From an article by Nat Eliason:
Crypto video games like Axie Infinity and Crypto Raiders are gaining popularity because they allow players to reclaim some of the value of their work. When you play hours of Fortnite and earn rare skins, there’s no way to cash out that work into dollars. But in Axie, there is.
I went down the rabbit hole on Axie Infinity and other Play2Earn blockchain games.
Axie seems to be the most popular, especially in countries like the Philippines 🇵🇭 Venezuela 🇻🇪 and Vietnam 🇻🇳
Some of the earning reports I found…
- A short doc reporting that people in the Philippines were able to earn $300-400 within a few weeks…
- This blogger spent 14 hours playing Axie several months ago and earned $39.70 in crypto, which is now worth 4 times as much. (Works out to $11/hour.)
- Someone apparently earning $2000/month playing an hour a day while looking after their 82-year-old grandmother.
- A couple earning about $200/week while playing a combined 20 hours a day.
But before you go signing up for Axie, know that you need to invest about $600 to start playing 😕
Here are some cheaper Play2Earn games to start with, and here’s a list of 40+ other ways to make money playing video games.
