02 Vision
Since the beginning of civilization, stories have been a fundamental
component of the human experience. They have allowed us to transmit
knowledge, get excited, share experiences, worldviews, and new ideas.
Through stories, we have created beliefs, ideologies, and religions, and
carried out social transformations on a global level.
The way we have shared these stories has evolved hand in hand with
our technological development, from oral tales around a fire to the advent
of digital literature, cinema, television, and video games. In video games,
stories became a completely new experience, allowing us to live them
interactively.
Video games have evolved alongside the technological revolution that has
taken place in the last decades of the 20th century and the beginning of
the 21st century. They allow us to experience stories in a unique way,
becoming part of them and making decisions that have a direct impact on
the virtual universe before our eyes.
They entertain us, excite us, make us dream of different worlds, and
teach us about our past and future. Today, video games are the leading
entertainment sector, surpassing cinema and television in popularity. This
is mainly due to their great versatility and the passion of players to discover
new experiences. But now, a new technology has emerged that could
revolutionize the way we understand video games and how we live them
stories: NFTs.
NFTs allow for the creation of exclusive content for players, allowing them
to own and collect unique elements within the game. This technology
offers a world of possibilities for creativity and innovation in the video game
industry. Players can acquire objects that represent them in the virtual
world and identify them as unique.
In addition, NFTs can be used to enhance the educational component of
video games, offering unique elements that allow players to learn about
topics of interest while having fun. NFTs and blockchain technology
have enabled the development of a new game mode, play-to-earn. As
the name suggests, play-to-earn is a game mode in which the player is
rewarded with one or more tokens, which have real value.
These tokens are specific cryptocurrencies for use in the video
game, which would allow buying objects within the game, NFTs
in the marketplace or boosts within the game. The value of these
cryptocurrencies vary according to market supply and demand logic.
Receiving a token as a reward for playing a video game allows the player
to interact in a completely different way with the game.
The mainly problem with play-to-earn video games is that they have
deviated from the main objective of video games, which is to be fun and
tell stories, focusing on profitability for players.
In conclusion, video games are a fascinating way to tell stories and NFTs
represent a new dimension in the gaming experience, offering a unique
way to connect players with the stories and characters they love. With
NFTs, a new door of possibilities opens for creativity and innovation in
the video game industry, allowing players to live unique and exciting
experiences while having fun.
