Far more than "gambling": NFTs, blockchain and future trends are reshaping the gaming industry

Blockchain and NFT gaming have the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry by creating new levels of ownership, scarcity and uniqueness of in-game items and assets. By decentralizing the gaming economy, gamers gain more control over their data and digital assets that are verified on the blockchain and, as a result, have a real monetary value and are unique. New business models are emerging for players and developers, but there is a risk of a shift in priorities in the games industry, away from innovative game content and towards monetizable items. Discussing this with Ö3 presenter Shin Chang: Lee Trink (CEO FaZe Clan), Carsten van Husen (Co-Founder & CEO ELEET GAMES), Marie Le Conte (Journalist), Yat Siu (Co-Founder & Chairman Animoca Brands Limited) and Johanna Pirker (Professor of Computer Science, LMU & TU Graz).
