a lot of existing onchain game design seems to favor automated players this seems especially true for games with resource harvesting (e.g. rts/idle style games) i think this often puts non-automated players (e.g. humans) at a disadvantage for people who can write bots, i'm sure the meta-game is fun. and you can provide tools to let most people interact with bots. b ut at that point, i think the game itself has changed--it's not about whatever underlying mechanics are interesting, but it's some optimization game on top ideally games made for human players have the scripting/automation happen somewhere upstream of the actual in-game mechanics (e.g. user generated content/worlds/npcs) rather than having them compete on the same field. excited to see more games explore along these veins

Game dev is hard on chain, the main niche of having it on chain is NFT but there isn't a game or ecosystem that benefits from having their fire sword item unlocked across all games. I've been trying to make a game but have troubles of how or why I need web3 integration. Maybe unlocks of a single player game can be bought and sold however they will be susceptible to bot farming.

i don't think cross-game interop is actually the main reason to build on-chain i think extensibility, easy open apis, and verifiable game state are probably much stronger reasons
