   @Jihoz_Axie

   We spend too much time as a space discussing the differences between games, chat, virtual worlds, pfps and speculating on which category will drive mass adoption of Web3.
   
   These are all the same thing: Content.

   VRGDAs, as featured in our on-chain racing game 0xMonaco, let you sell tokens close to a custom schedule by adjusting prices as sales get ahead of/behind it.

The Endgame of Web3 Gaming

The Endgame of Web3 Gaming The "final boss" of web3 gaming isn't here yet. Games in the web3 space to-date have been experiments, largely loose collections of semi-baked ideas and brave studios ...

   That means:
   Litepaper - Imminently

Games, protocols & projects that are new, interesting and under the radar

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - We should be innovating, not copy pasting

Kix

@SpeculatorArt

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

Jonah 🎮

@RealJonahBlake

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

Paul Graham

@paulg

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

Robbie Ferguson | Immutable

@0xferg

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.

ModernWarzone

@ModernWarzone

Reminder that none of the cosmetic items you purchased during Warzone Legacy will transfer to Warzone 2.

That includes operators, finishers, sprays, emotes, stickers, weapon charms, weapon camos, operator skins, weapon skins, vehicle skins, vehicle horns, blueprints and more.

Kix.eth (Crypto Raiders) - Mass market Web3 gaming will take some time

Kix

@SpeculatorArt

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”

Kevin Lambert

@kevinlambert

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?
