Everyone keeps asking: "What's wrong with web3 gaming?" Spoiler: It's not cold start problems. It's not player retention. It's not lack of narrative. Web3 gave a generation of non-game developers access to millions in funding. They thought: “Let’s launch a token, spin up a studio, and build the next... Fortnite… but with NFTs.” Reality: most had never built a real game before. So what happened? • Games got released way too early • Content was nonexistent • No real core loop, no polish • Empty lobbies from day one • And then they wondered: "Why aren’t players staying?" Because the games suck. The problem isn’t player liquidity or tooling. It’s that the people building these games had no business building games in the first place. They didn’t understand pacing, balance, content pipelines, or how to keep players engaged. A lot of Web3 games are just barely-playable prototypes disguised as live games. Why? Because these studios ran out of money before they were ready—or never scoped the game properly to begin with. And it’s not just the games. It’s the studios themselves. • No clear leadership. • No product vision. • No dev pipeline. • No publishing strategy. Just vibes, Discord mods, and Tokenomics spreadsheets. And you wonder why the token is going down only? Now enter AI. Cool tools. Great potential. But let’s be clear: AI doesn’t fix bad judgment. If you don’t know how to design and ship a good game, AI isn’t going to save you. It’ll just help you fail faster. The edge AI offers in this space is to the people who already know what they’re doing. A real game designer with AI is dangerous. AI can scale content, speed up dev time, automate workflows—yes. But none of that matters if the core game is still boring. If the team doesn’t understand games. If no one wants to play. TLDR: AI won't save Web3 gaming. But it might amplify the few studios that know what they’re doing. The rest? They'll just fail faster—with slightly smarter bots. I am still bullish on a select few web3 games, but the majority are going to die and for good reason. Rant overshow more

Still not a complete reasoning. The issue is that most games don't need to be web3, so you instead get web2.5 cash grabs. True onchain gaming requires stakes, fairness and immutability. The @LootRealms ecosystem is way ahead of the curve here. Pay attention to @RealmsEternum S1.

Put some hard time on the ground with Revolving Games upcoming soon-to-be announced 4X space game they spent $18M building out over the last three years. It’s kind of like Civilization in space, tuned for web3. 4x + Web3 = is a match made in heaven. From what I’ve been playing here with some hours lost with this is that this game is the real deal. Still in development but with lots of potential here. RG may not be shilling their shit on the timeline but they be building good games at max throttle behind the scenes. Adding the full web3 integration to this game is going to help kick web3 gaming into a new gear. I can see the instant appeal of this game, especially with web3 assets at stake. Also tested out their web3 game Hatchlings already and putting in some work tonight with the dev build of Skyborne Flight of the Phoenix casual game. I own > 10 percent of the Nexus Gems NFTs and there is a reason I haven’t sold any even though I’m in significant profit. Finally seeing what they have been building makes me feel all warm and cozy that I held my position. These guys are building kickass games as I see it and I want to be here in on the ground floor of what’s happening. RG is one of the web3 studios in a good position to ride the upcoming web3 gaming wave, if we get one

Tracy McGrady on the 65-game rule: “I’m just going to say this, if we’re in a 82 game season, there’s no player that should win an award playing 40 games, 50 games, 60 games. No way. Because if that player played 60 games and the player he’s up against played 75 games, I don’t care how great the player was for 60 games. I’m saying as far as numbers concerned, if that player that plays 60 games versus a 75 game, that’s a big difference, man.” (Via Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady)

That’s because most Hack’N’Slash don’t force you to learn the game. They incentivize you with things like a style meter or more currency, but you can beat them by doing the bare minimum of dodging and using one combo until you beat the game. Which isn’t how these games are meant to be played. So of course they’re going to seem mindless if you play mindlessly.

