Xbox Buys Activision for 70 billion dollars, Investors in the crypto sector occasionally avoid Game integrated NFTs or NFTs in general viewing them as a lesser investment. If Microsofts recent acquisition tells me anything, its that gaming is one of the smartest investments a company can make.
Thanks to game item NFTs we can even scale that type of investment down to something an average person can afford. While a game item is no where near as valuable as an entire company, NFT game Items can be versatile assets.
👇Here's a link to the news about Activision
buisnessinsider
While Activision NFTs are not yet a reality there are Ubisoft NFT skins for the new Ghost Recon game already.

Times are a changing Finally these simplistic trivial game assets will be anything but Childs play but a legitimate asset with all the benefits legitimate ownership entails.
Games are a billion dollar industry, the gaming industry revenue in 2020 was a reported $155 billion. With NFTs tech savvy gamers will eventually have potential access to some of that revenue if they so choose.
On the 24th of January 2022 the successful freemium game studio FGL launches their first game NFTs in their WAX FGL Metaverse.

Today ill be focusing on Blockchain games a cut above the rest, titles getting a head start with this new play to earn landscape.
Alien Ships
Now I write about this play to earn WAX blockchain game often for good reason. Alien Ships almost constantly introduce new Game play types, Game Mechanics, & NFT assets.
For instance in the last week they have introduced 2 New NFTs into game directly connected to their new Game play type PILOTS LEAGUE.
The Upgrade Station added 2 days ago upgrades your SX Contender for pilots league.
Top 5 Players in the Pilots league win one of the Space Gem NFTs which produce WAXP daily.
Utilizing your SX contender you pilot through waves of enemy crafts taking out as many waves as possible to achieve the highest score amongst players for that day.
Top 5 players get the coveted space gem NFT which produces WAX daily.
You can even sell one for just under $100, Needless to say its a prize worth winning. I like this for 2 reasons 1 its something that while easier to get by paying for extra ship mods it can be won through skill alone. Another reason I like the piolets league it gives you an accurate measure of the games popularity.
Latest top contenders its difficult for me to score above 300 without bonus multipliers so someone scoring 60,000 that's crazy to me.
The game type I'm most fixated on lately is their Planet NFT missions, the reason being they amount to me clicking a button twice daily.
You need 40000 Credits & a Ship NFT with autopilot & warp drive upgrades to run a interplanetary mission.
You can However find these which amount to 1 WAX
Simply burn one of these & you get 1 WAX easy as that no selling or messing with anything.
Rather unlikely & its never happened to me yet but you can win any of the asteroid NFTs in the Planet NFT missions.
Any number of different NFTs can be earned on planet NFT missions.
However they cost credits I burn certain NFTs they list on the Alien Ships Site to receive large amounts of credits quickly.
Not all NFTs in this colection actually generate something by being burned check their site to be certain.
Some NFTs grant credits for burning, some NFTs grant units, some NFTs even give you WAX when burned, but not every Alien Ships NFT has a burn use case.
Combat missions may be played for free generating in game credits.
Credits serve a number of purposes in game you may even get Ship NFTs with credits.
You use Credits to run transport missions which grant the player Materials when successful.
They even give out free NFTs on their discord to fans of the game that own one of these.
They have plenty of passive income options as well for the more invested players.
These however have prices to reflect their utility.
I have been with this game since launch as such I own one of their all but forgotten NFTs with a passive NFT generation mechanism a Rover. Rovers generate a Ship NFT a month
Want to give Alien Ships a try like I said previously the Combat missions are free, please consider using my referral.

