P2E is not dead, but are game publishers looking for alternatives?

From what I've heard according to a panel at the NFT.NYC 2023 game publishers and developers are exploring alternatives to replace it.

According to the CEO of gaming platform OP Games, Chase Freo, companies that branded themselves as P2E are shifting their strategy amid the crypto prices downturn.

Axie Infinity's shift in some of its flagship titles is an example.

Which ones do you play and what do you think about this shift?

I am aware that the main goal of devs and gaming companies is now to look for play and fun, and sometimes earn or swap, adding that players can still earn tokens and rewards, but publishers and developers are more focused on being sustainable and flexible. That's why I'm amazed at how MagicCraft is developed.

More companies right now are trying to make sure that the game has a really good core loop that enables these players to put back whatever they earn into the game.

They also highlighted that the Web3 gaming industry is seeing more tangible products on the market following years of development. on which I must agree.
