OneWayBlock is a developer of blockchain-based mobile games. This includes a game called Clash of Coins, a blockchain-based MMORTS (massively multiplayer online real-time strategy) game with support for more than 100,000 players. The company was founded by CEO Stepan Sergeev and CTO Slav Pankratov. OneWayBlock is working to develop blockchain-based games for mobile as a new market; many of the previously developed blockchain-based games were created for desktop. The mobile games market suggests stronger growth for the types of games developed in blockchain so far.
However, one major impediment to mobile blockchain-based games, according to Stepan Sergeev, is the high fees charged by the mobile application stores on any game transaction, which, especially with the popular play-to-earn model, would make blockchain games non-viable until those rules are changed or adapted. One possible challenge to the current model includes the Open App Markets Act. Otherwise, the traditional games industry, a $229 billion industry, which is beginning to open up to the possibilities of blockchain and NFTs, could be an attractive industry to develop into, which OneWayBlock suggests they are doing, as the examples of popular blockchain-based desktop games continue to grow.
