Are playing crypto games really worth it?

I never played any crypto games but I know a lot of people that are into Axie Infinity (posts about this fill up my Facebook feed honestly). And sometimes I feel like these games are too hyped just because it involves crypto and a lot of people are into it. It also makes me contemplate if spending money on these games is really worth it (since you need to spend on these games for characters or other stuff in-game).

I just feel like games like these are not really inclusive because you’ll need to place a lot of money to earn big, and I realized that when I came across a part of this article talking about a game where you don’t need to place an initial investment in order to play. Sounds tempting especially for those who are not willing to drop a thousand bucks or more on this game, but in the end there’s no certainty you’re going to gain something. Crypto is already volatile, and connecting it to a game, then that’s real gamble imo.
