# Challenges

**1. Fragmented Digital Ownership Across Games**

Players invest considerable time and resources into acquiring in-game assets, but these assets are often restricted to individual games. The inability to transfer or use them across multiple titles diminishes their long-term value and usability.

**2. Loss of Assets When Games Shut Down**

When games are discontinued, players lose access to their hard-earned assets, and developers lose the intellectual property tied to these games. This impermanence discourages long-term investment and creates instability for both players and creators.

**3. Vulnerability in Peer-to-Peer Trading**

User trades of in-game assets often occur in unsecured environments, leading to fraud, scams, and violations. This lack of trust in trading ecosystems negatively impacts the gaming experience.

**4. Complex Blockchain Integration for Developers**

Many developers face challenges integrating blockchain technology into their games due to its technical complexity. The absence of intuitive tools, accessible resources, and a steep learning curve discourages developers from adopting blockchain solutions.

**5. High Barriers to Blockchain Onboarding for Users**

For the general public, accessing blockchain-powered systems remains overly complex. Tasks like wallet creation, asset management, and transaction handling involve technical processes that are unintuitive for non-crypto users, creating a significant barrier to entry.

**6. Lack of Familiarity with Blockchain Technology**

Blockchain remains a niche concept for the majority of users, especially gamers. Misconceptions, technical jargon, and an overwhelming focus on cryptocurrency elements alienate conventional players who are unfamiliar with the technology.

**7. Absence of Tangible Utility in Gaming**

Gaming experiences often lack real-world utility. While players invest significant time and resources into games, their rewards are typically confined to in-game achievements or items with no relevance beyond the game, limiting the perceived value.

**8. Oversaturation of Low-Quality Games**

The gaming market is crowded with low-quality or rushed titles, making it difficult for players to find reliable and engaging experiences. Developers struggle to stand out in this competitive environment, further exacerbating the issue.

#### **Blockchain-Specific Problems in Gaming**

1. **Trust Deficit in Blockchain Systems**\
   The general public often views blockchain technology with skepticism, associating it with volatility and speculation rather than practical applications.
2. **Disconnected Experiences for New Users**\
   Onboarding processes are not designed for individuals unfamiliar with blockchain. The lack of user-friendly interfaces alienates potential users who might otherwise engage with the technology.
3. **Technical Barriers for Adoption**\
   Blockchain-based games often assume a level of technical knowledge, creating a divide between conventional gamers and Web3 platforms.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://creoengine.gitbook.io/whitepaper/the-mission/challenges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
