While I agree with your concept in this, the game's TOS would need to be syndicated worldwide and the rules and regulations surrounding the money aspects of the game would need to have such oversight that it becomes the biggest problem of them all.
I don't think anyone truly knows what's going to move the needle and the masses into Web3 gaming.
@GamingGridx The idea is laughable that futuristic gaming will not utilize digital currency.
We all know the slogan, and there is no doubt.
Web3 gaming is inevitable. Lightning in a bottle. Just the right model, the right hype, and everyone jumps on. We're not wrong, we're just early.
Over the next week, we will be doing a lot of front facing changes as our official launch is coming up.
TL:DR
We want to better reflect the benefits of how we have incorporated crypto and NFTs rather than using single term like web3 and let our game stand on it's own.

WHERE WE STARTED
In the past 5 years since the studio opened (Sept 2021) and when we started dev on MAYG (May 2022), we've never raised publicly, never did a paid mint and have been ardent supporters of what we thought was a beautiful innovative vision of gaming + crypto + NFTs.
For us that meant solving some real problems in the current gaming industry and taking a shot at solving a sustainable open economy model.
We even opened a 9000 sq ft dedicated luxury gaming lounge for MAYG in Bangkok (July 2025) and have set the ground work to expand the IP and brand coverage. Because of the functionality afforded to us because we have build a game fully integrated with crypto + NFTs.
WHAT WEB3 GAMING BECAME
Unfortunately the web3 gaming industry took a different direction and now 95% of them are MIA and its really pointless for us to be carrying a flag of stupidity and incompetence that we've been contrarian to this entire time.
I've personally made some wonderful life long friends during this period, but even with them we rarely saw eye-to-eye. Having called even the closest of them 'gutless wanks, peons and fuckheads' on spaces and posts, I'm sure didn't endear me, but I'm thankful they understood my intentions, if not in agreement with them. But it ain't about the friends we made along the way, it's real life and its about who goes the distance.
That's neither here nor there, as most of them have moved on to AI or MacDonalds and I'm not saying this to gloat as there is no one really in the space left (save a few really amazing people like @BuxtonMatthew@iceyyy_gaming and everyone who they are still supporting - wishing you the best of luck). But we decided a couple of years back that our focus would be on a more broader market that was outside of web3 gaming twitter.
LEAVING THE BAGGAGE BEHIND
I mean, the road ahead is really just getting to the starting line and while I'll never forget the crazy psycho relationship we had with web3 gaming. At a certain point, you gotta let the baggage be and just take what you learned and move on.
Just to say on this note: There have been only a handful of web3 gaming projects I've openly supported. Bought their NFTs (never sold them), retweeted and even publicly defended them to give them benefit of the doubt. But even the few I've supported have left me cynical and it's just time to move on with just focusing on what we're doing.
I know over the years there were many people in the space who were so disappointed that we hadn't failed yet, or, others still waiting for us to throw in the towel and say we're gonna be a web2 game or some shit like that and fade away. But every moment, every friendship and interaction I had here was because I wanted this space to succeed in spite of itself. People wanted their bag, I get that, and now they've fucked off - showing how relevant they really were, like zero.
ENDING OR STARTING ON A HAPPY NOTE
For those who have supported us, still after all these years have held our NFTs thank you sincerely🙏. Whether or not you have hope, even given up entirely on this space and after all these years still don't understand what we're doing, it doesn't matter.
It's time to show you.
We fight for love and love never fails.
That's biblical you gutless wanks. 😇😘
A special shout out to @XAI_GAMES and @ArbitrumPlay for all their support though out the years. It was a lot more complicated than even we thought it would be. But we good, we ride.
@SamSteffanina (Strat Spoiler 🚨🚨)
It's good, but, every fight seems to become too easy after you figure out exact parry timings for each enemy attack.
Enjoy!
