According to BlockBeats, Big Time Studios announced that its highly anticipated free-to-play multiplayer online action/MMO RPG game, Big Time, has generated an impressive $100 million in revenue, with total player transactions exceeding $230 million. These figures are even more remarkable considering that in the past 30 days, Big Time's NFT marketplace has surpassed well-known NFT markets such as Axie Infinity and Immutable X. Although Big Time is currently in its preseason phase, which is an invite-only closed testing period, these numbers demonstrate the huge demand for high-quality NFT games and thriving, stable economies. Player retention is at the core of the game's appeal. Two key factors contribute to their high player retention rate. First, users love Big Time's intense combat and dynamic gameplay, which combines action RPG elements like Diablo with the vast exploration realms of MMOs like World of Warcraft. Players engage in challenging battles through procedurally generated dungeons, complete quests, and collect valuable resources needed to create valuable non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The second factor is their unique fair token distribution method. This approach ensures that only players can collect, refine, craft, and upgrade items using the game's native token, $BIGTIME. This method allows players to accelerate crafting times and access Prestige Portals, which increase the drop rate of collectible items in the game. The only purchasable item is Time Crystals, a non-crypto premium currency used for in-game activities such as crafting, upgrading gear, charging items, or accessing premium content. By prioritizing the player community, Big Time Studios has opened the door to fair competition for all players through its fair in-game token distribution method. Tokens are collected through in-game activities, preventing non-players from buying their way to success or hoarding NFTs. This commitment to fairness and inclusivity sets Big Time apart in both the NFT and traditional gaming industries. The successful preseason launch of Big Time continues to break down doubts about the viability of NFT games, setting new standards for feasibility. The game's entertainment value and economic incentives have attracted a large number of active players, dispelling skepticism and showcasing the immense potential of NFT games. Looking ahead, new features and updates will further enhance the immersive gaming experience and ensure that Big Time continues to lead the NFT gaming industry.
