Investors in GameFi are now putting fun over money, according to a survey.

About half of the investors got into the GameFi space in the beginning to make money, but 89% of those investors lost money in Crypto Winter 2022.

GameFi is the combination of gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi). It attracts investors who choose projects based on how they can be used instead of how much money they can make.

GenZ investors and gamers are interested in the GameFi ecosystem.

Because of this, it is a good place for many first-time investors to start.

A ChainPlay survey that 2428 GameFi investors took part in showed that 75% of them only got into crypto because of GameFi.

About half of the investors got into the GameFi space because they thought they could make money. However, Crypto Winter 2022 killed 89% of GameFi investors, and 62% of them lost more than 50% of their profits.

But investors think that the main reason they lost money was because of how the in-game economy was set up.

In line with this feeling, the survey found that investors around the world spent an average of 2.5 hours per day on GameFi in 2022. This is down 43% from last year, when they spent an average of 4.4 hours on GameFi.

Some of the biggest things that keep people from investing in new GameFi projects are the fear of rug pulls and Ponzi schemes, as well as bad graphics.

So, 44% of investors think that traditional gaming companies can help GameFi grow if they get involved.

Also, when it comes to future GameFi projects, 81% of GameFi investors are moving away from the traditional way of thinking and putting fun over making money because they want to have fun in games.

A DappRadar report confirmed that blockchain gaming and the Metaverse were the ecosystems that were least hurt by the Terra (LUNA) mess.

A steady flow of institutional investment was also seen in both blockchain gaming and the Metaverse. This shows that many top companies think that both of these areas could have strong economic growth in the future.

At Meta Connect On October 11, Meta Quest Pro Is Expected To Be Released

After Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a picture of himself wearing a headset that hadn't been announced yet, it's almost certain that the much-anticipated premium follow-up to the popular Meta Quest 2 headset will be the best one yet. It also says, "See you on October 11 at Meta Connect."Earlier, when he was on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Zuckerberg said that the gadget, also known as Project Cambria, would be shown to the public in October. Even though we now know the exact date, the keynote time is still up in the air. Zuckerberg showed off the headset's most important features, like face and eye tracking, during his visit to JRE last week. With these traits, conversations in the Metaverse will seem more real. Users will be able to "kind of look at each other" in virtual reality, he said, adding that when people are together, nonverbal communication is more important than spoken communication. He said that technology will be made so that you...

Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, announced today, December 19, 2022, that councils in England will get almost £60 billion for the next financial year. This is to make sure that councils can continue to provide important frontline services. The settlement gives councils in England an extra £5 billion, which is a 9% increase over what they got last year. This shows that the government continues to support councils and public services in the face of financial pressures. The agreement for next year includes a one-time Funding Guarantee that makes sure every council in England will get at least a 3% increase in core spending power before any local decisions are made about council tax.

This is in line with the promise made in the election campaign to protect local taxpayers from too much tax hikes. Social care i...
