People paying multiple ETHs for a PFP while you can get fully unique 1/1 #onchain games for 0.02ETH 🤪 but what else is new #Gridacity

If any #NFTGame developers are interested in making their games fully #onchain. DMs are open. In 2024 there is no excuse not to.

EA cutting almost 700 job's is not new. I think we have hit almost 10k layoffs in 'AAA' gaming over the last 12 months, if not more. Looking at the biggest games of last year being Indie titles, it's clear those companies have lost touch, often being lead by non-gamers.

Years later, using #ethereum for ownership and smart contracts and #arweave for data storage, remain the best solutions for building actual utility on blockchain tech. Ethereum still has a long way to go through

6) Many 'web3' games are still hosted centrally, on traditional temporary servers and don't offer any permanence, the same mistake the current 'AAA Gaming' industry is making. This with the NFT games mainly focusing on gambling makes onboarding new users extremely difficult.

5) Blockchain and 'NFT Tech' can support the demand by traditional gamers for permanence and ownership, making the 'Physical Game' concept possible in a digital environment. This can be done with services like #arweave for storage and #Etherum ERC-721 or #BTC for ownership/resell

3) Many 'web3' games are less interesting to gamers because of the dependency on currency (regardless of it being FIAT or Crypto), and would rather just pay once for owning a game (Vintage Game Cartridges, DRM free games on services like GOG). Preferred even for multiplayer games

1) The current state of 'web3 gaming', a thread. The majority of 'web3 gaming' projects are optimized for gamblers, not for gamers. It's clear these projects don't do proper research. The best sold games by numbers in the last years are single player and co-op enabled games.

Any game chosing to be fully #onchain (with methods like #ETH, #BTC and arweave) are going to last. Permanence in playing games is something the AAA industry does not do, Blockchain can.

In the end utility always outlives hype. People often forget that that the promise of Blockchain is permanence and freedom. Locked in ecosystems and projects that are not #onchain simply don't adhere to 'web3'

Only truely forever when it's fully #onchain of course 😜

Not just world first, also world's only it seems! Been waiting since early 2021 for #nftgames to pick up the pace, but it seems 99.9% of them are still just temporary 'rentals' just like all other 'Web2' games. No innovation.

Always trying with the entire @gridacity team! Utility is king and #onchain is the way to do it.

This is huge! Glad we are embracing #arweave to make sure _every single game_ we make is permanently available, and we can continue to do that with @gridacity until the end of time. #ETH or #Ordinals for authentication, @ardriveapp for storage is the infrastructure of the future.

@gridacity does! It's why we make permanently accessible and ownable games with #arweave and #ethereum or #bitcoin! True utility, forever

The long term strategy always works the best. Utility over hype! #onchain #gaming
