THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Background of the Study

For both hardcore and casual gamers, making money from video games has always been

a pipe dream. This is now entirely possible, thanks to technology progressing at a fast pace.

You can either write about video games, broadcast yourself playing it, or create your own.

(Ricky Publico, 2021). In 2020, The Philippines saw a huge number of non-traditional gamers

migrate to crypto-based video games as a way to earn income during the COVID-19

lockdowns. The country saw grandparents, single mothers, and taxi-drivers all turning to a

video game to supplement income - playing, crafting and trading digital assets which they

could then sell on public blockchain exchanges, to transfer into cash (Randy Breen, 2021). 

As reported by Jorge Garcia (2021), the coronavirus epidemic has changed several

industries, including video gaming. Spending a few hours playing for leisure is a thing of the

past for some players. Some people may think the rise of e-sports has already changed the

face of gaming from a pastime to a career, but what has been happening over the past few

months goes even further. Games such as Axie Infinity, CrytpoKitiies and The Sandbox have

created a new digital market that has transformed entertainment into cash. And not because

they sell millions of copies, but because blockchain has allowed cryptocurrencies to become

the focal point of these games, known as crypto games.

More than 20 percent of college students use their financial aid money to invest in

cryptocurrencies, according to new findings by The Student Loan Report (2020). As

mentioned by Angela Baker (2018), student investing groups are cropping up all across the

country. They are forming clubs that pool money and invest in Bitcoin and other cryptos; they

are setting up investing “hubs” to watch the crypto markets, so that they can respond quickly

to investment opportunities. Almost every student began mining because it was enjoyable,

cheap, and even profitable. As their activities expanded, so did their interest in

cryptocurrencies and blockchain, the underlying technology. Students around the world are

creating bitcoin mining operations right from their dorm rooms, capitalizing on a critical

competitive edge and motivated by profit and a desire to learn the technology as stated by

Karen Hao (2018).

Kristin Stoller (2017), Forbes staff, published an article, a former university of

Michigan student, one of a growing number of college students who have come to see

cryptocurrency as an opportunity to invest and realize financial gain early in their lives. Many

students are playing Axie Infinity as a part-time source of income. But some of them are

paying more attention to the game than they do to their studies. As a result, they don’t do well

in school and get bad grades (Egar Organiza, 2021)
