# The current situation of traditional games In traditional games, players often lack participation and autonomy. The game is controlled by a centralized developer, and players are unable to make decisions about the content and rules of the game, but are forced to accept the game's settings. This lack of participation and autonomy limits players' enjoyment and creativity. At the same time, many developers pursue commercial interests and neglect the fairness of the game. Some games have black markets for buying and selling virtual items, leading to unfair competition and fraudulent behavior. Players are unable to receive fair rewards for their efforts and inputs, which further diminishes their motivation and participation. --- # 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.
