Play-to-earn falling out of favor after ‘massive shift in priority’ — BGA survey
Gameplay improvements will be the biggest driver of blockchain gaming adoption in 2023, according to a survey from the Blockchain Gaming Alliance.
Zwiers said that P2E games have “proven themselves unsustainable” but showed the need for the development of the next generation of more advanced blockchain gaming dynamics.

Sorry, but this makes little sense. The report seems to confuse "P2E" with a particular style of game play, yet its alleged failure is both a gameplay and an economic concern. P2E is an investment with activities that may generate a profit. Poor and tedious games can still be popular if their yields are high. Poor tokenomics, plus a falling market, mean that yields have dropped. Making the games more interesting will do nothing to solve the crap tokenomics issue.
let us not forget that the "obvious", yet dumb, idea of burning tokens comes precisely from online games that never bothered to have a decent economic model. With the inevitable inflation in game tokens, and hence in-game prices, the simplistic solution was to just burn away some of the supply. When such tokens are actually worth money that becomes a dumb option - yet still popular among the innocent.
Game improvements and better tokenomics should be developed together. This latter issue is mentioned in the report, but the headlines seem to ignore this.
interesting report, altho specific to blockchain gaming devs, so a lot of it is about perceived sources of funding and income for them.
That too many mere humans find crypto platforms "confusing" remains a problem - what they really mean is that they are extreme-pros at losing their keys!
