Gave some hints to it, but
@gabrielleydon
concretized the principles in their press release.
FREE-TO-OWN
Has two aspects:
(1) The community begins for FREE.
(2) The NFTs they get, are OWNED by them.
(3) Those NFTs are factories that generate new NFTs (for gameplay, cosmetics).

Monetization in play-and-earn relies on [1] velocity and [2] investment
It means creating a stable base, which makes players to want to invest (emotionally, socially) in your game world

Beyond creator royalties, allowing for affiliate royalties, permanent royalties to minter.
More and more social norms can be be made explicit and set as immutable.
Incentives can align again.
It is a good day.

Creators first.
Programmable royalties reify the social contract of secondary market transactions / royalties by enforcing it at the smart contract level.
Along with a slew of other features that creators can use — elegant tools, for a more civilized age.

i think it’s the existence of speedups in emulators. the ability to speed up to exactly the pace creates a brand new game, cutting out the grind
speed up game generation -> idle game + IAP game generation
tied together by a lack of willingness to tolerate walking, boredom

Bespoke: Thinking about what this new incentive alignment technology can bring to the process of building games, and the player experience
Game Designer lens for play-to-earn
What new things can I allow players within the games to experience?
1. Cooperation supercharged by economic incentives
2. Democratizing ability to earn from being good at games
Just the start.

COMMUNITY STARTS FOR FREE
@DigiDaigaku
started as a free, stealth mint. This fulfils two objectives:
(a) No whitelists etc that creates tiers.

Finally, starting free avoids scam-like behavior:

Taking NFTs as incentive alignment is reminiscent of
@lootproject
, except
@limitbreak
also takes a 10% transaction fee on NFTs, which allows them to generate rev, and invest that into the game development.
To date (21 days), there has been 3.9K ETH in vol. That's 600K revenue.

TOWARDS MORE GRANULAR DEFINITIONS OF IN-GAME SINKS
Sinks are mechanisms you introduce to remove resources from your economy.
- Net positive sink
After one year, you end up with more of the resource you wanted to sink
- Net negative sink
After one year, you end up with less

So that the number will go up, organically

It gives the right incentive alignment, as the team is rewarded in the NFTs and therefore, they're driving ALL the economic relevance to the original NFTs. (see: Metaversus level 8)

Casual games are woefully underrated/built in web3 right now.
Sure, we're all incredibly online, and have amazing experiences in core games.
... but Building games that can appeal to 100s of millions necessitates those games being accessible to those 100s of millions of gamers.

Why is it called

?
(1) Final Fantasy: Limit Break.
(2) The company that aims to break the limit on the most expensive NFT with its monetization design.
(3) Breaking the app store limit of $100 IAP per transaction (F2P) means breaking limits on total revenue.

Down to build blockchain games that can absorb a very healthy amount of

[2] player speculation (GameFi)
[3] player spend (where players joyfully spend)
[4] players that play for free

F2P Virtual Economies — Monopsony
You can (mainly) only buy from the developer. Supply and demand is not a contributing factor to price.
P&E Virtual Economies — Bazaar
The developer sets up the rules by which currency and assets are generated, and players trade in that world.

The more I study Virtual Economy design, the more I realize very few games are going to make it in play to earn / play and earn.
You need differentiation to reward player skill & player coordination. And economists to build monitoring & make recs.
Otherwise you're flying blind.
"Virtual economy design can contribute immensely to user content creation by providing an interaction framework in which it can emerge."

The second point of course is ownership.
This is a classic argument: players will be more invested when they own their NFTs.
But even better, these NFTs represent some economic utility in the context of the game.

If you loved the Eve Online economy.
