Web3 games incorporate features to boost women's participation

Web3 games focus on building communities, aesthetics, personalization and representation to attract female users, but is it enough?

A recent report from the Entertainment Software Association revealed that 48% of gamers in the United States identify as female. It has also been noted that almost half of all gamers in the world are women. The interest that women have shown in the billion dollar gaming industry is notable. This, combined with the massive growth anticipated by the GameFi industry, is one of the main reasons why a number of Web3 games are designed specifically for female users.

Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, further told Cointelegraph that finance and web3 games are closely intertwined, noting that over time it will naturally appeal to all types of people. in the space.

"This is particularly evident in developing countries where microfinance and more specifically microcredit are predominantly led by women," he noted.
