The popularity of Web3 GameFi cannot be further ignored by the gaming industry. Popular Web2 brands are ready to explore blockchain game technology.
Big Web2 Brands Eye Web3 GameFi, Some Warily
Blockchain gaming took off in 2021 with the rise of Axie Infinity and traditional gaming brands took notice. Since then, the growing Web3 GameFi space has drawn mixed reactions from major players in the traditional gaming industry.
Some game studios want to adhere to the status quo of the gaming ecosystem. Mojang Studios, creators of Minecraft, placed a ban on any Non-Fungible Token (NFT) integration in their games. Steam, the gaming platform developed by Valve with multiple big gaming titles, took off all blockchain-related games from their platform.
These moves prompted gaming studios currently building blockchain-based projects to rethink their Web3 strategy completely.
Steam's point of view is that items have value and they don't allow items that can have real-world value on their platform. While I respect their choice, I fundamentally believe that NFTs and blockchain games are the future. It's why I started this journey with all of you.

Not all gaming brands share the same critical sentiment as Mojang Studios and Steam. Some eSports teams, game publishers, and even popular gaming hardware brands have embraced blockchain game technology - or are at least watching with interest on how GameFi in Web3 will play out in the future.
Hardware Components

Corsair is know for PC components that cater to gamers. They provide quality keyboards, cases, headsets, and everything else that gamers need for a convenient playing experience. The brand has a partnership with Elemon, a PlayAndEarn protocol on BNB Chain. Corsair will have a dedicated land area in the Elemon Metaverse, and even launched game modes that give off Corsair items as prizes.
Gaming Platforms
Epic Games Store is often seen as a competitor to Steam. When the latter announced their position against blockchain gaming, Epic’s CEO made sure the world knew they had a different stance on GameFi.
Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appropriate group. Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance. https://t.co/6W7hb8zJBw

Epic games has a partnership with Blankos Block Party, an open-world multiplayer NFT game which recently launched on the Epic games store. Epic also showed interest in one of Gala games’ projects. Grit, which is currently in development, will also be featured in the Epic games store.
ESports Teams
Competition is what makes games exciting and eSports teams bring that competitive fire to gaming ecosystems. ESports teams like Fnatic, Navi, Team Liquid, and others are household names in the Web2 gaming scene, and now these brands have also partnered with Web3 game Guild of Guardians.
Each team becomes playable characters within Guild of Guardian’s ecosystem.

Talent Agencies Move Into Web3
Influencers, content creators, and streamers play a key role in the gaming ecosystem as well. With the growing presence of blockchain games, talent management agencies are looking to take advantage of the growing Web3 market.

Tier One, one of Asia’s premier Esports entertainment and talent management organizations, is looking to do just that as they venture into the world of Web3.
“The main value we think we will bring in Web3 is our ability to generate and bring traffic through viewership and customer conversion,” Adam Vinluan, Tier One VP of Crypto, told BSCNews. “We want to be able to provide the marketing machinery that we have in Web 2 to bring traffic to the existing and upcoming projects in the Web3 space.”
Game Publishers Also Look at GameFi
Though blockchain gaming disrupts the business model of traditional game publishers, many don’t want to be left behind as the Web3 GameFi trend continues gaining momentum.
Bandai Namco, creators of game titles like Dragon Ball, Monster Rancher, and Digimon, announced it will build its own metaverse with a budget of $130 million. Square Enix, creators of the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts franchisesc released and sold out its NFT trading cards in Japan last year. Two other gaming giants, Ubisoft and Electronic Arts, are exploring blockchain technology as well.

Time Running Out for BNB? Why Investors Are Moving from BNB to $NUGX

Investors are turning to NuggetRush (NUGX), a mining project offering a unique mining adventure game with potential rewards.
TLDR
- BNB faces potentially reduced investor sentiment following Binance Exchange’s links to money-laundering activities.
- Binance’s founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has already resigned.
- NuggetRush (NUGX) offers high entertainment and community collaboration in its mining adventure game.
Binance Exchange has been involved in money laundering scandals as of late, leading to the resignation of its founder as CEO. Analysts say the controversy would likely increase negative sentiment for BNB.
Disappointed BNB holders are now turning to NuggetRush (NUGX), a mining project whose ongoing presale has risen by 30%. NuggetRush (NUGX) offers various rewards, including the opportunity to win real gold.
Yet, can this make it the best option out of available new ICOs? Let’s discuss.
BNB November Gains Undone By Money Laundering Scandal
The bullishness in the crypto market in November increased investor sentiment for several networks. Like many top altcoins, BNB started November with a rally.
Yet, BNB’s investor sentiment dropped sharply following Binance’s controversial involvement in money laundering schemes. On November 28, Changpeng Zhao resigned as CEO of Binance due to negligent behavior toward money laundering activities.
BNB’s decline has undone all its November gains. At the start of November, BNB was trading at $228.00, By November 20, BNB had jumped by 11.24% to $253.64. BNB dropped $229.30 by December 2, a few days after Changpeng’s resignation.
Binance is among the most active exchanges, with a daily trading volume of over $50 billion. Still, the recent controversy around money laundering activities has reduced its social sentiment.
Many investors are pulling their funds off Binance, which has pushed its withdrawals over $1 billion. Analysts expect this trend to continue in the short term. This could worsen BNB’s prospects, dropping it by 15.8% to $213.45.
NuggetRush: Round 3 Growth Stuns P2E Experts.
NuggetRush is a mining game with strong potential to become one of the most popular NFT projects. The game features a mining rush, where players will mine rewards like gold. NuggetRush offers a challenging environment that features the day-to-day life of artisanal miners.
Players will dig shafts, set up tunnels, and use several real-world soil sampling techniques. The main goal is to set up a booming mining business. Players will find and excavate material rewards. In return, NuggetRush (NUGX) will give players NFT characters and mining equipment.
The game will also reward players with in-game currency. Players can then invest this in-game currency into upgrading their player characters and machinery. This gives them higher value, which players can realize on NuggetRush's (NUGX) marketplace.
Finally, NuggetRush offers NFT staking, thus allowing players to earn money from holding their assets. This further increases earning opportunities for NuggetRush members.
NuggetRush's blockchain ICO has grown by 30% since its launch. In the first round of NUGX's presale, its value was $0.010.
By round three, NUGX's value had risen to $0.013, growing by 30%. The next round of NUGX's presale would boost its value by 15.3% to $ 0,018. Furthermore, NUGX will get listed when its value reaches $0.020.