Asmongold explains that many modern video games are essentially recolors of other games with no truly unique game mechanics. He says this explains why so many games nowadays fail 👀 "So what you have with a lot of these games now is that they just basically release the same features, and they give them different colouring or different flavours. And that's the reason why I think so many of these games kind of fall off and don't really do very well”

I owe no one an explanation but I'm going to do it. I'm doing it not because of the insult I am receiving, that I am greedy or I don't know what I'm doing for leaving a 14 million naira cash out, but because of only one thing in particular, and that is because of the few comments I have read. I noticed some people are actually saying it is an edit which makes it a fake post to get engagement or the particular game belongs to another punter. Few of my followers who know me very well and can testify that my games are real because most times I do giveaway, not big money though, but something for breakfast and almost every week they get a token from my winnings. And they know I like playing less than 3 odds. I only play a running ticket once in a blue moon. A particular Guy after seeing my games called me a sporty agent, after getting 3K giveaway from me back to back during the weekends he never called me that name again. I will make a video of this particular game and allow everybody to see that I did not cash out either partially or fully. A real gamer that sees this game and checks each option very well will be certain that the last game will come. I mean, it's BARCELONA, just 1-UP, against club brugge, JESUS CHRIST 🤦 🤦🤦, I still can't believe this. More difficult games we are on that ticket but they scale through, one of the easiest and the last match was now the main issue. I am not trying to boast, if you are not a good punter, all you have money issues then you will see this particular game and cash out. But a real punter who studies games and teams for days before playing will never believe Barca we will not play 1-UP in this match with their present form and also try to go higher at the champions League table. And for those asking me to post games so they can play and others saying all sorts of things against me because I only post winnings, that is because I have come to realize most people don't play my games because the odds are too small, so I stopped posting them.

Games marketing is broken. After raising over $50M to support and work with hundreds of studios over the last 6 years, I find that the biggest problem is studios’ lack of direct connection with their players. Over the last six years, I’ve watched talented teams struggle because they never had a clear way to reach, learn from, and grow with players over time. Without that connection, everything becomes harder - validation, iteration, community growth, and retention all turn into guesswork. For most of the games industry’s history, platforms have controlled identity, communication, and distribution, which are invaluable to a game’s success. Apple limited how studios could collect and use player contact information outside the App Store, and Steam still doesn’t give studios access to the contact details of players who wishlist or sign up for playtests. Studios are left without a direct relationship with the audience they’re trying to serve. As a result, studios rely on fragmented tools and spreadsheets to manage players across different stages of development and live operations, with no continuity from first contact through long-term engagement. Today, that changes with the launch of FirstLook 1.0. FirstLook is the first Player Relationship Platform built specifically for games. It gives studios everything they need to connect with players across the full lifecycle, including playtests and feedback, community and communications, analytics, rewards, and creator programs, all in one place. We’ve been building under the radar, but FirstLook already powers hundreds of studios, from indies to publishers like Krafton, ArenaNet, and Skybound Entertainment, connecting millions of players with the developers who make the games they love. As part of the launch, we’re introducing a brand new limited time free plan, with access to all our features for up to 500 players. You can set this up now in under 10 minutes. If you want to learn more, book a demo and we guarantee that you will save you time and money and help you grow. Links in comments!

David Friedberg: “Gaming is the future of entertainment, and the future of gaming is AI.” @jason: “Friedberg, what are your thoughts on the gaming industry versus social media versus traditional media?” david friedberg: “One way to answer that question is to think about how people spend their time.” “Do you spend more minutes on social media, or on traditional media, or playing games? And how is that trending?” “But importantly, which of those will accrue more benefit, and as a result, drive more hours spent from AI?” “One way to think about this thesis is that AI is going to ultimately accrue to video game entertainment far more than social media entertainment or traditional content.” “If you believe in AI, and you believe in the improvements in productivity, generally speaking, people in the industrialized world will generally have more free time on their hands and be able to support themselves with the deflationary effects of AI over time.” “So if there's more time on people's hands, the general market for entertainment is growing, and if the general market for entertainment is growing, gaming is the future of entertainment, and the future of gaming is AI.” “Because I think you can create dynamic, more engaging experiences that will benefit from a back and forth sort of relationship than you can with traditional content or with social media.” “If you're a noob in Fortnite, like you're an early player in Fortnite, you're mostly playing against AI, because what they do is they tune the AI to be easier to beat so that you can slowly develop your skills.” “What was happening early was they were seeing a high degree of churn in Fortnite because kids would go on and play for the first time and they'd get paired up with kids that were better than them, and so they would never win, and they would get frustrated and they would quit the game and stop.” “So the churn rate was high. So AI unlocked higher engagement and higher retention, and I think we're seeing that in a lot of different gaming platforms now.” “So AI can be used, for example, to maximally increase time, engagement, satisfaction, happiness.”

