Changes in sales figures on CryptoSlam
Surprisingly, the development team behind Axie Infinity is not the European and American teams that everyone expected, but authentic Vietnamese programmers. Trung Nguyen, CEO of Axie Infinity developer Sky Mavis, and more than 20 developers are all Vietnamese. Most of them got acquainted with international coding competitions and hacker competitions, so their overall strength is acceptable. Echoing the development team base Vietnam, the majority of Axie Infinity users are concentrated in Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
A month ago we were"In Indonesia, a group of people rely on "squeezing" NFT games to "support their families""It is mentioned in the article that with the stagflation of the economy and rising prices, the bottom-level people in Southeast Asia who are unable to cope with the pressure of life have begun to earn extra money through NFT games. Trung Nguyen, the developer behind Axie Infinity, also commented on this: NFT is a way to represent rare species in nature, so it can be well matched with game characters and game assets. In mid-May, CNBC also published an article introducing that Axie Infinity has become popular in the Philippines. Some local people play this game full-time, earning up to hundreds of dollars a month, which is several times the average local salary.

It is understood that Yield Guild is a local game guild in the Philippines dedicated to promoting chain games. It received a round A financing of US$4 million on June 16. Interestingly, Trung Nguyen, the developer behind Axie Infinity, is its main angel investor. It may be the binding relationship of interests that drove Yield Guild to open up a complete chain of promotion, training, lending and sharing in the whole country, preaching to the public like chicken blood.

3. Create multiple records on the chain game track, but the sustainability is doubtful?
It can be said that Axie Infinity has set a number of records in terms of the number of daily active users, the size of the trading market, and the transaction price of a single NFT. Judging from these data, Axie Infinity is also the chain game with the highest degree of breaking the circle. The reasons for its popularity include: rich gameplay, experience on par with traditional games, low cost and high speed brought by the Ronin side chain, self-contained economic model, mechanism design that players can quickly benefit from, and fit for the low-level people in Southeast Asia to earn money. The need for extra money, and the evangelism that pushes the team powerfully.
But obviously, for players, interest incentives are the primary driving force. However, if there is a force majeure such as negative policies or a gap in the NFT trading market, will Axie Infinity’s allure to players be greatly reduced, which will lead to subsequent slowdown in growth, loss of users, and even no one cares about it in the end.
There are currently no answers to these questions, and only time will tell.
However, although many articles over the years are still criticizing the poor experience and high threshold of chain games, it can be seen that most authors have not spent much time experiencing these games. The experience and technical iterations are constantly improving. Compared with most projects, it can be regarded as a qualified game, and it can also be regarded as an important reference for entrepreneurs on this track.
