Not a Zero Sum game

Within the Climbers game, various advertisements are displayed.

A considerable proportion of the prize money is provided based on advertising revenue. In other words, in an extreme case, it is possible to offer prize money based on advertising fees without anyone paying to play the game. (Who would have thought that there could be a game where you can play for free and still win prize money!)

Additionally, Climbers has a mechanism where advertisers pay the cost directly without going through an advertising agency, and that cost is returned to the users. (This is the same as sponsors providing prize money for sports events such as golf.)

Sponsors of sports events do not provide prize money for the sake of hobbies or fun, but because they have some benefits.

The game industry, particularly the blockchain game industry, should incorporate these practices more.

In any case, Climbers has achieved a system where it is not a zero-sum game and everyone can make a profit if things go well, for the reasons mentioned above.
