Anyone who has not been living under a rock the last couple of months, has noticed the enormous growth of NFT’s, the massive success of several P2E games and the insatiable hunger for pushing the NFT, Gaming, DeFi and general crypto market forward. Almost everybody, especially if they’re Gen Z, has had some sort of exposure to gaming and digital items. Whether they have played Fortnite or Word of Warcraft once or twice, or are full on NFT collectors, they have accepted this as a part of their world of the future.
So in terms of decentralization, giving ownership to the people and rewarding them for involvement, there has been a major shift in the market where Blockchain based games have taken a huge market share. Take Axie Infinity for example with a (token) valuation of $7.5+ BILLION, now that’s a giant accomplishment, especially if you would compare that to Blizzard from World of Warcraft at around $60 Billion and the Fortnite creator Epic Games at $29 Billion.
At the rate games are being developed to utilize blockchain technology, even including NFT’s, P2E and DeFi there is no denying a massive shift from legacy gaming to blockchain gaming is anticipated by all these parties. The potential is enormous for these companies, as the gaming industry has mastered the art of retaining the attention of gamers whilst capitalizing on this. Now imagine sharing ownership via tokens and NFT’s in addition to giving the ability to actually earn money during play. There is no denying it will be huge in the future and games like Axie Infinity has proven the thesis.
As I’m writing this I hear you thinking: “Well, that’s great. And how does that benefit me?” In a couple of decades everybody that reads this will be able to say they were there when this massive shift took place, but is that enough? There are ways to capitalize on this, but not all of them are easily available. Insert Gamestation, a highly anticipated GameFi Launchpad where everybody is able to gain access to launches and the marketplace of blockchain based games.
It is no secret that the control of the gaming industry lies in the hands of the big enterprises and it is hard for developers to create and successfully launch their games. The gamers don’t seem to have an actual influence and the virtual assets are under limited ownership. And e-sports tournaments, which is a huge market, are mostly controlled by large enterprises. Gamestation plans to offer a solution and safe haven for the stakeholders suffering from these problems.
Using Gamestation developers can crowdfund their game launches and directly tap into the community, which consists of their target market for which they’re building their games for. By doing so, the developers can involve the community in their journey and slowly solidify their relationship as creator and users, jointly having a stake in the success of the game. It might be obvious that the gamers have access to benefits that were not available to them before, such as a voice in the game and control over their in-game assets, which they can loan, borrow, sell of trade. Wait, loan and borrow would indicate some sort of DeFi aspect as well, monetizing on their prized in-game assets. This is something to keep an eye on, because it will take the industry by storm. And the third of the primary solutions Gamestation will be offering is the decentralized game management systems, which are controlled by the gaming community, which opens the possibilities of decentralized game tournaments.
The general outline of a process from ideation to launch in the pitch deck provides great insight in the differences between conventional development and the potential of using Gamestation. See both below and imagine where ultimately the most value will be created for all stakeholders.

Personally, I always consider the saying: ‘Where’s smoke, there’s most likely fire’.
