Problems

While the gaming sector continues to experience significant growth, there are a number of problems that prevent much greater adoption. These include but are not limited to:

• Forking chains resulting in duplicate versions of NFTs;

• Environmental issues (carbon footprint);

• High gas fees and slow transactions prevent mass adoption;

• Most cryptocurrency games are available only to crypto natives;

• Initial investment in NFTs required (pay-to-earn);

• Security and trust anxiety - especially for non-crypto natives;

• Poor user retention;

• High volatility in payments to players;

• The creation of large numbers of NFTs leads to compromised character aesthetics.
