Vietnamese becoming wary of play-to-earn games
Van Thanh of Can Tho City said he invested US$2,000 in five accounts in Axie Infinity, a play-to-earn game with a goal of winning smooth love potions (SLP), an in-game currency that can be exchanged for real money. "SLP traded at around 0.02 a token. With five accounts, I could earn 800-1,200 SLP a day, or around $15-25. I expected to break even after two months." But by May the price of SLP had fallen sharply, and a token is now worth around $0.0056, a steep decline from the peak of $0.4 it reached last July. "Now I earn the same amount of SLP, but only make $3-5 a day. I want to quit because what I earn is not worth the effort. "But I will keep the SLPs I have earned and hope prices rise later so that I can sell them and recover my losses." Nguyen Mai of the southern Binh Duong Province spent $1,000 on a play-to-earn game named BombCrypto last December. Its currency, Bcoin, traded at $4 a token, but has dived to around $0.04 now.
