Hey gamers, this year’s Blockchain Gaming Association’s survey shows that the world of blockchain-based gaming is gaining more attention from big shots. It seems like more pros are joining the game, from top executives to esports players.

So, what’s new since the survey started in 2021? Well, a lot of things remain the same, like trust issues and user experience problems being some of the main hurdles to get more gamers on board. But, it’s exciting to see that the 2024 survey shows a big increase in high-level folks joining the show and a lot of them have prior gaming industry experience.

According to the details provided in the survey report, a whopping 73.2% of the guys and gals who responded to the survey were in high management positions. These include founders, directors, or C-level positions.

This intense concentration of big shots could be because of more careful budgeting after the whole “crypto winter” drama that came after the non-fungible token (NFT) boom in 2021. But it could also be due to more people from outside the industry bringing their gaming expertise to the table. More than half of the respondents said that gaming is what they’re totally good at, which is a major increase compared to previous years.

Looks like the Web3 gaming sector is gearing up for the big league in 2025. Some pretty heavy hitters like Ubisoft, Square-Enix, CCP, and others are all preparing to make some noise in the mainstream market.

But there are a few bumps on the road. The survey shows that only 6.1% of those taking part were between 18 to 24 years old, which could potentially slow down the building of talent for the future or reaching out to younger audiences.

Oh, and here’s another hiccup – gender diversity. A big chunk of the respondents (82%) were dudes. Heck, this number goes up even higher when we’re talking about CEOs, Founders, Directors, and C-level execs. So there’s definitely some work to do there. All in all, it’s going to be a pretty exciting ride to see how all these developments shape up in the world of blockchain gaming.
