### 1. Describe in your own words the main Advantages and Disadvantages of NFT Games about other types of games
NFT games are well known by many in the cryptocurrency world and are known as blockchain games. Gamers and traders often use NFT as one of their daily activities in playing games and making profits. NFT games are one of the innovations in the blockchain ecosystem that are very beneficial for people who participate. Every activity and transaction that occurs will be recorded and stored in the blockchain system.
Until now, many types of NFT have been created and users seem very enthusiastic about this development. It has very good potential and quality. The presence of NFT games in the market can be found and accessed easily on the internet. For some people, NFT investment is also very profitable in various sectors of daily life. In this case the advantages and disadvantages of NFT games are as follows:
#### Advantages
- Ownership
Ownership of NFT assets is absolute. The user owns the NFT assets as investment and has full control over all matters relating to the assets. Every transaction and data requires valid consent from the user because playing NFT games runs on a blockchain system. While other types of online games often sell something that is needed in the game just to make the game more interesting. Even though it is not really owned by the user and can only be used when playing games.
- Security
NFT games that run on the blockchain system have increased the security of every transaction and user data. Every assets earned and invested will be guaranteed and make the possibility of losing very small. While other types of online games have a low level of security in terms of keeping something that has been stored by the user in the game. Each game has a new update aimed at improving the system and improving the quality of the game.
- Profit
NFT games allow users to generate profits in the form of NFT assets that can be used as investments. Each different NFT game has its own system and scheme in terms of generating profits from the results of playing games in different ways. While other types of online games cannot generate profits because they are temporary and only run specifically for playing games. Even some games drain the user's money to buy various items to make the game more interesting.
- Trade
NFT assets owned by users can be traded in the market to get to know and gain experience in the world of trading crypto assets. The development of the digital finance world has entered various sectors of daily life and this will be very helpful. While other types of online games do not have assets that can be traded in any market. The presence of the game is only intended for users who enjoy all kinds of games on the internet to entertain themselves and pass the time.
#### Disdvantages
- Adoption
NFT games have low adoption rates globally because they are only part of the blockchain ecosystem innovation aimed at users who are already familiar with the blockchain and are interested in participating. While other types of online games have a high adoption rate because of the types that are abundant on the internet and are used by all people from children to adults around the world.
- Experience
The presence of NFT games which are still relatively new is an obstacle that makes them still have little experience in terms of attracting user interest. Often users go in and out because they do not get comfort and satisfaction. While other types of online games have a great experience in terms of pleasing users, make it routine activity, and making them always needed by many people.
- Quality
NFT games are still not able to provide good quality and have not been able to compete with the quality of other online games. Often users are faced with poor graphics and boring game systems. This discourages the user from persisting and opting out. While other types of online games have proven their quality in various fields so that they are able to keep users entertained and keep playing the game for a long time.
