Web3 games differ from traditional video games in several key ways. First, they are built on blockchain technology, which allows for decentralized control and true ownership of in-game assets. Players can buy, sell, and trade these assets on various marketplaces, and they often have real-world value. Additionally, Web3 games may feature play-to-earn mechanics, where players can earn cryptocurrency or NFTs by playing the game, providing financial incentives that are typically absent in traditional games.
