Blockchain games offer the promise of a simple vision: everyone, everywhere can play, own, and even make money in a space that isn’t controlled by any government or corporation. On paper, it’s true: a wallet address doesn’t have a passport, and a smart contract works in Manila or Munich. But in reality, playing or developing a crypto game in 2025 is very different depending on where you are in the world. Regional bans or restrictions affect about 11% of worldwide blockchain gamers.
