Big Time Studios, an innovative game developer based in Austin, United States, has recently announced that their highly anticipated free-to-play multiplayer action/MMO RPG, Big Time, has generated an impressive $100 million in revenue. This success is attributed to the game’s unique player-focused economy, which has resulted in a total transaction volume of over $230 million without the sale of a single token.
According to Ari Meilich, the CEO of Big Time Studios, “Success in Web3 gaming hinges on creating compelling experiences with a player-focused economy at its core.” This approach has proven to be successful, as Big Time combines the intense combat and dynamic gameplay of action RPGs like Diablo with the vast, explorative realms of MMOs like World of Warcraft. Players take on the role of time travelers, fighting to preserve the human legacy and prevent the collapse of reality.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Big Time is its use of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for valuable virtual goods. These tokens are collected through in-game activities, adding an exciting element of collectibility to the game. The only purchasable items are Time Crystals, the game’s non-crypto premium currency used for in-game activities. This fair launch strategy, with no tokens reserved for the team or investors, showcases Big Time’s dedication to a player-first gaming universe.
This commitment to fairness and inclusivity sets Big Time apart in both the Web3 and traditional gaming industries. It levels the playing field by preventing non-players from purchasing their way to success, making it a truly skill-based game. This has been a major factor in the game’s success, with its preseason launch in October generating $37 million in Q4 and projections of $80 million in Q1.
Meilich emphasizes that Big Time Studios is first and foremost a game company, and their biggest priority is delivering an amazing game with immersive gameplay. “Players want entertainment value and a game that is Twitch-worthy,” he stated. “This approach has differentiated us, and in light of its recent successes, signals we’re taking Web3 gaming in the right direction.”
Looking ahead, Big Time Studios has exciting plans for new features and updates that will continue to enhance the immersive gaming experience and solidify their position as a leader in the Web3 gaming industry. To join the adventure and get early access to Big Time, users can simply join the Big Time Discord community and request an access code.
Founded in 2020, Big Time Studios has quickly become a leader in Web3 gaming with its main title, Big Time. Unlike typical Web3 games, it distributes tokens directly in the game, avoiding sales to investors or team allocations. The game’s success and the company’s significant impact on digital gaming are evident, with a revenue of $37 million in Q4 and projections of $80 million in Q1. Big Time Studios continues to lead in innovation within the Web3 gaming sector.
