The Financial Impacts of NFT Games during the Pandemic Period in the Brazilian Scenario
Abstract
In view of the financial difficulties that the global COVID-19 pandemic brought, people around the world needed to look for secondary ways of obtaining income since they lived in quarantine for a long time, which made it impossible for the population to work full time. As a result, NFT games gained strength mainly during 2021, becoming an extra income for many people around the world. The methodology used in this research obtained data via form from Brazilian players/investors of NFT games, seeking to better understand their profiles, motivation and technical characteristics. A characterization of the players was drawn, seeking to identify the average investor profile in NFT games. As results we obtained: the Axie Infinity game was the best known and the NFT theme is having a decrease in demand.
