The games I like the most are the ones building something new and fresh from scratch
They’re building story, characters, lore and immersive worlds
It’s hard not to appreciate these games and their dedication to their vision

Long-term games with long-term people
It’s called WolvesDEN! Basically all of the best people in web3 gaming come by throughout the week to hang out and meet and share alpha, but also there’s gaming play-tests and fun events like karaoke and Korean bbq. I literally got to meet my favorite game founders and builders.…
Here’s the thing
I’ve been watching every single one of you relentlessly hustle
Through one of the worst bear markets we’ve ever seen
You think I’m fading a single one of you?

So hyped for this!

They are a rare breed - do not fade
