Blockchain will transform the business of gaming

The gaming industry has been experiencing major shifts for a decade now. First came broadband internet, then the rise of Steam. Before long, these developments quickly gave way to the biggest gaming disruption of the last decade: digital gaming. And with the rise of digital games, the console model that had dominated the industry since the 1980s was challenged by the now-ubiquitous “free to play” model.Today, digital gaming accounts for 87 percent of the industry’s $108.9 billion annual revenue, a true disruptor.

But as we all know, new technology never stays “new” for long. The gaming industry is now on the verge of yet another wave of disruption built on blockchain and cryptocurrency.
