Gaming

they invested $12.5 BILLION in web3 gaming from ‘21 to ‘23

yet only 1M daily wallets play web3 games today across ALL ecosystems & ALL chains 

call it 2M if you want, or even 3M if it makes you feel better, but it makes no difference at all

a single mid-tier web2 mobile game has more daily players than the ENTIRE web3 space COMBINED

a game, btw, that costs ~$10M to build, is likely profitably & likely generates margins not possible in web3, no less

do you know what the CAC is in web3 gaming? 😐

at this moment in time, by all metrics & all considerations, web3 gaming is categorically a failure

this is what happens when we blindly fund exRiot, exActivision, exWhatever

game developer != gameplay & systems designer

big resume != successful founder

they came here solely for the capital & we showered them in droves

90% didn’t even get to market & 100% failed to innovate, or do anything of interest, on the blockchain front

all that’s left now is eco hopping for hopeful network effects

Some projects have been raising funds since 2021 and building games up to now.
I wonder if we really need a AAA game on Web3.
Simply put, we already have too many outstanding Web2 games.

we don’t need a AAA game, let’s start with an indie hit first
