Web3, NFTs, play-to-earn and Web3 have proven to be far more than a trend in the past year. There are cultural shifts taking place today that show immense potential to completely flip traditional models on their heads – from how we look at content, gaming, finance, and more.
The shift to pay-to earn gaming has seen huge benefits and will continue to reap the rewards as society adopts it. In the beginning, play-to earn titles were not recognized and rewarded with status. However, there have been inherent barriers that prevented people from gaining access to them. Many of today’s most popular P2E titles have been so expensive that it has become difficult to obtain NFTs of any level to participate in them. Rent-seekers are now trying to prevent this from happening.
Some play-to earn titles also offer a subscription option, while others have lower entry fees that can reach thousands of dollars. High costs aren’t the only concern, as even some of the biggest play-to-earn titles have faced challenges around blockchain vulnerabilities. The traditional gaming industry has not been open to the idea of a play-to earn structure. It is also high-costly developing strong games titles.
While not all of this is entirely avoidable, one project – OpiPets – is carving their own niche by rewarding their community with crypto, at no cost, whilst offering a gaming first approach to their yet-to-be-released title.
OpiPets Addresses Price Disparity
OpiPets has launched a new free P2E title. This will allow users to fight, get, trade and create OpiPet FTs. The platform will integrate a two token system, one token serving as a governance token and the other as the in-game currency, a “cross-functional” token in the Opis Group ecosystem. In-game currency can be used to purchase the Opis Cloud app.
Unlike many current play-to-earn approaches these days, users in OpiPets can earn in-game currency without spending real money – simply through engaging with the game.
In a recent AMA, the OpiPets staff explained how the game is free to play. “OpiPets truly is a free to play to earn game and we believe one of the first of its kind. Users can create an account and begin earning in-game tokens without the need to connect a wallet or deposit anything at all.” Users can connect their wallet later when they’re ready to withdraw earnings, mint a custom NFT, or go to battle.
Why it Matters
Play-to-earn titles deserve a level point of entry for new participants, and OpiPets is focused on exactly that – while still bringing P2E project necessities, such as hand-drawn characters, a transparent team, and a clear vision.
“We have a very experienced team, more than capable of delivering on our promises,” stated Vince Howard, Head of Marketing. “Our team comes from prestigious backgrounds, such as; Call of Duty, Epic Games, Swissborg, BBC, NBC Universal, United Nations, Microsoft Azure, KPMG and Sony Pictures.”
OpiPets’ position is unique in contrast to other pay-to-earns. OpiPets doesn’t need to depend on token sales to help develop the game. The team has been fully funded. It is currently in development, and will launch in the third quarter of 2022. The team was able to concentrate on creating an enjoyable experience for the community.
“The thing that really sets us apart from other projects is that we focus on gaming first,”Vince has been added “A lot of these ‘games’ feel more like work to earns with no enjoyable features that really define a game. We’re putting the play in play to earns.”
The environment is designed to keep players engaged and focusing on a user-first approach. Players have the opportunity to explore new treasures, dungeon attacks, virtual shops, and other activities. No multi-thousand dollar investment, no renting, no monthly subscription costs – just a true gaming experience that allows you to earn as you play.
