Best Games for August, Burberry into Blankos & Hashmasks Moves into Gaming - Play to Earn #85
This week: Axie Infinity, Splinterlands, Hashmasks, Gala Games, Sorare and Doctor Who!
August has started and we published our list of games to watch for the month. At the same time lots of gaming projects are making noise. Some launch partnerships with fashion brands, others launch new tools to improve the user experience for content creators. I’ve worked in the gaming industry for more than 10 years, and new developments happened in console cycles. However, with the openness of blockchain technology there’s a constant flow of novelty. Unseen in the history of interactive entertainment. This industry is exciting from a consumer point-of-view, because is rewarding and empowering. But even from a media point-of-view there’s so much happening. This week, again, we hope to bring you all the relevant news, so you are up-to-date about the NFT and play-to-earn gaming industry. Have a nice weekend! — Robert Hoogendoorn
