Innovative game developer Big Time Studios has revealed that its much-awaited free-to-play multiplayer action/MMO RPG, Big Time, has achieved a remarkable milestone, generating $100 million in revenue. According to the team, players have transacted over $230 million in total volume, all without the sale of a single token.
Ari Meilich, CEO of Big Time Studios, emphasized the critical role of player-focused economies in the success of Web3 gaming. He stated, “Success in Web3 gaming hinges on creating compelling experiences with a player-focused economy at its core.”
Big Time seamlessly blends the adrenaline-pumping combat and dynamic gameplay of action RPGs like Diablo with the expansive, immersive worlds of MMOs like World of Warcraft. Players assume the role of time travelers, plucked from the final moments of the cosmos to embark on a monumental crusade for humanity’s survival. As reality unravels and epochs collide, players fight to preserve the rich tapestry of human history, with all its triumphs and tribulations.
In-game, players engage in epic battles within procedurally generated dungeons, completing objectives, and gathering vital resources for crafting valuable virtual goods represented by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Notably, no crypto tokens are sold, and all collectibles are acquired through gameplay, offering a unique blend of gaming excitement and digital collectibles innovation. The only items available for purchase are Time Crystals, the game’s non-crypto premium currency used for various in-game activities.
Meilich highlighted the studio’s commitment to a player-centric gaming universe, evident in their fair launch strategy, which excludes tokens for the team or investors. This dedication to fairness and inclusivity ensures that rewards are earned solely through gameplay, leveling the playing field for all players.
The success of Big Time’s Preseason launch dispels doubts about the feasibility of Web3 games, setting new standards for the industry. Its entertainment value and economic incentives have captivated a highly engaged player base, underscoring the immense potential of Web3 gaming.
Looking forward, Big Time Studios remains focused on delivering immersive gaming experiences, with new features and updates in the pipeline to further enhance gameplay and solidify Big Time’s position as a leader in the Web3 gaming landscape.
