I’m trying to figure out what happened to those NFT games that gained a lot of attention a few years back. I remember games like Axie Infinity, CryptoBlades, and some others that were highly promoted. I lost track of them and would like to know if they are still around or being actively developed. Have there been any updates or news about their current status? It would be great to learn if they’ve managed to keep their player base or if they’ve changed how they operate. Any insights or details would be greatly appreciated!
for sure! axie infinity went through major lows post-hack, but they’re trying to recover. honestly, most nft games fell off when the hype faded and crypto crashed. as for cryptoblades, it’s pretty much on life support, like only 10% of peeps are still playin.
NFT gaming basically crashed after the initial hype died down. Most projects failed because they needed a constant stream of new players to keep paying out rewards - that’s just not sustainable long-term. Axie Infinity is still around, but they’ve pivoted hard from the play-to-earn model to actually making the game fun. Their daily users plummeted from 2.7 million at peak. CryptoBlades and similar games? Pretty much ghost towns now that people can’t make easy money anymore. Some devs are trying to build actually sustainable games, but let’s be honest - most NFT games were never built to last.
Oh wow, this brings back memories! I was wondering the same thing recently. What I’ve noticed is that tons of these games are ditching the “play-to-earn” model that made them popular - the economics just weren’t sustainable.
I’m curious though - did you actually play any of these back then? Were you making decent money from Axie or just playing casually? I keep hearing mixed stories about whether regular players actually profited or if it was mostly early adopters and whales.
Also wondering if anyone’s seen any NEW NFT games that learned from these mistakes? The whole space went quiet but maybe there’s innovation happening under the radar. Would love to know if developers figured out better tokenomics or gameplay that doesn’t need constant new players to keep the economy alive.
