# Initial Cost ## Current Market The root cause is the expensive initial cost for a new player to take part in the game. They have to pay upfront a large sum of money to acquire NFTs before actually playing the game and being able to earn back their initial spending. As a result, most of the players for those games are speculators rather than players. ## Our proposal Our Gaming model proposes a seamless combination of both ThinkToEarn and PlayToEarn models where every player, clever mind people can enjoy the game while creating value and making the PlayToEarn model true to its name by minimizing the need for the high initial cost and just to think and play without any limits. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
