LOL beating out both Larimar chains ain’t that neat, clearly that’s out niche and we should start doubling down on what works

Gaming is for sure growing on Hive!

Just today I did the report on the Hive activity, and the custom jsons are now dominating the blockchain.

I'm surprised how low the numbers are.

Great News. I believe if the crypto press would cover more the success of HIVE Gaming like. no transaction fees, 3sec confirmation time, great and active community tied to a social media platform.
We would do much better and many players who got frustrated on Ethereum and EOS would have moved over. Unfortunately the mainstream crypto outlets don't won't to admit that HIVE has great success in gaming and building active communities.
Thanks for your great work!!!

Great to see it and no surprise that hive is thriving with its games. Fast free transactions gives us a huge advantage over some of the larger chains.

I am glad to know that gaming community is progressively adopting Hive.

I just don't like EOS. I tried Trybe, Murmur, Karma... some other stuff. Wasn't really into it.

[wirago]

Can anyone recommend any Hive-based games though? ^^

[markkujantunen]

Interestingly, Hive picked up from where Steem left off at the precise time of the hard fork in which Hive was created. At that moment, gaming activity cratered on Steem.
