BGA 2022 Member Survey Report
The Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) recently released its 2022 Member Survey Report, which provides insights into the current state of the blockchain gaming industry. The report is based on a survey of BGA members, which includes companies and organizations involved in blockchain gaming.
One of the key findings of the report is that the blockchain gaming industry is growing rapidly. In 2021, the global blockchain gaming market size was estimated to be around $136 million, and it is expected to reach $2.2 billion by 2026. This growth is being driven by the increasing adoption of blockchain technology, which offers a range of benefits for gaming, such as increased security, transparency, and ownership of in-game assets.
The report also highlights some of the challenges facing the blockchain gaming industry. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of user education and understanding of blockchain technology. Many gamers are not familiar with blockchain, and may be hesitant to adopt blockchain-based games due to concerns about complexity and security.
Another challenge is the lack of interoperability between different blockchain networks. Many blockchain games are built on different blockchain networks, which can make it difficult for players to move their in-game assets between games. This lack of interoperability can limit the growth of the blockchain gaming industry and create fragmentation.
The report also provides insights into the types of blockchain games that are currently popular, as well as the types of games that are expected to become more popular in the future. Currently, collectible games (such as CryptoKitties) and trading card games (such as Gods Unchained) are the most popular types of blockchain games. However, BGA members expect that multiplayer games (such as Axie Infinity) and RPGs (such as The Sandbox) will become more popular in the future.
Overall, the BGA 2022 Member Survey Report provides valuable insights into the current state of the blockchain gaming industry. While the industry is still facing some challenges, it is clear that the potential benefits of blockchain technology for gaming are driving significant growth and innovation in the sector. As more players become familiar with blockchain and more interoperability solutions are developed, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in blockchain gaming in the years to come.
