The popularity of mini-games linked to social media is reshaping the gaming landscape, pushing traditional long-format games to the side. Blockchain technology, particularly integration with Telegram’s Ton network, plays a pivotal role by providing easy access to crypto rewards, making gaming more engaging for users.
The trend towards casual gaming indicates a significant revenue growth in mini-games, especially in Western Europe, emphasizing how players prefer quick, lighthearted experiences. This shift raises concerns for traditional game developers as casual mini-games continue to flourish, leading to potential declines in player engagement with complex, immersive titles.
