Panelists [Wesley Ellul](https://iq.wiki/wiki/wesley-ellul) (Quizando), Roiss, Enrico Lugnan (Polyverse), and moderator Eugene Shakula (yard[hub]) emphasized that [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) can simplify asset ownership for gamers, but the current focus on speculative earning models, such as \"play-to-earn,\" has alienated traditional gamers. They highlighted that games should focus on enjoyable gameplay, with [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) elements like [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) being seamlessly integrated, similar to existing in-game economies. Issues like [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) fees, inflationary token models, and investor mistrust of new [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) were cited as hurdles to broader adoption. The panelists agreed that a successful transition requires shifting focus from speculation to sustainable, fun gaming experiences while educating users on security and avoiding overcomplicated terminology.

They agreed that future success hinges on prioritizing enjoyable gameplay over earning mechanisms, creating better onboarding processes for non-[crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) users, and improving scalability. Legal and regulatory hurdles were also identified as significant challenges, with the hope that indie developers could lead innovation, though they acknowledged that larger companies might eventually dominate the space.
