While game developers seem to hate the idea of ​​Web3 coming to games, players who participate in gaming tournaments for a living are more open to trying out blockchain gaming.

Pro Dota 2 player Erik Engel for Gaimin Gladiators, better known by his gamer tag "Tofu", expressed his thoughts on Web3 and how he can help players in a statement sent to Cointelegraph.

Engel, who has won over $400,000 in various major tournaments in the Dota 2 competitive gaming scene, said it was refreshing to see companies pulling "more games than just games." He explained:

"The idea of ​​blockchain gaming is still a new and growing topic for most of us, and it's something I want to explore more in the future. If it improves the game and makes it even more rewarding, then it's definitely something to watch in the future."

Additionally, Engel thinks Web3 has features that "seem to be really good for the gamer" and said he's excited to see what the companies come up with in the future.

Pro Rocket League player Max Ng, known by his player name "Maxeew", also echoed Engel's sentiments. According to Ng, he really liked the idea of ​​games being developed differently. He said:

"The idea behind adding new technologies and features is something almost any game can benefit from, especially when it comes to something that can reward users' time and expense for the game itself."

Ng said that while he's looked into blockchain-based games before, he's never tried them personally. However, the player said he will start getting into it once the busy competitive playing season is over.