Ill airdrop 3 of these to 3 lucky readers today
Burn it for 1 WAX its like I'm airdropping crypto
Talent or Tech
The two main focuses I have when assessing a Play to earn game or NFT colection. When I find a play to earn with either a talented team behind it or superior tech such as a game engine or Blockchain resources.
I invest in it even if its a minimal expenditure even a few NFTs enough to test a game & so on can give you further insight.
Enough time observing a colection a few months I can see how they handle problems rollouts updates patches & so forth.
This information leads me to my last & most important observation have they shown me they have what it takes to continue growth.
Alien Ships, Splinterlands, Beast Gardens, Rising Star, Hash Kings, & Alien Worlds all have talent driving their projects at least originally that was their primary driving force.
Splinterlands & Alien Worlds also now Have tech Backing their talent a 1 2 punch.
The inverse of that is Tech driving the Colection from the offset Farming Tales, Green Rabbit, Dragon valley, & Kogs are tech driven play to earns that recruit talent as they grow which is fine.
When a Colection possess both it tends to have staying power given there are around 70+ Games just on WAX with more added weekly.
The reason many play to earns flock to WAX is its a green blockchain & easily accessed by the masses.
If I didn't mention a title its due to the fact that I have to draw a line somewhere it would take all day to list all the play to earn games that I play regularly.
Splinterlands
What can I say about Splinterlands That I haven't before, at this point I'm starting to get a little repetitive so ill mix it up today.
Lets take a look at a brawl match I recently had
My team is the one on the bottom I'm facing a lama mage which usually is game over right.
With the earthquake rule set all non flying units take damage each round. My team has by round 6 taken out 2 of the opponents team & I haven't lost 1 unit.
The opponents summoner grants their last unit the last stand ability boosting stats. It is tough to beat but my Gladiator has blood lust also boosting stats.
Looking rough for my team
However my gladiator Heals
The healing ability Scales to my attack damage when blood lust boosts the attack it also boosts my healing ability.
https://splinterlands.com?p=battle&id=sm_HorHfdr5JMFVIHUl3SZ3&ref=chubb149
Link to battle👆
Quora Towershead is lethal this monster is one of the toughest I own, Now that they have dropped a chaos legion card with blood lust you need to understand how powerful that ability can be.
Grum Flameblade Is a formidable card already add to that blood lust & look out.
Another new card to watch out for is Uriel The purifier
It heals when leveled up & I'm uncertain if that's every turn for 3-4 health or every other turn for 9-12 health. Everyone seems to be Unaware of how good the Recharge ability can be
Even at level 1 this card is a nightmare to face
Galactic 123
A surprisingly in depth game with planet exploration, combat, planet / party / ship modification, & ownership of planets markets mines ships + so much more.
For instance the WAX game Gnocity apparently owns a few planets on one of which there is a special merchant wit the best weapons' I have ever found.
https://www.gnocity.io/
This 👆 is the Gnocity play to earn
Here 👇 is the Galactic 123 Gnocity planet coordinates
Location: (4 , 19)
Enter the location in game on galactic map in the circled area shown above then hit warp.
Planets with plant life are uncommon to say the least.
The planet appears colonized no hostel units in sight
In the back of the town you will find this 👆 vendor
The two most powerful weapons I have found in game These are WAX NFTs as well.
One planet down Location (4,20)
This Planet has a ship yard to upgrade both your ground & space craft units
Click market instead of explore in 3d
Either better ships & ground support can be found in the Ship yard or hit the bank to trade Crypto for in game units (currency)
Another colonized planet with a even cooler vendor
This dude has shot guns
On a key board hit (x)
Takes you to the custom menu for your party
Now I have a shotty
These Cryptocurrencies can all be earned by beating enemies, owning mines, or manually mining in game.
Galactic 123 is much more then meats the eye please consider using my referral 👇 to start exploring the Galaxy
https://galactic123.net/splash.html?ref=2208
Its free the games NFTs & crypto are on either WAX or TRX (Tron).
Expansion
This game is a space mining sim & it has taken me a while to wrap my head around.
Thus far I have mastered Renting my NFTs in the Mining tab
Mostly renting out Satellite tools Because they are affordable
Got my first mining tool so now I should produce a little of each form of Expansion crypto per hour.
With all my cheap tools I can mass claim a little of each of the 6 different Expansion cryptocurrencies.
A fairly in depth mining sim on WAX BSC & soon multiple other blockchains, you will note almost every game I mention is on a few blockchains.
While to the best of my knowledge the game play is essentially claiming once an hour its fairly involved almost more advanced then alien worlds.
Check the game out here I will toss some mining equipment stakeable in game in the 3 airdrops.

Splinterlands Pack results
It took a while but I finally gotten one of the Airdropped cards from chaos legion in a pack.
While its fine to state something its nice to present proof.
Farming tales
You want to see an example of just how far blockchain games have come look no further then farming tales on WAX.
This is a perfect example of technology helping a dedicated team realize their dream quickly. Thanks to being built with a game engine Specifically the Unity Game engine.
Farming tales went from a design to a full fledged play to earn in the matter of months not years.
Customize your own digital farm with WAX NFTs then feed & water your farm to grow crops & animals which may then be sold for SNEST their crypto.
They recently launched a new Rarity upgrade system for their NFTs making this involved play to earn much more expansive.
https://neftyblocks.com/c/farmingtales
Utilize the SNEST voucher system to upgrade your farms NFTs, farming sim games have never been something I care for but if you like them you will not find better then Farming Tales.
https://www.farmingtales.io/
I mentioned they made Farming Tales utilizing the Unity Game engine, since then 2 other WAX titles utilized the same game engine.
Green Rabbit
https://greenrabbitgame.io/
Blockchain RPG
https://blockchainrpg.io/
Farming tales is also built with a Real life farm counterpart to some of their NFTs entitling the owner to proceeds from the Real life farm. Keep in mind this is not the whole Farming tales colection but still.
This means some of the NFTs in farming tales are VIRL farm plots tied to real property simply fascinating.

White paper 👆
Farming tales actually has a HIVE account
@farmingtales
Currently even a Contest ongoing
@farmingtales/farming-tales-contest-win-fabulous-prizes-and-grab-prizes-from-your-posts-engesp-end-in-7-days-190122
Fairly certain I actually posted about Farming Tales first like 6 months ago doing an Unboxing before the game even launched happy to see how far they have come.
HODL God
A Multiplayer 3d FPS style blockchain game on WAX.
Yeah that crazy ass looking game is a blockchain game unfortunately it never got enough time in the spotlight.
Recently however they gave us a glimpse of 2 new maps, to the best of my knowledge these are not yet available to play.
That being said they introduced a new site & use case for their crypto VOID called when staking.
https://whenstaking.com/
Given all the recent movement by this company you might want to start playing HODL god start sharpening your skills for when this game inevitably takes off.
https://www.hodlgod.com/
Summery
Blockchain games are becoming the new gaming industry the traditional gamers may not yet be on board but that is just a small hurdle. WAX already has grade (A) companies making NFTs like Hot Wheels, Funko Pop, Spider man (Marvel), Godzilla, Saw, & to many others to list.
Thus it stands to reason the same draw WAX blockchains easily accessible design will inevitably draw game companies as well.
The FGL metaverse I believe may be just the beginning
