Crypto-backed money-making games have steadily declined since the beginning of the year, with many believing these projects are doomed.
Axie Infinity is a typical example of a game project that makes gamers indifferent. The project hit an all-time high following a boom in 2021, marked by a year-to-date decline in the world of Axie Infinity.
Ecosystem metrics continue to decline
according to axis growth data, the game project recorded significant declines this year across many growth metrics. This is largely due to the crypto winter, which has plagued the market as a whole and the project’s failure to sustain gamer interest.
As of August 1, the platform had 260,246 daily active users of gamers. This is a far cry from the all-time high of 2,718,810 active users recorded on November 15, 2021.
