Showdown founder Stan Cifka stated in an interview on October 14, 2026, that the sole purpose of using crypto technology in games should be to enhance user experience. He emphasized that blockchain games must at least achieve the quality of Web2 games, as attracting players through speculation, Web3 branding, or simply being built on Solana is no longer viable. Cifka believes that despite crypto's poor reputation among Web2 gamers and some VCs' reluctance to invest, superior products will ultimately drive adoption. He predicts that in two decades, 50% to 99% of games will incorporate blockchain technology, viewing the internet, AI, and crypto as the three major transformations reshaping society.
