why is this important for gaming?

Let’s face it. A lot of us are or have been major gamers at one point in our life, some of us Loves MMO’S other loved sandbox games or even RPG games. But there is one thing that all games so far have had in common which the blockchain technology is going to change. OWNERSHIP!

If you grinded 200 hours in a MMO back in the day if it was WOW or Runescape or EVE- Online, you know that anything you gather in these games are not your property but rather the game develops property. That means when you for example buy a pack of cards in Hearthstone you don’t own those cards you have only ‘rented’ them from Blizzard. You were still able to sell what you had gathered but that came with the risk of your account getting banned which you had more than likely used 500+ hours on. However, with the blockchain technology more and more game companies are trying to change that. In this article I will mostly focus on an upcoming game that is Parsec Frontiers. The reason I have chosen to focus on this game is because it is not just browser based like Cryptokitties and are fully-fledged working games.



ParsecFrontiers.

ParsecFrontiers is a space MMO that focus on space exploration, mining and Player driven economy. ParsecFrontiers will be supported by a blockchain, that means everything you gather trade or fight to achieve will be your property. If you wanted to travel to a faraway galaxy to get some rare and unique materials and then trade them in for parsec credits and use those credits to buy bitcoin or ethereum you are free to do so. This is a very ambitious project and I am happy that I have followed it from the start, if you have ever played EVE-Online and want to try an upcoming game that let you own all your assets you grind for ParsecFrontiers is differently something to look out for.

Some information about the game.

• Do you have to know about crypto to play this game? No. when I asked a dev this question the answer was the following

" Ideally a person without any crypto knowledge should be able to play the game."

• If everything is your property can I do what I want with it? Yes, if you want to play the game just to earn money for crypto or anything else you are free to do so if you like the game you are also allowed to invest your own money into it. As the game is using a 100% player run economy there will be plenty of opportunities to invest and make money.

• Is there any requirements to get started on this game? This is something that is not completely set in stone yet. The devs are working on a solution to this problem, it is something they are not taking lightly as they are not only targeting the crypto community but also the mainstream gamers.
