Session Name:

Free-To-Play Summit: How Web 3.0 Can Transform Free to Play Games: A 'Habbo Hotel' Case Study

Overview:

The recent introduction of NFTs into video games represents a major shift in the industry toward Web 3.0. This has given rise to the play-to-earn model in games, also revolutionary in allowing players to own in-game items as NFTs with the option of creating and obtaining even more NFTs by playing the game. Using Habbo, a 21+ year old free-to-play virtual community and gaming platform, as an example, this talk will discuss bringing an old, established IP with a global fanbase of 330M registered users into the future of Web 3.0 through blockchain and supplemental NFTs, and how play-to-earn will change the gaming landscape.
