Unlock the future of Web3 games! 7XM Bangladesh breaks down “Own-to-Earn” & “Play-and-Own” models. Understand true digital ownership in Bangladesh’s gaming scene.

P2E এর বাইরে: ‘ওন-টু-আর্ন’ এবং ‘প্লে-অ্যান্ড-ওন’ মডেলগুলি বুঝুন।

Hey everyone, Troy here from 7XM Bangladesh! I know many of you are curious about Web3 games, and maybe the first thing that comes to mind is “Play-to-Earn” (P2E). It’s that exciting idea where you can actually earn money or cool digital stuff just by playing games.

But here’s a little secret: Web3 gaming is much bigger and more interesting than just earning from every click. Sometimes, focusing too much on “earning” can even make the game less fun, right? We’ve seen games where people just play to earn, and it feels more like a job.

Today, I want to show you the next big steps in Web3 gaming. We’re going to talk about two new ideas that are making Web3 games even better and more sustainable: “Own-to-Earn” and “Play-and-Own.” These ideas are changing how we think about owning things in games and making the games themselves more enjoyable for us, the players!

A Quick Look Back: What is P2E (And Why We Need More)

First, let’s quickly remember “Play-to-Earn.” Basically, it means you play a game, do tasks, win battles, and get rewards like special game money (crypto tokens) or unique items (NFTs). You can then trade these items for real money outside the game.

While P2E sounds great, sometimes it has a few problems. The value of those game tokens can go up and down a lot, like a rollercoaster. Also, if everyone is only playing to earn, the game might not be as fun anymore – it might just feel like endless grinding. That’s why smart game makers are now looking at different ways.

Meet “Own-to-Earn” (O2E): Earning Just by Owning!

Okay, let’s talk about “Own-to-Earn” (O2E). Imagine earning something from a game without needing to play it all day long. Sounds nice, right? O2E is all about owning special digital items (usually NFTs) that can give you rewards over time.

How it Works (Simple Examples):

• “Staking” Your NFTs: Think of it like putting money in a bank account and earning interest. In O2E games, you might “stake” (which means temporarily lock) your special NFT character or item. While it’s “staked,” it quietly earns you rewards – maybe more game money or even new items – without you doing anything else!
  • Example: You own a special “hero” NFT in a game. You “stake” it, and every day, it earns you 10 game tokens. Easy!
• Owning Virtual Land (Metaverse): This is a big one! In some Web3 games and virtual worlds (often called the metaverse), you can buy plots of virtual land. Just like real land, you can build things on it, rent it out, or even charge a small fee for people to visit. Your land can then “earn” for you.
  • Example: You buy a piece of virtual land. You build a cool shop on it, and players visiting your shop give you a small fee. Your land is earning!
• Passive Resource Generators: Some NFTs are designed to automatically create valuable things in the game, like a digital “factory” or a “mine” that constantly produces resources for you.

So, with O2E, the earning comes from what you own and how valuable it is within the game’s world. It’s less about constant playing and more about smart collecting and managing your digital ownership within the game. It helps make games more stable too.

Discover “Play-and-Own” (P&O): Game Fun First, Ownership Always!

Now for “Play-and-Own” (P&O). This is probably the most exciting one for us, the actual gamers! P&O games focus on making the game super fun and engaging first. The awesome part? Everything cool you get or create in the game – your rare sword, your unique character, your custom outfit – you truly own it.

What Makes P&O Special:

• Real Digital Ownership: When you earn a legendary weapon in a P&O game, it’s not just a line of code on the game company’s server. It’s a real NFT game asset that belongs to you. You can keep it, sell it, or even trade it with other players freely, without needing the game company’s permission.
  • Example: You spend hours beating a tough boss to get a super rare helmet. In a P2E game, that helmet is yours as an NFT. You can show it off, or if you want, you can sell it to another player who really wants it.
• Player-Driven Economies: Because players own their items, they can create their own markets inside or outside the game. This makes the gaming community feel more connected and powerful.
• Focus on Fun First: The main reason you play a P&O game is because it’s genuinely enjoyable – the story is good, the gameplay is fun, and playing with friends is awesome. The fact that you own your items just adds to the experience, it’s not the only reason to play.

P&O brings back the joy of gaming while giving players real power. It’s about enjoying the game and having true ownership of your hard-earned in-game assets. This is where many believe the real future of gaming lies.

Why These New Models are Great for Us (Especially in Bangladesh!)

• More Stable Games: O2E and P&O models tend to create game economies that are more stable and fair. They’re less about quick cash and more about long-term value and fun.
• You Have More Power: With true digital ownership, you, the player, have more control over your game items. This is a big win for gamers everywhere!
• Gaming Becomes Fun Again: These models help bring the “game” back into “Web3 gaming.” It’s about enjoying the experience, collecting cool stuff, and being part of a vibrant community, not just trying to make a chore out of it.
• What This Means for Bangladesh: For us here in Bangladesh, understanding these newer models is super important. It means we can look beyond the initial hype and pick Web3 games that offer real fun, lasting value, and a great community. It’s about being smart and choosing where we spend our time and passion in this exciting new world!
