Well said! And, in my opinion, it needed to be said. When I see web3 games, most are pixelated, reverse-evolutionary games. The structure is create a token that is extremely inflationary and when it seems you're running out of room to grow that token, muddy the waters with another, and another, and another token, hoping that all the while, the initial tokens retain at least some value so the game can go on. Most people outside of web3 pay $50-$100 for a game to play on a gaming console and they never have to pay another dime...or they pay that and they have to pay for battle passes and upgrades forever, never batting an eye to the cost because it's entertainment. Bring in the possibility to earn from your gaming and now you turn most gamers away...It's so weird...and the ones who don't turn away stick with the "click once and wait 6 hours to click again" click farms.
After blogging on Hive for a year, I started looking into the games because...why not?! That's when I found Psyber-X. I had seen SPL, dCity (even bought a pack and some cards and what not), Rising Star (bought some packs there, too). They weren't really...entertaining...but they kept me looking. I'm hopeful that WOO will have a game that will be more interactive. The fact that I can actually play Psyber-X is massive to me. It surprises me that I can have a conversation with someone from an internationally well-known guild with over 10,000 members who is excited for our game, but on Hive, I'm lucky if I get more than 300 upvotes on a psyber-x post, most of those from people autovoting. You're absolutely right...if I'm a whale on Hive, what's in my best interest? A fleeting game that will grab someone's attention for 10 minutes then bot up the blockchain or a game that can bring active guilds to buy a token tied to Hive? I was expecting a lot more community involvement... rant over
