Web3 Games are deceased, salutations to Games: SKALE CEO
Skale CEO Jack O’Holleran, the head of the Ethereum scaling network, expresses a solid belief that the notion of Web3 gaming will completely vanish over the next half decade.
“I possess a very firm conviction that the concept of Web3 gaming will cease to exist,” he conveys to Web3 Enthusiast (a section that would evidently need to be reconsidered by 2029).
He doesn’t anticipate its demise due to technical faults. Alternatively, he foresees it as a casualty of its own prosperity.
“This is going to happen because we will collectively be so successful in integrating the advantages of blockchain into games that every game worldwide will commence to harness this much more effectively,” he elaborates.
O’Holleran reflects on the term “Web3 game” akin to the early stages of the internet when individuals awkwardly uttered phrases like “internet company.”
“No one uses that term anymore because technology is infused into every sector,” he chuckles.
Therefore, if every major gaming establishment incorporates Web3 technology into their games, the term begins to diminish in relevance.
“In a world where every single game incorporates some blockchain element, what truly defines a Web3 game from the rest?”
However, presently, the term remains pertinent.
The SKALE network represents an Ethereum scaling solution at layer-2 that asserts to offer a seamless and delay-free gaming encounter for users and can manage up to 700 transactions per second.
It sustains prominent Web3 games such as the multi-level motorcycle racing game MotoDex, the sports-based metaverse Gamify, and the side-scrolling blockchain platformer Untitled Platformer, each of which has amassed millions of downloads in the past year.
