Play-to-Rank is the future of blockchain gaming
SINGAPORE, 22 September 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Volare jumped into the blockchain gaming market by creating Volare Game Arcade in Whisper MSG, a blockchain wallet and messenger app with more than a million downloads. Volare Arcade started with 9 games, all of which are Play to Rank (P2R). Volare awards token rewards to daily top ranked winners of these games. JG Lee, a leader of the Volare project emphasized that “P2R games should and will replace Play-to-Earn games, because P2E games are more work than play.”
As the blockchain wave spread to the gaming industry, game developers invented a new genre called Play to earn. The first notable P2E game was “Cryptokitties” in 2017, where players competed to create and breed unique kittens to sell, but players grew tired of the repetition of trying to create a unique kitten, and Cryptokitties were quickly forgotten. The craze was followed by “Axie Infinity“, a P2E blockchain game with an added showdown element. Like Cryptokitties, players also got tired of the repetitive “grinding” to breed Axies.
Most players soon realized two immutable principles behind P2E gaming: First, a P2E player can make money only by selling game items to other players. Therefore, if new players do not join, existing players can no longer earn money. Second, as soon as a game’s focus shifts from “fun” to “money,” the game becomes mere labor and the players become miners. P2E games provided a useful lesson that games to make money are no longer games.
Unlike P2E games, P2R games allow players to focus on the game itself. P2R games also add “rewards” to the achievements of players, which are usually quantified as “Ranking”. The P2R system has already been adopted by many e-sports. Players who willingly pay to watch incredible games by eSports superstars cheer in excitement and excitement when they are rewarded as the top rankers in P2R games. JG Lee added, “Volare Network will create a P2R gaming ecosystem that challenges players which in turn will motivate developers who are inspired by the players.”
