But do web3 games even need a token if there's ETH/SOL/etc?? What are the benefits of a game-specific token? The only reason I can currently think of is immersion - I'd rather see WoW gold instead of ETH Real-world money break immersion

I definitely think they need tokens A game currency is way more palatable to a broader base of users I'm not yet fully convinced that token should have $value though, it's such a double edged sword There's definitely arguments for both My current ideal is - In game currency with no value to enable onchain activity - Game Assets that have value because people want them Players earn the currency to acquire the assets and then happen to make some money, crypto-pilled.

> - In game currency with no value to enable onchain activity Yes exactly. Like if I had an in-game token I wouldn't want to care about the price of it like everyone else is. But it's a weird thought to have a token that has no value :P

we need more of it tbh Pinnacle of non financial usage It still has VALUE because people need it for stuff Its just not tradable on a dex because its locked to users within the game Frenpet is a great example of the polar opposite of this and I'm a big fan of that too Just don't expect many game devs to have the grasp on tokenomics that @surfcoderepeat has
