The gaming industry is gravitating toward Web3 thanks to the promise of a fairer and more player-centric gaming experience, with gamers making up nearly half of all blockchain activity in early 2023.
The first quarter of 2023 brought in $739 million in investments for the blockchain gaming industry, marking a 12.95% growth, according to DappRadar.
