As the play-to-earn gaming industry continues to evolve, the recent addition of Electronic Arts (EA) co-founder Jeff Burton to Canadian blockchain gaming company P2Earn’s Board of Advisors marks a significant milestone. Burton’s experience, combined with P2Earn’s innovative approach to gaming, is set to shape the future of the gaming landscape.
The P2Earn Model: A Platform for Gamers and NFTs
P2Earn is a publicly-listed Web3 gaming guild that aims to provide gamers with an online platform, equipment, and access to video game NFTs in exchange for a percentage of their winnings. By leveraging blockchain technology and offering a unique business model, P2Earn is working to make play-to-earn gaming more accessible and sustainable for the wider gaming community.
With the planned launch of the platform on the Ethereum scaling network, Polygon, by the end of Q2 2023, P2Earn is betting on a brighter future for the play-to-earn gaming industry. This comes after the rise and fall of Axie Infinity, a monster-battling game that saw billions of dollars worth of NFT sales at its peak but experienced an economic collapse in early 2022.
Jeff Burton: A Gaming Industry Legend
Jeff Burton, a veteran in the video game industry and co-founder of gaming giant Electronic Arts (EA), brings a wealth of experience and insight to P2Earn. As Chairman of the Board of Advisors, Burton’s vision aligns with P2Earn’s mission of empowering players to earn a share of the profits through gameplay. He believes that the concept of play-to-earn gaming has the potential to create social mobility and establish a new economy.
Burton’s interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology dates back to at least 2017, when he served on the Board of Advisors for BitDegree, a platform offering crypto courses. He is also currently the Chairman of the Board of Advisors for the Lithuania-based crypto game Engines of Fury, which is in beta and labels itself as a “MOBA RPG.”
The Road Ahead: Expanding the P2Earn Gaming Guild
As P2Earn prepares for its full public launch, the company plans to expand its advisory board under Burton’s leadership, bringing in additional experts from the gaming industry. P2Earn CEO Alex Lineton expressed his excitement about Burton joining the company and highlighted the importance of his experience and network for the next growth phase.
P2Earn’s vision for a sustainable blockchain gaming ecosystem, combined with Jeff Burton’s expertise, has the potential to shape the future of play-to-earn gaming. As the industry’s fastest-growing sub-sector, play-to-earn gaming is expected to reach a valuation of USD 3.7 billion by 2028. P2Earn’s innovative approach to gaming and the support of a gaming industry legend like Burton could be the catalyst to propel the play-to-earn model to new heights, creating a more engaging and rewarding gaming experience for players worldwide.
