Onstage, Joe said, “Even as there is innovation coming to the fray weekly, we must always begin the application of new technology from how it will benefit the user experience.

“We’re big believers that gaming will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of blockchain and given how blockchain has already changed how we tokenize and trade in the gaming world, those who do not adopt it risk being upended.”

So far, commercial successes have not needed blockchain to become hits. Blockchain enthusiasts who see its potential have repeatedly called for future chapters of current gaming hits to be based on the blockchain.

Joe however, has a different opinion. “It’s crucial that we get the ecosystem correct. With the right ecosystem that works for both the business creating the game and the gamer, there will naturally be traffic that comes to the ecosystem. It’s rather tricky to get the balance right, that is, an ecosystem that benefits both the developer and gamer equally.

He added that if blockchain gaming doesn’t first solve the issue of a right ecology, it will then be difficult to garner faith in blockchain gaming, for both developers and gamers.

“We were previously focused on developing tools that attracted developers, but now, our interest is to create a blockchain-based killer app, which will be its tipping point to mass adoption.”
