Why is Axie Infinity game so popular?

The short answer is simple: it is a platform where you can earn money while playing a game.

The long answer? It is a complex game where players can opt for different roles–manager (one that curates a number of Axies), scholar (one that “plays” an Axie of several Axies of a manager), breeder (one that breeds Axies and sells them) for them to earn.

Aside from the joy of breeding, Axie Infinity does provide an opportunity for the people to understand the workings of the crypto economy while playing at the same time–even if they choose the Scholar role due to the exorbitant prices of Axies as of this writing.

Media outlets have covered several success stories involving Axie scholars. With the income from playing Axie, they manage to buy various items from baby essentials like milk and diapers to even several houses for their families.

The game’s explosive popularity has helped its developer, Sky Mavis, reap millions. It’s garnered $700 million in revenue this year from in-game transactions—17% of which the developer pockets—and is set to collect by year-end. While Axie is a fun game, it's also taken on characteristics of a social network and jobs platform due to the strong community and play to earn opportunities that have come from its early success.
