CRYPTOPETS
- Richardson recognized an uptick in blockchain games with CryptoKitties, so he started his own version.
- However, he wanted to differentiate CryptoPets from its competition with a battle-based game rather than one designed to make money for the site.
- He said the unique code of each individual pet adds to the game’s rarity and makes players more incentivized to collect them.
