The UX IS terrible, but we have to be honest about ourselves at this point.
It's a technology still looking for a use case. Outside of proving ownership and being able to sell something, there's no point.
9 years in, still no use case.
Web3 doesn’t have a technology problem.
It has a UX problem.
I got interested in web3 games in 2017.
I jumped in full-time in 2022.
As a game designer with UX wired into my DNA, one thing immediately stood out:
The user experience in web3 games and products was terrible.
Too many crypto-first companies run by dev, marketing, and finance people.
Not enough product people in leadership.
This year, we’re shipping our first game @origins_tcg built the opposite way:
Product first. Gameplay first. UX first.
With real trading and ownership.
If all goes well, we'll be competing with some of the best games in the world.
I have no idea where this ends.
But 2026 is going to be a hell of a ride, that's for sure. 🙏
@0xferg I can definitely confirm with you on the reduction in production costs.
Gaming will be the big driver of that before it bleeds over to enterprise. Can't wait to show your brother.
Imagine wanting to sound like a Tate drone while making games.
Makes one wonder how much crunch that team is going through due to head in ass syndrome.
@potti_jaguar@vxunderground Pretty easy actually.
It's a heady mix of unfocused admins, lack of decent log tooling, and a general lack of real time sec messaging in diy systems.
We're they on my backend, none of the mongo exploits would have happened.
None of this reinforces his main point that it won't look the same.
The reality is, a well done AI integration into existing phones will not be physical, but in assistance services and enhanced security.
If the AI phone arrives in a few years, it won’t look like today’s phone.
• Screen becomes a canvas for AI to render everything you need in real time
• Services like Uber, DoorDash and Spotify communicate with AI through APIs
• Mobile apps will fade away?
• But what about games? How will they evolve?
