FWIW I quite liked the trading card games on Blockchain because you could sell cards you didn't want, buy those you did, and packs became like 'real life' in that you could get a really cool legendary and make some money (just like Pokemon/YuGiOh, but that you lose in games like Hearthstone where you just convert them into some in game currency). I've commented on this before and people have said "Oh, why does everything require a financial incentive in Web3?" but let's be fair, it exists just the same in most IRL TCGs.
- epicide 4y agoWhat does being on a blockchain get you in a digital TCG that a centralized server can't?
- exdsq 4y agoNot much, just rare to find them because most TCG games don’t want to manage a shop and txs etc which you get for free on say Ethereum.
- epicide 4y agoYou still have to integrate your application with the chain, which I'm not sure whether that amounts to more or less money/risk than just managing it yourself or some other centralized platform. From a user perspective, it's certainly anything but free.
