👉CARV Research: Is Generative AI Poised to Become the Dominant Force in the Gaming Industry?
With global growth of USD 922 million in 2022 and a CAGR of 23.3%, the market is expected to generate incremental revenue of USD 7,105 million by 2032. AI-generated assets can create new game assets and optimize game performance while reducing costs. AI-powered generative tools also allow for user-generated content and Web3 gaming, which could further optimize income distribution between creators and platforms while providing a unique user experience.
👉Bankless: Tokenizing Our Desires: Has Web3 altered our brains?
The use of blockchain technology allows for the monetization of every aspect of culture, from your home to your relationships. It goes on to suggest that this may represent a new kind of crass commercialization that many find offensive in the modern era of anti-consumerism. Blockchain technology is creating new kinds of ownership that allow creators and users to monetize their social capital, which may be a second "Great Enabling."
👉Naavik: Digging Into Creator Revenue Attribution
The trend of video game creators founding studios or participating in game projects is on the rise, allowing them to diversify their income and keep player engagement at high levels. Many developers have been successful in generating buzz through organic creator interest, with data showing that 40% of players who used a creator code had never made an in-game purchase before. Nexus also discovered that players using a creator code had nearly twice the LTV of an average paying player. Retention rates were also higher for players using creator codes, and the impact on retention is seen to be sizable.
