Some Thoughts on the State of Web3 Gaming

People don't play games to earn money. Games are purely for entertainment and social. The real sweet spot for gaming x web3 is asset ownership, and that's it. Eventually those assets should be interoperable, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

The steps for progress are: (1) asset ownership within a single game (right to buy/sell - you are an owner, not a renter); (2) interoperability across a single game IP (transfer skins from MW2 to MW3 to Black Ops, etc.); (3) interoperability between different games from a single publisher; (4) interoperability between different games from different publishers (this is a long long way away for many reasons, but a nice thought).

If web3 companies (or web2 publishers trying to enter the space) only build games with a focus on players earning money, then it just turns what is supposed to be entertainment into another job. The games also shouldn't focus on the ownership component - that's just a functionality, not a selling point - bc then you just get people grinding to accumulate assets under the lens that "one day these skins will be worth a lot." These web3 "games" are not fun and the 5 people trying to play games for the sake of not having to get a "real job" won't sustain those games' ecosystems. I hope more game publishers (whether new web3 studios or existing studios) take this approach to gaming. This is why CSGO skins are "OK" to gamers while web3 games are blanket-labeled as "bad," despite being conceptually identical.

Also we need to remove friction points - e.g., wallet requirements and/or asset token-gating to play games - but that's for another post.

Sharing this "Lil Vercetti" art piece by @SuperTrip64 because I really like how he and @0xGuavaGuy are approaching their game, SuperTrip Land. There are a few other games and publishers I am optimistic about, too.

Day 30 of the @noble_gallery challenge: went on the longest outdoor walk yet this morning, with so much to do, and so much more in the head to clear! Turn the clutter into clarity, as @LOVEBEINGWORLD intended:

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Stoked to participate in @noble_gallery 30-day challenge of art + getting out in nature.

Day 1: I stepped out of the office and walked a couple miles to admire the spring flowers. I was inspired by @brunourIi work: nature will find you if you don’t find it

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 29 of the @noble_gallery challenge: walked over 20,000 steps today, from dawn until dusk. Love exploring new cities like this! My day is summed up by @GrantYun2’s amazing piece of day and night in one place:

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 28 of the @noble_gallery challenge: got outside early to stretch in the sun, and take advantage of my new exercise garb. This was a key component of my activity, and arguably a public service, since I don’t present myself as well as @NudeYogaGirl

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 27 of the @noble_gallery challenge: another day, another hike! @ChrisBenchetler captures the omnipresent spirit and energy of nature, which you can’t necessarily see, but it’s easy to sense

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 26 of the @noble_gallery challenge: I’ve become so accustomed to daily outdoor activities that I’ve finally broken the chains of the desk, and forming them in nature instead. I’m realigning my shackles with the outdoors in the vain of @fvckrender

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 25 of the @noble_gallery challenge: I was inspired by @lolahubner_’s work and particularly this piece. I just knew today’s outdoor activity had to be swimming at the beach, even if I was the only one there without the Sunday Scaries

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 24 of the @noble_gallery challenge: got a late start to my outdoor activity but made it to the beach for sunset. Even when the moon and stars replace the sun, sitting in the sand makes it feel like day on the inside - it’s the vibe I get from @tiffatronn piece here:

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 23 of the @noble_gallery challenge: another sunny morning means another sunny jog! The key to getting outside and exercising is to never make excuses. Even if you forget your sunglasses at home. @laurentCastell knows what I’m talking about:

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 22 of the @noble_gallery challenge: usually when I hike, I bring my headphones to amplify the experience with music. Today I forgot mine, but learned that sometimes the best music is what nature offers. Felt like I channeled my inner @Kaejunni

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 21 of the @noble_gallery challenge: went for a LONG run this morning, and with June Gloom definitely gone, it was hot! Nothing better than getting outside, but my whole body feels like it was created by @Ghxsts

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 20 of the @noble_gallery challenge: went on a morning walk in the rain, because rain or shine, gotta get that time outdoors! Maybe next time it’ll be in a place I might catch @Timmboslice_

[Drew Jackson @djax1990]

Day 19 of the @noble_gallery challenge: went for an amazing run this morning to clear the mind, before the Monday morning frenzy kicked in! @skygolpe is all over transcending the frenzy
