Great take man, crypto gaming would be really awesome when big game developers come in. I am not sure if they'd like to build on an existing platform or they'll just develop their own blockchains. Afterall, Companies like EA, Ubisoft and Sony have really strong branding presence around the globe. Their adoption of cryptocurrencies would be a very big green light.
Talking about Eos Knights, I think it was built using Unity games engine. Im not so much in love with the game but I realize it's a really good start. Here's to the future, man. Cheers!
It really depends on what they will use the blockchain for, but I think they would use pre-existing blockchains:
I think they will use pre-existing blockchains to create side-chains, and even if they didn't and created their own blockchain from scratch... there is a thing called cross-chain smart contracts ( I think these will solve this problem, but I still need to do more research so I won't get much into it here, might write a post about it though...)
Started playing EOSknights, I like the game... it could be better, and the market looks a little dead, but I still need to play more to really do my review of it, atm the problems that I find are: The time it takes to confirm something, dead market, node lag, needs better optimazition for the chrome browser.
I agree, it will be more economical to run side chains than a new chain from scratch. These companies might not want to make it decentralized completely, and that would be fine. as long the game works well and users can earn real tokens that can be converted to cash, the company can own a large amount of their tokens.
I also noticed all of those problems on eos knights too. seems blockchain games are hot for the first few months they came out and everything slowly dies off eventually, especially when new features aren't being added and people get tired of speculating. lol
That's why I like EOS so much, they aren't decentralized, they are semi-decentralized, they can still freeze accounts if a big consensus happens, they can restore wallets and even revert some wallets, is this a good thing or a bad thing? It really depends, but I think that, for big companies, it's a really good thing, if they got hacked they could freeze the hacked wallets immediately, if they lost their password they could recover them easily, semi-decentralization is good for large companies, full-decentralization is hard to adopt around the world, we got way too much "unintelligent" people in this world that don't know how to properly follow safe procedures to keep their funds secure
I still need to check a higher lvl of EOSKnights, maybe the market is only dead this early in the game... I'm still lvl 4 and can't get past floor 4 xD
LOL. Must try harder.
