# Why we creating a game?

The gaming industry is reported to generate more than $91 billion in global revenue in 2017 and is expected to surpass the mark set by the movie and music industries combined. This figure could grow to an estimated $118 billion by 2020, driven largely by mobile and online gaming. The potential for growth in this market segment alone continues to remain strong given that mobile gaming on smartphones or tablets is much less costly, and therefore more accessible, than console gaming. Additionally, other emerging technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are predicted to have an even greater impact on the industry in the years ahead, meaning producing even higher revenue totals.\

**Reasons why we are integrating a play 2 earn game to Web AI ecosystem are the following:**\ <br>

1. Increases usage and familiarity of the cryptocurrency: Creating a play-to-earn game can help get people acquainted with your cryptocurrency. This could lead to more people getting involved in trading or investing in the token, increasing its popularity.
2. Rewards users for interaction and engagement with the currency: Users will have an incentive to stay engaged with the token by playing the game and earning rewards. This keeps users from getting bored or disinterested and leads to increased user growth in the crypto space.
3. Offers a way for creative expression: Games can act as an outlet for creative expression, allowing developers to create unique experiences with their tokens that don't exist anywhere else. This could help differentiate your cryptocurrency from other competing tokens.
4. Potentially increase adoption of new technology: Games offer an accessible way for users to become acquainted with new technology such as blockchain platforms and other services related to cryptocurrencies. This could lead to new customers that may not otherwise be aware or interested in cryptocurrencies before experiencing a game created around them.
