Gaming Day Brainstorm is a wrap! Two hours and 15 mins of solid discussion on investors’ burning questions! 🎮👾🎉Takes below plus a video glimpse into what UNDER ⚫ is working on: 1/MEDIA VALUE is player time spent + engagement. But the initial wave of web3 gaming has used a... game loop that is short term 1) Collect 2) Hoard or Flip.show more

2/What is the new value that Web3 brings to gaming, and do people even care about true ownership? All agree that digital assets that can *enable* ownership (if used as collateral) would be powerful. Shout out @kai_henry for his insights. Or a new layer of interoperability between games in a franchise? What about new mechanics, e.g., Mythical quick trades?

3/Gaming morphing to Social Media on one end of the “The Bar Bell” - We talked a lot about the ways UGC is growing and morphing to social media (Roblox, Fortnite) and the other end of the barbell is AAA that is creating a graphically rich game over years for a different audience. Both can work but wow the demos are very different

4/Community is everything = the secret sauce. Marketing is challenged. Without a community, difficulty level HIGH; with a vibrant community like Nancy Chen’s @GirliesSquad in @Fortnite and @FlappyWUD in @Polkadot , you can pretty much launch any simple game and people will play

5/Great debate on why we haven’t seen “it” from web3. Travis from @AzraGames echoed @johnwastaken earlier @mythicalgames comments - creating high quality that draws millions of players is not on ‘crypto time’; great news - we are about to see some exciting content has been in the works for years - @FIFARivals (out now!), @PlayPudgyParty, Ungodly from Azra, @fewture_studios, content from @paulbettner, etc

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR PARTICIPANTS and for their incredible insights and stay tuned for the hackathon with Ilya, @AjunaNetwork, and @joinwebzero on S.A.G.E. and @Sortium tools. Shout out to @timtello for his insights as always, along with the Mythical gang - @SquiddyNFT and @MythosCharley and to our friend Johnlouis Petitbon and his mind-provoking application called AtSea - web3 is enabling communities that no other tech could...extending it into gaming and entertainment! Have a wonderful weekend!😎🎮👾
