📜The Ego Problem in Blue Chip Projects:
The discussion kicked off with @EricFA shedding light on the prevalent ego problem in the realm of blue-chip projects. The problem of whether collaborating with others would be beneficial or detrimental caused an intelligent debate about trademark screening and the value these projects bring to the table. An agreement came about that collaboration is critical, but caution is also necessary.
🖥Play-to-Earn vs. Play and Earn:
@BitKing injected a new perspective by emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the gaming experience over earning.

Elon Musk's influence was also brought up, prompting speculation about how gaming will evolve during the bull run.
♻️Challenges of Web3 Gaming Development:
The hosts, especially Ice_NFTs, shared personal experiences, and talked about the difficulties of gaming on the Web3. Technical limitations, system upgrades, and the need for more streamlined gaming experiences were all addressed. A key takeaway was the importance of making games accessible to the average player/gamer without requiring excessive resource demands.
⚙️The Integration of NFT Collections in Games:
A notable revelation came from @UncleFunk, who shared insights into integrating NFT collections into games. By allowing founders and NFT owners to feature their collections, games can benefit from shared marketing efforts and synergies. The emphasis was on collaboration and creating win-win scenarios for both developers and NFT owners.
🔮The Future of Web3 Gaming NFTs:
@Always_Oblak The ambiguity surrounding which Web3 gaming NFTs would dominate was emphasized. The topic of Star Atlas was brought up, but the emphasis remained on simplicity, good UI/UX, and community rewards as winning factors. The panelists agreed that the future of Web3 gaming lies in developing games that are simple to play and visually appealing, with a focus on user experience and community engagement. TBF #Splinterlands won many hearts on space as THE GAME TO LOOK OUT FOR🚀
📌MY CONCLUSION
The Ice Breaker 28 session was a deep dive into the multifaceted world of Web3 gaming NFTs. From navigating ego challenges to envisioning the future of the metaverse, the panelists provided valuable insights. As the bull run continues, the key to dominance in this space lies in the balance between innovation, collaboration, and a relentless focus on delivering exceptional gaming experiences. The conversation echoed a resounding call to developers: create games that captivate, reward, and sustain - the trifecta for success in the Web3 gaming NFT era.
