The State of the Blockchain Gaming Industry

Too Long; Didn't Read

As a “next generation computing platform”, blockchain enables entirely new functionalities in the gaming world: first, the ability to trade digital assets between games, and, secondly, the ability to trade digital assets between gamers directly.
