If you're trying to build a web3 game but aren't embracing the core principles of the degen culture, you're simply building another web2 game.

10/ Want to take a bigger part of the asset ownership in Warcade ? Stay tuned for our upcoming [redacted] launch, which will be another way of earning $WAR tokens. Remember to follow to stay up to date on all things w̶a̷r̶c̷a̴d̵e̷.

9/ $WAR will be the centerpiece of this ecosystem : players will need to partially burn their tokens to get plays on our games, and rewards will be distributed from the pool of bets taken in a season/game. This will act as a token sink and a token rewards system.

8/How do we complete this casino feel ? Encourage players to bet on themselves (at first) to help them boost their scores, and even out the playing field between the ones that have the talent, and the ones that have the money to throw at it.

7/What does that look like in practice : multiple classic arcade games to pick from, leaderboards and seasons of varying length for each games, with rewards distributed on-chain to not only the highest scores, but also other achievers in wildly different categories.

6/Warcade is not trying to reinvent the wheel. We have a huge catalog of competitive and very simple game designs to draw from. These designs don't require the latest graphics or physics. We plan on bridging them to web3 by implementing the degen casino as a core feature.

5/Why do degens regularly call cryto a casino ? Because it's representative of what draws people to it : the hope that everyone can win big by placing wild bets with their competitive advantage (whether true or not) : knowledge/talent/luck/all of the above.

4/What do we think the key to success for web3 gaming is ? products that heavily lean into the novelties and quirks of crypto, dare rethink paradigms and genres from the ground up using core principles of blockchain and ownership of assets.

3/Enter web3 gaming : adding ownership of assets, and thus price speculation. This ignores human nature : expectations of profit tends to remove the enjoyment out of an activity, i.e. adding a profit motive is contradictory with the ideal of making a product that is entertaining.

2/Most successful games take one of 2 approaches : develop an entertaining product and charge up front for it, or develop an addicting game, released as a free to play product and monetize that addiction. Some take a blended approach (CS:Go with low price + cosmetics).
