# Making Blockchain Games Sustainable

Many blockchain games today lean heavily on financial incentives, which often leads to two main problems: play-to-earn and pay-to-win mechanics. Play-to-earn games can create a cycle where players focus on extracting value until the market becomes oversaturated, leaving little to no value left. On the other hand, pay-to-win games can alienate players by giving financial advantages to those who can afford to invest more, creating an uneven playing field.

Warped Universe emphasizes a game-first approach, avoiding the pitfalls of play-to-earn and pay-to-win mechanics that often lead to repetitive gameplay and player alienation. Instead of prioritizing financial incentives, we focus on crafting enjoyable experiences that resonate with players and foster genuine engagement. Here, blockchain features enhance the game rather than overshadow it, fostering a community where everyone can thrive without needing to pay for advantages or focus on trying to extract monetary value.&#x20;
