Despite the ups and downs of the crypto market, the Web3 and NFT gaming industry continues to attract the attention of business leaders who are betting on technological innovation to drive the entire ecosystem forward.
On February 24, Trip Hawkins, one of the founders of Electronic Arts (EA), announced that he will join Web3 game startup Games for a Living (GFAL) as co-founder and chief strategist .
GFAL has developed a set of tools that allow the development of Web3 games. Its main goal is to support the creation of AAA video games that can be easily integrated into the blockchain. In a press conference, Hawkins stated that "Web3 is the bridge to the metaverse," which is why he wants to build a metaverse that is more secure and less hackable.
Additionally, the new GFAL executive said he will focus on building an economy in the virtual universe that is as close to the real world as possible. Hawkins is best known in the tech industry as one of Apple's first employees. He then left Apple to start Electronic Arts, a company with more than 13,000 employees and a valuation of $30.85 billion, according to Macrotrends.
Electronic Arts is one of the most successful companies in the video game industry thanks to the launch of The Sims, Battlefield, Need for Speed, Mass Effect, and the sports video games FIFA and Madden NFL. Hawkins’ hiring comes two weeks before the launch of Games for a Living’s native token $GFAL, which is scheduled to launch on March 9 with a starting price of €0.0038.
Those who are interested in purchasing company tokens can purchase them on Seedify, Bit2Me, EnjinStarter, and then wait for other exchanges or the launch of the company's first game "Elements Raiders" which will be released on March 13. Rewards will be provided in the form of NFTs and other tokens.
Hawkins' extensive experience in the video game industry and recent involvement in the Web3 and NFT space could have a significant impact on the state of the nascent crypto gaming space. As GFAL continues to push the boundaries of blockchain gaming and introduce new concepts, the release of its $GFAL token and "Elemental Raiders" game may attract more players and investors into the NFT gaming world.
