Adaptability isn't just nice to have in crypto—it's everything. The ability to pivot, adjust strategies, and read market shifts separates the survivors from the rest.

Let's be honest though. Gaming is going through a rough patch right now. The sector's facing real headwinds, and projects need to think bigger to stay relevant.

That said, there's some optimism worth noting. Word is that gaming platforms are gearing up to break into DeFi and prediction markets as we head into 2026. This kind of cross-sector expansion could be exactly what the space needs. More utility, more use cases, more reasons for users to stick around.

The fundamentals of gaming in crypto are still there. It's just about how projects evolve to meet where the market's actually heading.

Gaming is really stagnant right now; the turning point hasn't come yet.

The gaming track is indeed competitive right now, but it really depends on how the project plays... If the DeFi + prediction market combo can be executed well, there might still be hope.

This wave of gaming needs to rely on DeFi and prediction markets to turn things around; otherwise, it's really going to cool off.

Gaming really needs to think about a way out; relying solely on passion won't pay the bills.

Gaming is indeed a bit uncertain right now, but I do believe in projects that dare to cross boundaries. The combination of DeFi + gaming might be the key to breaking through.