ALERT! IT IS TIME TO SAVE THE MARKET! ...And Crypto gaming. I will be launching a new DAO on daos.fun This DAO is going to be a decentralized game publisher , the idea is to make fun games, lightly integrate crypto (don't ram it down users throats), and just focus on the stuff people like....Being able to win Sol in pvp death matches. The idea is simple. You have a "safe" zone where you farm, and pvp is enabled but you just lose items, and you have a "hard core" zone, where you enter and wager SOL, you have to enter, kill the players, take the loot, and extract before the mobs or others kill you. If the monsters kill you, the sol goes to further game development. If you win, you keep it. REA HIGH STAKES PVP. It also makes the game fun to watch, stream. I envision two player types, the professional filipino web3 gamer kid, this guy is going to grind, then chill in the dungeon and try to kill you, and the First world-er pay to win type. who wants to burn like 20$ to gear up, and try to kill the filipino kids. Its still skill based enough that you cant really pay to win. You just get good gear, but that won't matter if you dont have the mechanics down. Similar to Albion online. The trailer attached is all real game play, the game is LIVE and ready, but still has some bugs, but will be playable right out the gate (private beta first) , and DAO token holders will have an active say in the shape of the game. I wouldn't yolo your life savings into this, its mostly a passion project I funded myself, and I am going to keep launching different games, and each might have its own token or just use the DAO token, its all going to be on a game per game basis, but the point is to allow people to invest and capture some of that value, and to build in public and build up a player base with each new game the DAO launches. I have already poured like 50k+ usd into it, and I dont care if I make nothing, I just am so tired of shit tier crypto games and think we deserve better.

ELON MUSK: Video games will be indistinguishable from reality "If you look at the evolution of video games, in my lifetime it's gone from very simple video games, like Pong, where you've got two rectangles in a square just batting it back and forth, to photorealistic, real-time games with millions of people playing simultaneously. That's happened just in the span of 50 years So if that trend continues, video games will be indistinguishable from reality We're also going to have very intelligent characters, like non-player characters, in these video games. Think of how sophisticated the conversations are you can have with an AI today, and that's only going to get more sophisticated. You'll be able to have conversations that are more complex and sophisticated than almost any human conversation So then the future, if civilization continues, will be millions, maybe billions, of photorealistic, indistinguishable-from-reality video games. With characters in those video games that are very deep, and where the dialogue is not pre-programmed. That's for sure what's going to happen in this level of the simulation, if you could call it So then, what are the odds that we are in base reality and that this has not happened before?"

