Conclusion
The Play-to-Earn business model is the latest development in the gamefi industry. It’s a business model that embraces the concept of an open economy and provides financial benefits to all players who add value by contributing to the game world. It’s likely to introduce new game concepts and retention models not yet seen in modern gaming.
The play-to-earn business model has many similarities with the free-to-play one. Often a play-to-earn game also uses mechanics seen in free-to-play titles. However, play-to-earn games also allow gamers to make money or earn valuable digital assets, and Dogeon is one of them.
