Terrae Game Journal |07| Why is Blockchain Suitable for Games?

Mixing Cryptocurrencies, Databases and Gaming

The amount of games built on blockchain is rapidly increasing. Why is Terrae built on blockchain?

Using blockchain, Terrae and many other games allow people to become real owners of their digital assets.

It means that players can monetize their progress in the game at any time, by trading their possessions with others. Blockchain also shows full transparency of game operations, which guarantees that no entity can use its authority to decide over players.

Real Ownership

Blockchain is used in games to store your items on it, allowing everyone to gain a real ownership of them. In contrast, “classic” games store your digital belongings in their own servers, as well as your whole account. This can derive in losing possession of your assets in many ways such as server malfunction, canceled game, centralized decisions, etc. Nowadays, games also use blockchain to confirm player’s progress.

Why are two completely different worlds, cryptos and games, being combined in such ways?



Monetize Your Progress in the Game

Consensus not only allows you to create digital assets with your work and progress in the game, but it also gives them value. We can agree that a given token exists, but whether it’s worth anything is up to you.

People will only trust their gut if they don’t think there is a risk tied to it.

This feature is a bit more delicated than others. No one wants to mess up with their own money, so we know that the only way to encourage people to get onboard is by making them feel like they are believing in something that really exist, the concept is supported with an already valuated entity.

At Terrae, we support our cryptocurrency on the most valuable thing we have, your time.

Building in-game assets with your own work, your own time and your own gaming history. you are intrinsically upgrading the value of them.


How corrupt can the blockchain technology be?

Transparency

Blockchain is driven by community and not by any centralized organism. People don’t need to trust anyone so they only have to agree with the general rules which are given by the community, and not in a specific person (that might be crazy, you never know).

Time ago, the community forked Ethereum blockchain after a 55 million dollars crypto-robbery that had tremendously affected some users. Check it here.


Conclusion

Let’s make some inductive reasoning. If you are part of a blockchain community, means you agree with the rules. If a piece of blockchain has your name, and everyone agrees with it, you get to own it. It truly doesn’t matter whether you have the approval of everyone in the world, because it is never the case. As well as someone can refuse your ownership on certain digital asset, someone also can complain about your religion or believing.
