The document discusses 3 reasons why the video game industry is bound for the blockchain: 1) It is currently impossible to search across all gaming platforms to see what games exist and who is playing them. 2) Undiscovered developers have a difficult time getting recognized. 3) Players do not truly "own" the assets they earn in games.

3 Reasons The Video Game Industry Is Bound For The Blockchain
The blockchain is the latest tech craze to impact the finance, retail, medicine, insurance and gambling industries. It makes sense that gaming would be next.
With the existence of VR, AR, A.I. and smart technology, there isnt any game demographic these days that isnt covered. There are over 2.2 billion active gamers in the world, and 47% of them are spending money.
There are three reasons to merge blockchain technology with the gaming industry . . .
its currently impossible to search across all gaming platforms to see exactly what games exist and who is playing them/creating them. Its also very tough for undiscovered developers to get recognized, and players dont really own any of the assets they earn. (1) It's impossible to search across all current gaming platforms (2) Undiscovered developers can't get recognized (3) Players dont really own the assets they earn from games.
Lack of a Universal Search It can be extremely overwhelming and stressful to search for the next game to play. Because there are so many options, its easy to just stick with what you know. There is no single, efficient, universal way to search/sort all games by genre, developer, or title
Overstuffed Market Most users keep going back to whats familiar, so developers of unknown games might spend their entire careers going unrecognized.
Unsatisfying User experience Users never really own anything they earn because of the creation aspect of intellectual property law. Gamers know their virtual items would have tremendous value if traded in the real world.
Because the blockchain has the ability to create an itemized database like Netflix or IMDB, it can easily maintain a dynamic, searchable database. In addition to helping users search for their next experience, it could help developers form a much-needed fan base.
Tokenizing games will also motivate players to play towards an end-goal because digital assets will finally have real-world physical properties and values. Developers will then gain notoriety as more users play their games.
A rewards-based program where gamers and developers can monetize off their gaming and development skills is what everyone has been dreaming about for years.
