CoinMarketCap x Footprint Analytics - 2022 GameFi Industry Report

Content is king. MatchBox DAO - How to Make On-Chain Gaming Competitive: Session Keys [Part 1]
- 1/ #blockchaingaming is here to stay .@AxieInfinity has trailblazed #playandearn #nftgames, but it’s also a natural target for anyone against #NFTs and #web3 #blockchain games. This hostility is unwarranted, unfair and often without the benefit of facts and context.
- I've been working on a new mechanism for @artgobblers with @FrankieIsLost and @_Dave__White_.

Content is king. - 1/ Royalties for NFT creators are essential to a decentralized & democratic ecosystem, ensuring fair distribution of value to contributors/creators, which in turn supports value creation across all #NFT commons. Royalties are a critical part of the #web3 #ethosSome NFT exchanges are *not* enforcing royalties. @hosseeb makes the case for destroying royalties completely. @tarunchitra & @tomhschmidt question presumptions of high trading velocity. “This is the reason music NFTs will never happen," says Tarun.

- Most people playing crypto games were doing so primarily because they could “play-to-earn”.

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - We should be innovating, not copy pasting
Too many people in web3 gaming, myself included, say we want the "X game for web3".
We should be innovating, not copy pasting.
Gamers want new game mechanics, innovations they haven't seen before.
Innovate instead: "Runescape for web3" "Runescape x Rust for web3.

Jonah Blake (Real Third Web) - Web3 Gaming shares the same infra as NFTs
Web3 gaming shares the same infrastructure as the rest of the NFT market but operates and is measured independently. Different markets using the same chains.
Paul Graham - Recipe for failure
Recipe for failure: a startup with high burn and a moderately appealing product. If the product were obviously unappealing, you wouldn't work on it. If it were truly appealing, you'd grow fast. But a moderately appealing product lures you on.
Robbie Ferguson (Immutable X) - Incentives are everything
Billions of dollars spent on in-game assets lost. Zero property rights.
Incentives are everything: web3 enables a system where publishes have the same incentive as players, to create long-term economic value rather than extract it.

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - Mass market Web3 gaming will take some time
I think it's possible we are still 5-7 years from mass market web 3 gaming.
Sounds like a lot of time, but when you think about the average game takes 2-3 years to build, that's only 2 cycles of web3 games.
Going to take time to figure out the optimal models & integrations.

Kevin Lambert - Soon “blockchain games” will just be called “games”
Today they're called "blockchain games", "NFT games", or "games with NFTs"
5 years from now they'll just be "games" and the others will be "games that don't have any ownership."
The shift is coming. Are you ready for it?
