tfw it’s been this simple all along this frustrates me immensely within gaming because for half a decade now we’ve been copy-pasting web2 games & tacking on a blockchain somewhere along the way blockchains are not just payment rails; they are not just tokens they unlock novel economic mechanisms & allow us to create positive sum models that were previously not possible but despite significant improvements in abstraction, throughput & fees, and despite having immutable self-executing code & programmable money, this is what mainstream AAA web3 gaming looks like: where “ownership” is considered innovative & the promise of “earning real money” is the selling point what even is the point of being onchain? cosmetic marketplaces & in-game real money trading have been around for two decades where is the innovation that is only possible ~because~ of smart contracts? where are the new models? we’re skipping a step between today & autonomous worlds & i intend to find out what that is

*not talking about fully onchain games here re innovation, that is something very different
