'Fault: Elder Orb' is an upcoming multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game based on the blockchain. The game was developed by Strange Matter Studios and is being published by Pocketful of Quarters (POQ). As a result of the unique blockchain technology that POQ offers, Fault: Elder Orb will feature blockchain integration through POQ's system that does not incorporate a play-to-earn model.
The game will run on POQ's 'Quarter' token which is game-agnostic and poised as a digital utility token rather than a cryptocurrency or NFT token. The advanced technology from POQ allowed Strange Matter Games to develop a true free-to-play experience that draws players in simply because of the fun factor of the game, not because of players wanting to accrue real-world wealth. This is a landmark game from Strange Matter and POQ that will play a role in shaping the future of blockchain-based games.
