HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 20 May 2022 – Playing video games is an investment nowadays as players can play to earn throughout the process. Hong Kong’s first blockchain game guild “Guild 22” has begun operation and 22 May has been scheduled as “Guild 22 Day”. The guild is launching a three-day event from 20 to 22 May at Metacade located at Russell Street, Causeway Bay.
The event “Guild 22 Blockchian Game-Fi Experience Days” is Guild 22’s first large-scale public function. Ronald Chiu, founder of Guild 22 and Hong Kong’s Game-Fi pioneer, will attend the event to introduce the guild’s roadmap to gaming enthusiasts and offers free consulting services about cryptocurrencies, blockchain, Game-Fi, and NFT to the public.Game-Fi has become very popular in recent years. Guild 22, officially established in December 2021, consists of a team of experts boasting in-depth knowledge and background in cryptocurrencies and finance, and a group of passionate young video game players. So far, Guild 22 has invested more than HK$10 million in programme development and digital assets. It also strives to attract like-minded players to become members, hoping to expand the game player circle.Currently, Guild 22 offers a variety of popular games, including Axie Infinity, Pegaxy, Cyball, CEBG, DefiLand, Splinterlands, STEPN, to name a few. It has a deep understanding of the blockchain and Game-Fi economy.Ronald Chiu, one of the founders of Guild 22 and pioneer of Hong Kong’s Game-Fi, said, “The play-to-earn model stemmed from the Southeast Asian market with many players there earning an income up to three times more than their jobs. Due to differences in living standards, play-to-earn has not yet made a big impact in Hong Kong. However, as down-to-earth game STEPN has gained popularity, in addition to AAA games that are set to be rolled out, many advanced gamers start focusing on the combination of the traditional gaming industry and the blockchain technology, bringing economic changes to the gaming industry.”It’s unimaginable to earn more than HK$10,000 a month as blockchain games gain popularity across the globeRonald unveils that there will be several pillars when it comes to the future development of Guild 22, including game testing, gamified financial promotion, and game player community maintenance. “We believe that the current gamified financial market is only in its infancy. It is expected that it will become more mature and further consolidated in the upcoming two years. As Hong Kong’s first blockchain game guild, Guild 22 can connect traditional gamers to gamified finance. Since blockchain games have gradually integrated into people’s lives, Hong Kong players can learn more about the evolution and development of gamified finance and blockchain games through Guild 22 in the future,” he said.Meanwhile, the market size of blockchain games grew from zero to HK$19.5 billion in 2021. Ronald predicts that it could grow to HK$78 billion by 2023. Taking the blockchain game STEPN as an example, players only need to buy a pair of digital asset sneakers (about US$1,000 to US$1,200) in advance to earn about US$60 a day. All calculations are based on the gamers’ stamina and in-game digital currency every day. They can earn about US$1,860 a month.Guild 22 has scheduled 22 May as the Guild 22 day. It also launched its first large-scale public event “Guild 22 blockchain game play-to-earn trail” from 20 to 22 May. During the event, Ronald will introduce the guild’s plans and play-to-earn tips to games in collaboration with Kimi Chiu. Professionals will also teach the visitors to establish a crypto wallet on-site, bringing them to the Game-Fi journey.Kimi also says that the play-to-earn feature greatly benefits gamers. She comments, “As a gamer, we can earn rewards and income from the games. We can even win a fair amount of the right to vote. Thereby, we can affect the development of the game. I also heard that I can earn more money by working after joining the guild. Moreover, the props and equipment in the game are all unique NFT assets. They are not only collectibles but also can be traded in the market to earn extra income. Who said that playing games is a waste of time?”Gamers who come to experience can try the P2E shootout game EV.IO on the spot. By using their shooting skills, they have a chance to win the “Guild 22 Jackpot” of 500 USDT. Gamers will also be awarded an NFT after becoming a Guild 22 member. Moreover, they can also participate in the Axie Infinity Challenge hosted by HKGameFi and compete for the prize money worth $1000 USDT offered by Guild 22. Gamers who are interested in learning about Guild 22 and getting to know Game-Fi should not miss this opportunity.Guild 22 Blockchain Game-Fi Experience DaysDate： 20 to 22 May, 2022Time： 12noon to 9pmLocation： Metacade, No.38 Russell Street, Causeway Bay – Published and distributed with permission of Media-Outreach.com.
