Overview: Proper Blockchain application to games requires understanding and dealing with open-market/free-floating economic principles. Critical elements such as value accrual and scarcity can not be evaluated on an individual-basis and familiar metrics around retention and conversion start to serve a smaller image of the health of a project.nnIn this presentation we'll review the state of Blockchain game economic models, some familiar patterns being utilized, and some examples of game design principles that can be used to shore up the need to maintain a healthy game where the value of goods, items, and even the currency itself is defined by the players and not the developers.
