without any plug-ins involved, it is very convenient. At the same time we will provide a service for developers to help them promote their games. On this basis, we will also provide services for investors, all of which are free. Lastly for the game developers, the BlaCat platform will help them find users and promote their games for free.

Q: One of the biggest issues and that is very difficult is in getting users. The threshold for blockchain games that you just mentioned is very high. The other issue is that the current cryptocurrency market is not very good and it might be hard to attract more users to follow blockchain games. How do you feel about all of this?

Sean Chen: First of all, the threshold is really a problem, which will lead to difficulties in obtaining users, so we should lower the threshold. I think the threshold is there, but high-quality game content is more critical. As for the fluctuation of the cryptocurrency prices, for the whole blockchain industry the negative impact of the currency prices has not been huge. In fact, the lower prices may allow more interested users to enter the industry. I think the role of blockchain in games is to redefine the issuance mode and business model of the game. The assets of these games will be recognized by players, and the prices of his own assets will rise. Bitcoin is now 1 or $2,000 dollars, if it is thousands of dollars or hundreds of thousands dollar, it is still nothing but a value issue, which I think is not a problem.

Q: BlaCat has designed a decentralized community for blockchain games, but at the same time designed a game mechanism in the community. What do you think will be the ultimate structure of the blockchain game? How do you weigh in on the key opinion leader mechanism and centralization?

Sean Chen: Some people say that there is a certain contradiction between key opinion leaders and decentralization. I don’t think so. All products and services are provided by people and there will be a division of labor. It is impossible to say that there are 1 million people in this game, so I have 1 million people to make decisions. A community will inevitably have various divisions of labor, and there will inevitably be various leaders.

For the game itself, the concept of decentralization is to have a core maintenance team. We need professional people to do perform their professional duties, so your game will be more entertaining. Therefore, I think that the decentralized community is completely consistent with having key opinion leaders. For our platform, we will try various ways to operate it. Some rights will be more concentrated, and some will be decentralized, which is a very big difference from conventional games.
