Blog#29: The Gods Unchained Blockchain Gaming Experience

in Hive Gaming5 years ago

This article is not about the Gods Unchained as a game, but rather about how this game is experienced by most of the people. How easy is it to get into crypto gaming and how well is the huge technological achievement called blockchain implemented into the overall gaming experience?

My introduction to cryptocurrencies

For me, Gods Unchained was the first time I got in touch with cryptocurrency. I had heard about Blockchains and Bitcoin before, but didn't know any details or altcoins. I just heard about this new card game, the Hearthstone incident, and cards that were traded for multiple thousand USD. Play to earn seemed like a cool concept to me, so I gave it a try.

Step for step into the crypto world

First, I had to create a MetaMask account. This way I learned about wallets. By playing, I earned Genesis Raffle Tokens, some kind of NFT. Then I heard about the free coins offer on CoinBase and signed up there. Slowly but surely, I got to know every single aspect of crypto gaming. This is a process that takes some time, but it is totally worth it. By playing Gods Unchained, you can casually learn some financial concepts that might be really important in the future.

Blockchain technology: Both blessing and curse

However, not everyone might be this eager to learn so many new things. Some people just want to play some game, and not google every aspect they don't fully understand. If things don't work for them, they might quit the game out of frustration. And even long term players tend to get frustrated, because things don't work out. Even for the devs, this whole thing is completely new terrain and sometimes things just go wrong. Most recently, the weekend event reward distribution got delayed. This would not be an issue with a regular card game like Hearthstone, because cards don't have to be minted there. To make things worse, some servers problems occured. Early adopters just need to be really thick-skinned for this...
