Debate Over Blockchain's Role in Gaming Industry Intensifies as Sandbox Raises $120.96M

The integration of blockchain technology into the gaming industry is a topic of significant debate. Advocates argue that blockchain will become mainstream in games within the next two years, potentially leading to a major hit comparable to Minecraft. They believe that blockchain can offer better business, distribution, and gameplay models, which could onboard the next billion users. Companies like B3 are actively working to bridge the gap between traditional gaming and crypto. The Sandbox, a virtual gaming world, is an example of a project backed by major investors like Binance Labs and Animoca Brands, raising $120.96 million and showing X30 potential. However, skeptics argue that crypto gaming will follow the same path to irrelevancy as the metaverse, doubting its potential to produce a franchise on par with Call of Duty.
