Building onchain UA infrastructure for video games

@mrKonsole If we compare how many people play even really bad mobile games, it’s debatable. I think these are still hard things to compare.

[Dima Dolgov @ddi_dmitry]

@Thomaspetersen It’s good that we’re moving toward a point where, in many companies, a “last” quarter for people like that actually becomes a final one. I’ve been noticing a positive trend lately.

Imagine how sales change when players get something that genuinely has value. Feels like the budget would easily pay itself back

According to New Blood's CEO, Epic Games Store’s free giveaways cause a huge spike in Steam sales.

The game sold 200% more copies on Steam that day than usual.

He called the EGS giveaway great advertising for Steam sales.

@Thomasbcn @m_katkoff @yodelmobile Very good point. It’ll be interesting to watch how budgets get reallocated across the market

[Dima Dolgov @ddi_dmitry]

2026 isn’t about channels, it’s about signals. Games make this obvious.

"Signal Engineering" everywhere 🏴󠁮󠁺󠁢󠁯󠁰󠁿

Latest mention from @m_katkoff , @yodelmobile, #fixmytracking, even people asking Grok what this is about

Feels like a market where acquiring users is the hard part, not monetizing them

interesting charts from the latest @aream_co Q4 2025 gaming market report

> steady growth after post covid correction
> install growth is on a decline while revenue is steady = efficiency
> higher barrier to entry
> consummer apps are adopting gaming growth playbook ;)))

Just listened to Lex Fridman recent interview with Roman Yampolskiy (CS PhD, studies artificial intelligence safety and other things) for 2 hours about the AI apocalypse.

Quite a lot of doomsday speak, but interesting stuff nonetheless.

Some bankers I know asked me to lecture them on DeFi protocols. I asked which DeFi protocols in particular they’re interested in, and, unfortunately for them, they actually sent a list 😂😂😂

Finally met someone else who also truly believes that Decentraland Metaverse is currently the most advanced Metaverse that is far ahead of every other one 🙂

Took the win at @ethbelgrade Hackathon from Linea with an invitation for our RevShare Party product into Consensys 😃

Went in the usual hackathon manner, with zero prep and registration in just a couple days before the event, coded overnight, made a great presentation, and won)

[Dima Dolgov @ddi_dmitry]

Good read.

Strong local players are still under the assumption that this is something niche, interesting only to low-income customers and teenagers buying cheap stuff, and that in a couple years, this whole trend will die out.

GPT-4o can run games. 😃
You can prompt the AI to present a game in a format somewhat similar to an old text-based RPG.
It seems only natural to add gamers’ preferences to the model, and then you have a gamedev AI that always makes interesting and commercially successful games 😃

coworkers from back in the day, and several relatives. Taxi drivers are forgetting all about Bitcoin price and tapping instead. Not sure what’s going on.

We, web3 experts, are left to wonder what exactly happened here. So, what did happen? (2/2)

[Dima Dolgov @ddi_dmitry]

Well, Notcoin listed the token on the leading exchanges, and Durov was telling how he brought 35 million people into the app over just a few months 🙂

People are really excited, over the past week I was asked for advice from a childhood friend, a professor, a neighbor, (1/2)

Went to the Computer History Museum the other day. Fascinating place — full of ancient devices, going from the first Spectrum to iPhone 1.

The developers of the first computer hardware probably looked as odd with their devices as high-tech crypto developers do now)

[Dima Dolgov @ddi_dmitry]

How many crypto companies are in this picture? 😄
