Play-to-earn games, also known as P2E, offer players rewards for their time and effort in the game, creating content and interacting with other players. While some games have adopted the terms "play and earn" or "web3," the concept remains the same: the ability to own game items as NFTs and earn while playing. This can be through an initial investment or free-to-play options. The world of blockchain gaming covers a wide range of genres, from web games to FPS to MMOs. Keeping track of these games can be challenging, but we're here to help.
