do u ever wonder if this obsession with making money from Web3 games is part of what's holding the whole space back?
because I see the appeal pretty differently
say I'm playing a game I actually enjoy
I buy some assets because I want to use them
maybe I pick up a few more because I think they're undervalued and want to speculate a little
then eventually I get bored of the game
completely normal
I sell whatever I can and move on
maybe I made money
maybe I broke even
maybe I lost a bit
I don't really care
I still got hours of entertainment out of the game, except this time there was a real player economy around it
the stuff I owned could actually be traded
there was real money on the other side of those decisions
to me, that's already a huge part of the appeal
can u make some extra money in a healthy economy by trading well?
of course
that's part of the fun
but the idea that I should be able to play a game and reliably make enough to support myself, my wife and two kids?
who is supposed to fund that forever?
that's where the whole thing loses me
I don't think Web3 gaming needs to promise people an income to have a future
real ownership is interesting on its own
a living player economy is interesting on its own
crypto payments are useful too, especially in places where Stripe or PayPal aren't properly available or where traditional payment rails are expensive
I absolutely think crypto has a place in gaming
I just think we've spent way too long making "how much can I earn?" the main question
@meijer_s@johnbuilds Haha i'm working on like a dozen projects at once. also building an MMORPG game so I have a dedicated account for that.
Logout/login works and you can do it mid-session but the context window gets reloaded so it's not economical.
Use 2 devices or 2 ~/.claude dirs on 1 device
@pedrobarretto_ The game is well made, but is there a way to make it harder? I beat it with minimal effort on the first try. It's a bit boring because it's not challenging at all
