Blockchain's Future in the Games Industry
The games industry has historically been quick to make use of emerging technologies and with billions of dollars of investment, there is no shortage of ideas but little detail on how it can positively impact game design. The panel will expertly navigate the hype, scams and get-rich-schemes to talk about what the technology can offer and why players should care.
Takeaway:
- New ideas for game design using blockchain
- An understanding of the challenges of building a token economy
- How to approach blockchain from a technical perspective
