We’ll know web3 gaming has made it when we collectively stop focusing on Twitter as a primary marketing channel. Twitter is largely irrelevant for mainstream gaming. We have to get to the point where games can run ROI+ paid marketing on Facebook, Google, ad networks etc.

are using royalties as a mechanism to strengthen the community!
the focus is on building our community - not royalties.
if there's creative ways to channel capital towards:
a) onboarding new talent
b) amplifying our existing creators
we're going to experiment with it.

Starbucks shutting down web3 platform. Another reminder that chasing “mainstream” is probably ngmi. Web3 native space is a massive market; most projects should continue to focus efforts on building for actual web3 users.

Game teams need to rework their model for a web3 funnel. All of us who come from traditional gaming are used to launching game beta -> then focus on retention/payer conversion/monetization -> then scale up marketing/awareness.
In web3, marketing/awareness/narrative must be…
I talked to a friend recently who does KOL marketing in meme coins.
He just brokered one of the craziest deals I've heard since last cycle. I'm talking crazy money for little to no effort.
Got me thinking about the spectrum of payouts and why web3 gaming studios usually don't…
