lots of people asking this privately but no one asking publicly

why is everyone so angry we don’t have any crypto apps

and why did we abandon integrating or transferring existing apps to be onchain

why the obsession with net new apps

it was supposed to happen in games

but have you compared crypto games to other games? they are almost all terrible and anyone who says otherwise doesnt play games

it has to be new games, and games with novel (previously nonexistent) mechanics that crypto makes newly possible. 

i still think onchain gaming is a fruitful endeavor, but it will take much more time to sus out these types of mechanism designs and for consumers to get familiar with it
