Chatted with a game dev last night. They said, “when working on the business of a free to play game, it’s helpful to sometimes view yourselves at war with your players. They have your money in their pockets and you need to figure out a way to get them to give it to you.” Definitely a different framing.

That sounds like a depressing way to think about something that’s supposed to be creating fun 😬

I’ve talked to many game devs, as I’m one myself, but I’ve never heard anyone have a toxic attitude like that. Almost everyone in this industry is in it because they are passionate about games. But I do agree that the fierce competition has made things more predatory. Players deserve better and Web3 enables it

Don’t love the framing, but I largely agree with them. In anything consumer, your product is fighting for attention against literally everything in a user’s life. It’s realistic to think this is a PvE scenario
