Everywhere in Web3 gaming I see houses of cards. Assets pump but no one plays the games. Hyping IP is not the same as building a great game.

Web2 gamers are won over via their hearts, not their wallets. How about just shipping a fun game instead of “vampire attacking”? Even the daily terminology we flippantly repeat in Web3 is super cringe for Web2 users. The road to mass adoption is paved by good intentions, not…

I’ve been thinking about ways to vampire attack web2 companies with web3 mechanics. Example: Maybe people who play Hearthstone aren’t playing @ParallelTCG due to sunk cost. An ‘airdrop’ of NFTs to real card holders, or a literal burn to mint would maybe work

The negative feedback any streamer/influencer/gamer gets from talking about your game, only moves the industry one step back, not forward. Just make game and build an amazing community around it. It wil take time, but empires aren't built in a day.

In a post-scarcity world of infinite tokens, quality outshines quantity. Each time expectations are raised by one, the bar is raised for all. Bullish on quality projects to outperform during this cycle’s next phase.

@sparkcsays I disagree. I don’t think the Ether team got handed a layup. Azuki sucked liquidity from the entire PFP space into their treasury, and now there’s probably no excess funds to mint anything else, especially a project that overlaps so highly with Azuki in terms of aesthetic.