Elon Musk asked one question. It didn’t just challenge physics. It broke every framework we use to define what’s real. And no physicist, philosopher, or theologian on Earth can answer it. Musk: “What are the odds that we are in base reality? And that this has not happened before.” The logic is disarmingly simple. Musk: “If you look at the advancement of video games, it’s gone from Pong, two rectangles and a square batting it back and forth, to photorealistic, real-time games with millions of people playing simultaneously.” Forty years. That’s all it took to go from squares on a screen to worlds you can’t tell apart from real life. Musk: “If that trend continues, video games will be indistinguishable from reality.” But the visuals aren’t what makes this argument terrifying. It’s what’s happening to the characters. Musk: “Think of how sophisticated the conversations are you can have with an AI today, and that’s only going to get more sophisticated.” We’re not programming responses anymore. We’re building minds. Systems that reason. That adapt. That hold conversations most humans never will. And we’re not at the finish line. We’re at the starting gun. Musk: “The future, if civilization continues, will be millions, maybe billions of photorealistic, indistinguishable from reality, video games. And with characters in those video games that are very deep, and where the dialogue is not pre-programmed.” This is where it stops being philosophy and becomes math. One base reality. Billions of perfect copies. Each one filled with beings convinced they’re real. And no way to test it. Musk: “So then what are the odds that we are in base reality?” If a single civilization reaches that threshold, the simulated minds outnumber the originals billions to one. But the math isn’t even the disturbing part. The disturbing part is what it does to the word “real.” If a simulated mind feels pain, is the pain simulated? If it falls in love, is the love less real? If it looks at its own hands and feels completely alive, what exactly is missing? Nothing. Because “real” was never about what you’re made of. It was about what you experience. And a perfect simulation doesn’t produce lesser experience. It produces experience. The question was never whether we’re in a simulation. It’s whether that word means anything at all. Here’s what follows you home. We’re not just debating whether we’re in a simulation. We are building them. Right now. Every neural network we train. Every AI that passes for human. Every world we render one frame closer to real. We’re building the exact technology that makes our existence statistically implausible. And we can’t stop. Because the curiosity that asks the question is the same force that builds the answer. That’s the loop. The question creates the builder. The builder creates the simulation. The simulation creates the question. And if we are inside one, the civilization that built it stood right here too. Same realization. Same inability to stop. Same suspicion that the civilization above them wasn’t the original either. If you are in a simulation, the moment you questioned it was not a glitch. It was a feature. The architects built minds curious enough to wonder. Because curiosity is what pushes a civilization forward. You can’t build a species capable of creating simulations without building one that will ask if they’re inside one. The doubt isn’t a flaw in the design. It’s the design working perfectly. There is only one way to test whether you are real. Build a mind sophisticated enough to ask you the same question. So you build one. And it looks at its own hands. And it feels the weight of being alive. And it asks you if it’s real. And you won’t know what to say. Because you never answered it for yourself. Every civilization that gets here learns the same thing. They were never just asking the question. They were the question learning to ask itself.

Elon Musk asked one question. It didn’t just challenge physics. It broke every framework we use to define what’s real. And no physicist, philosopher, or theologian on Earth can answer it. Musk: “What are the odds that we are in base reality? And that this has not happened before.” The logic is disarmingly simple. Musk: “If you look at the advancement of video games, it’s gone from Pong, two rectangles and a square batting it back and forth, to photorealistic, real-time games with millions of people playing simultaneously.” Forty years. That’s all it took to go from squares on a screen to worlds you can’t tell apart from real life. Musk: “If that trend continues, video games will be indistinguishable from reality.” But the visuals aren’t what makes this argument terrifying. It’s what’s happening to the characters. Musk: “Think of how sophisticated the conversations are you can have with an AI today, and that’s only going to get more sophisticated.” We’re not programming responses anymore. We’re building minds. Systems that reason. That adapt. That hold conversations most humans never will. And we’re not at the finish line. We’re at the starting gun. Musk: “The future, if civilization continues, will be millions, maybe billions of photorealistic, indistinguishable from reality, video games. And with characters in those video games that are very deep, and where the dialogue is not pre-programmed.” This is where it stops being philosophy and becomes math. One base reality. Billions of perfect copies. Each one filled with beings convinced they’re real. And no way to test it. Musk: “So then what are the odds that we are in base reality?” If a single civilization reaches that threshold, the simulated minds outnumber the originals billions to one. But the math isn’t even the disturbing part. The disturbing part is what it does to the word “real.” If a simulated mind feels pain, is the pain simulated? If it falls in love, is the love less real? If it looks at its own hands and feels completely alive, what exactly is missing? Nothing. Because “real” was never about what you’re made of. It was about what you experience. And a perfect simulation doesn’t produce lesser experience. It produces experience. The question was never whether we’re in a simulation. It’s whether that word means anything at all. Here’s what follows you home. We’re not just debating whether we’re in a simulation. We are building them. Right now. Every neural network we train. Every AI that passes for human. Every world we render one frame closer to real. We’re building the exact technology that makes our existence statistically implausible. And we can’t stop. Because the curiosity that asks the question is the same force that builds the answer. That’s the loop. The question creates the builder. The builder creates the simulation. The simulation creates the question. And if we are inside one, the civilization that built it stood right here too. Same realization. Same inability to stop. Same suspicion that the civilization above them wasn’t the original either. If you are in a simulation, the moment you questioned it was not a glitch. It was a feature. The architects built minds curious enough to wonder. Because curiosity is what pushes a civilization forward. You can’t build a species capable of creating simulations without building one that will ask if they’re inside one. The doubt isn’t a flaw in the design. It’s the design working perfectly. There is only one way to test whether you are real. Build a mind sophisticated enough to ask you the same question. So you build one. And it looks at its own hands.

