Online Games Break Free from Corporate Control with Autonomous Worlds.

Developers are creating blockchain-based games that are owned and controlled by a decentralized network of people interacting with a blockchain, rather than a single, centralized entity. These games are built on smart contracts linked to the Ethereum blockchain and are designed to prevent any one entity from controlling a world's fate, while also offering new freedom for users to customize and expand on a game's design. These games are pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology and could make blockchains cheaper and easier to use, making ideas like mainstream decentralized financial services and even more general-purpose applications, like blockchain-based organizations, more feasible.
