In 1983, the video game industry fell apart because of the sheer quantity of shit being shoveled to consumers. Most analysts were calling it for the industry, that home gaming would never thrive again. The infamous Atari landfill.

Then a company that made most of their money off of playing cards and gambling decided to pivot their game system play as a broader "entertainment system", reimagining how games and entertainment can be done, with strong quality controls in their developer onboarding and promotion. It worked. Everyone remembers the NES. Few remember the landfill. Crypto has lost its way, but it can be brought back.

The trick is simple: play a different game.
