“Invest – to – Play – to – Earn” instead of “Play-to-Earn”
I'm having a hard time understanding the logic of Play-to-Earn (P2E) games. Although these are released as play and win, they do not include the real play and win logic.
If I approach Play-to-Earn (P2E) games with a straight logic, I perceive it as taking time to play the game and earning money according to your success in your time.
However, when I want to start any Play-to-Earn (P2E) game, it asks me to invest and says that I can earn in proportion to my investment + time spent. As such, the play-and-win theory of Play-to-Earn (P2E) games collapses.
Because the situation is actually Play-to-Earn; invest + play (spend your time) + win turns into reality.
If "time is the most precious treasure" is really like that, if I contribute to Play-to-Earn games by devoting my most precious treasure, why do they demand extra investment? Have I already invested? I'm taking my time for you.
Also, if I'm going to make money on a game I invested in, why waste my time? I have already invested, give me a return without wasting my time! They may provide this in NFT card games, but there is no guarantee that you will earn as much as your investment. There is no guarantee that the NFT cards that are in the rarity class will come out of the packages you buy. Let's say it turns out, there is no guarantee that your card will be bought or rented by others.
We may think that investments involve risk, but the game is not presented as an investment game, as I said from the beginning. It is presented as a play and win game, in other words Play-to-Earn.
Moreover, you have to spend a lot of time to get a really good profit from Play-to-Earn (P2E) games. In its current form, I think Play-to-Earn games are deceiving the majority while causing brain numbness.
I have tried and invested in Play-to-Earn games and my opinion has not changed. I don't see Play-to-Earn games as scams, but as a distraction. I don't know if there is a game on the market that does justice to its name as Play-to-Earn, does not require investment, and actually makes a profit in proportion to the time you spend.
All I know; Although there are games based on invest + spend time + win, they continue with the name Play-to-Earn (P2E). Buddha is a deception, albeit in name only.
As with creating content, being a user of Play-to-Earn is a force. And this power alone is enough to make a profit for those who produce the game. Even as such, Play-to-Earn games should be non-investment-free games, or even have no investment option. Or if it requires investment, they should not use the name Play-to-Earn (P2E).
Invest – to – Play – to – Earn might be one of the names they should use!
“If you want me to use you, you have to give me free service, and I have to spend my time on you and get paid.”
My brother loves play to earn games and those are for free but it takes time. You need to have a lot of time to play before you can earn a good amount of token.
