Issues in the Gaming Market
Unfair Revenue Distribution
Game developers and small studios face excessive fees from platforms such as Steam, Apple, and Google. These fees typically amount to 30%, placing a significant financial burden on developers. Independent developers, in particular, struggle to bear these high costs, often abandoning creative projects or experimental endeavors. This dynamic reinforces a market structure dominated by large-scale studios, stifling diversity and innovation.
Lack of Player Ownership
Currently, most in-game assets are stored on centralized servers, meaning players do not hold actual ownership of the items they purchase or acquire. As a result, when a game service shuts down or an account is suspended, players lose all their assets. Additionally, centralized systems restrict user-to-user interactions, such as item trading, and hinder players from engaging in free economic activities within the gaming ecosystem.
