In a survey commissioned by Coda Labs, 6,921 people from five countries were asked a series of questions to determine their perception of crypto, NFTs, and Web3 gaming.A new survey commissioned by blockchain entertainment provider Coda Labs suggests that despite the huge amount of money being poured into Web3 gaming, traditional gamers are still yet to warm up to crypto or NFTs and have little interest in Web3 games.According to the survey, <a href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/gamers-pointed.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">gamers pointed</a> to practical barriers as their main reason for shying away from <a href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/web3.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3 </a>games, with gamers often not knowing how they might work and lacking a <a href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockchain </a>wallet.The <a href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/survey.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Survey </a>found that only 12% of non<a href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto-gamers.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">-crypto gamers</a> have tried <a href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/web3.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3 </a>games, while just 15% of those yet to try were interested in doing so in the future.The survey pointed to play-to-earn (P2E) as the most recognized term associated with Web3 games, and crypto earnings as the most commonly perceived benefit of playing them.When these two factors are considered in tandem, the findings reinforce what many industry players have been saying recently — that gamers are more interested in playing a "fun game" than the tokenomics associated with many Web3 games.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/1063a569054b4f60bda1bc0783c988a6.png">Respondents’ perception of the main challenges associated with Web3 games.
