Can tradable game assets convince players to stay? I think gameplay itself still has a lot to do with it. Being able to trade may make it easier for buyers and sellers to handle items, but if those items aren't woven into the game's objectives, even a smooth resale process may not give players another reason to come back.
Rolling 24 hours, $IMX -0.14%. Rolling 24 hours, $GALA +0.57%. Rolling 24 hours, $AXS -1.26%. These are changes in the quotes for three spot assets—not proof of player numbers, game revenue, or demand for items. The figures move in different directions, but that doesn't show whether the three products are performing differently or similarly.
Asset trading addresses “how to resell”; having fun addresses “why start another round.” There's no need to equate the two. Trading may make things more convenient for buyers and sellers, but whether it actually helps depends on whether the items support gameplay and whether the rules are clear. At present, there are no verifiable app announcements or usage data directly tied to these three assets. I won't make up project updates, engagement figures, or business developments, or pretend I've tried them myself.
Rather than guessing how a game is doing from token prices, I'd rather ask: setting rewards and monetization aside, what reason do players have to come back?