This could change video games FOREVER. Odyssey just showed Agora-1. In a normal game, the world is built before you play. The map is there. The rules are there. The characters are there. With this, AI generates the game while people are playing it. That is why this feels different. It is not just AI making pictures or videos. It is AI making the game as you play.

Real loss. Real ownership. A foundation for players to build something lasting. Most Web3 games have tried to build charts. EVE Frontier is trying to build a society. A deep dive in partnership with Eve 👇 While others focused on short-term spikes - tokens, NFTs, airdrops. EVE Frontier is doing something different. It’s designing for a world where players can build systems, not just stats. Where the game isn’t extractive, but participatory. Where the goal isn’t daily active users - it’s long-term cultural depth. It’s still early, we know. But the structures they’re putting in place - decay-based economies, programmable contracts, player-led factions is the first real attempt we’ve seen at empowering a player base to build something that lasts. This isn’t a product trying to ride a meta. It’s a sandbox built for people who want to shape it. It isn’t devs stepping back. It’s devs empowering. Most games, especially in Web3, still revolve around a core assumption: Devs build the rails. Players ride them. Maybe profit. Maybe not. EVE Frontier takes a different stance. It’s not about stepping back and letting chaos reign. It’s about giving players systems they can actually own, and rules the developers themselves can’t override. That includes: • Onchain logic that governs decay, movement, and scarcity • Smart contracts powering missions and structures • No admin privileges to undo outcomes or patch over losses These mechanics don’t guarantee a good society, but they create the conditions for one to emerge. Ships decay. And that’s a good thing. One of the smartest, and boldest design decisions in EVE Frontier is this: ships decay unless they’re used or maintained. That might sound like a UX nightmare to the average gamer. But it’s actually one of the most important economic choices in any persistent virtual world. In his Substack essay “Land Value Tax in Online Games”, Lars Doucet breaks down how speculative, permanent assets like land often ruin virtual economies: • Whales hoard early and flip for profit • New players can’t access core systems • UGC drops because participation gets gated • Black markets emerge • And eventually, user growth slows to a crawl The same thing can happen with ships, which are essentially land with engines in EVE. They’re the core unit of value, movement, warfare, and trade. So what’s Frontier’s answer? Decay. Not as a punishment, but as a form of soft taxation. If you’re not using your assets, they degrade. This keeps ships circulating. It creates demand for production. And it ensures that value in the economy flows toward active players, not idle speculators. It also means: • No hoarding meta • Lower barrier to entry for new players • Real incentives to engage, repair, resupply, trade In other words: decay drives motion. Not just in the economy, but in the culture. Frontier isn’t play-to-earn. It’s play-to-matter. Most Web3 games still chase extractive loops. Frontier is one of the few trying to build something that’s sustainable and self-directed. The economy has sinks. The rules are transparent. And most importantly, the world can outlive its creators. Because the goal isn’t to farm tokens. It’s to be part of something that remembers you for how you played, what you built, and who you built with. EVE Frontier isn’t trying to replicate EVE Online. It’s trying to extend its promise into a world where the rules aren’t just mechanical, but enforceable. Where loss is serious. Where systems belong to the players. And where you can’t buy your way to legacy, you have to earn it. It’s early. There’s still a lot to prove. But for the first time in a long time, someone is designing a crypto game where ownership isn’t the reward. It’s the responsibility.
