Maybe when you were a kid you wanted to be an astronaut or ballerina or fireman. Maybe professional gamer was high on your list of dream occupations?
For some, that dream is here, and it arrived somewhat unexpectedly. A game by the name of Axie Infinity is all the rage in Southeast Asia, and it’s very easy to see why. Not only are players making money for their efforts, some of them are making much more for part-time play than those working “regular” jobs full time.
Some quick stats:
- Axie’s revenue is higher than most DeFi protocols combined
- But due to its surge in popularity and play-to-earn mechanics, the barrier of entry is very high, especially for those on a limited budget
- A game that’s been in development for nearly 2 years, KOGs: SLAM! is looking to become Southeast Asia’s next play-to-earn darling by offering free entry
- KOGs is made by RFOX Games, a venture created by RedFOX Labs
- KOGs is one element of a massive, VR-equipped Metaverse that’s now under construction, RFOX VALT
The full article will shed more light but just remember that while the VALT includes play-to-earn through the KOGs ecosystem, there is so much more in store for the Metaverse at large!
