I’ve spoken to 100s of web3 gaming project founders.
Here’s what I learned.
1. The most confident founders are web3 native and from unrelated industries.
2. Web2 founding teams don’t look for opportunities in blockchain tech, they look for funding.
3. Game quality is the first thing that comes out of everyone’s mouth but the last thing that gets money.
4. The web3 dance: no one cares about KOLs bringing players or whales. It’s a VC/ launchpad/CEX facing investment strategy.
5. Every single company account is botted or forced engagement through questing/incentive systems.
6. X follower count only matters to people who don’t know anything about game development.
7. The people in point 6 hold all the money and power in this echo chamber.
8. Most founders are delaying TGE because they can’t afford it.
9. Getting to TGE is the focus of the majority of backers.
10. Player numbers don’t matter to VCs, only on chain interactions.
Caution to anyone who read this post as bullish: it’s 50/50. Half true, half hopium. The money printer isn’t going ‘brrrrr’ yet. This is a short term fix where the ‘printed’ $22B USD will be paid back in 7 days with interest 😐

the number of web3 brands and creators i'm seeing realize that voidscreaming to the same echochamber on X vs meeting REAL users where they are is a dead end is growing.
this is making me more bullish than anything else in the space rn.
i am here to help you do it - for free.
first warning: you are not ready for this kind of user conversation - you will be challenged in ways you never have been before.
again - i will help you prepare for this...for free.
you can hire me later - let's get the industry out of it's echo chamber first.
if you think i'm full of it, reach out and i'll run you through the data we've collected at @RUMSHQ with my partners @Evan_Mann and @CoinGuideWW.
ask @BigNillCollect and @brycent what it's like to leave this chamber and create elsewhere.
dms are open.
