The Rise of Play-to-Earn Models: Legal Frameworks for Fair Distribution & Protection Against Exploitation

The Evolving of Gaming: from Fun to Financial Gain

The video gaming industry ranks among the largest globally, with an estimated net worth of $282 billion(24,100.43 Rupees) and demonstrating remarkable growth. Recently, the emergence of play-to-earn (P2E) games has introduced a significant transformation within this sector. P2E games represent a fundamental shift in the way gaming experiences are valued, as they enable players to generate real-world income through their in-game activities. In addition to entertainment, players can earn cryptocurrencies or other forms of tangible value, thereby redefining the relationship between gaming and economic benefit.

Defining Play-to-Earn (P2E) Models…?

Play2Earn, or P2E, is a novel gaming strategy that draws inspiration from blockchain technology. By playing games, users can earn cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through Play2Earn platforms. In light of their unique characteristics, NFTs are a kind of token that has grown in popularity. Unlike conventional cryptocurrencies, they are not governed by the same rules and are given to P2E players. Digital assets and exchangeable items that can be exchanged for real currency can be represented by these tokens. Play-to-Earn models have evolved from basic in-game prizes to intricate ecosystems where digital goods have real-world worth. For example, Axie Infinity, Battle, Decentraland, and The Sandbox have all experienced rapid expansion, drawing in millions of players and billions of transactions.
