Gaming doesn’t evolve randomly.
It moves in clear circles.
Free-to-play was one of those inflection points.
Now, the industry is entering its next major phase:
Monetization at the system level.
When platforms unify how value moves, everything changes.
We’ve seen this before in retail, ecommerce, and payments.
Once people stop thinking in terms of cash and start thinking in terms of flexible value, growth accelerates fast.
In this episode of #Unshielded with @timtello of @the3thix , we unpack why gaming may be the clearest preview of how digital economies scale.

If you care about the future of games, tokens, AI, or building anything ambitious in this industry, you need to watch this conversation.
Our CEO, Zlatko Stjepanović sat down with Timothy Tello, and within five minutes it became clear this wasn’t another surface level podcast. This is one of those rare episodes where someone with 15 years in the trenches finally says the quiet part out loud.
Our followers who are building games, launching projects, or even just trying to understand where the industry is really heading will get a lot from this one.
Here is a taste:
✅ why Roblox’s single currency model quietly became one of the most powerful growth hacks in gaming.
✅ why 99 percent of token models fail before they even launch.
✅ the real difference between a token that creates value and one that destroys a game’s economy.
✅ how interoperability could cut churn by more than half overnight.
✅ why AI will flip MMO farming, esports training, and 3D world creation on its head far faster than people expect.
And the founder advice nobody tells you: grit beats genius, rules are suggestions, and your pitch should be simple enough that even a VC can tell it back to their team.
If you want to understand the next decade of gaming, this episode is the roadmap. And if you are part of the Lussa community, this is exactly the kind of thinking that shapes how we build.
Do not miss it.

The 2025 State of the Industry Report is LIVE. 🚨
The narrative has shifted. The era of "hype" is over. We are entering the era of discipline.
For the 5th consecutive year, the Blockchain Game Alliance, in partnership with @emfarsis, has surveyed the pulse of the industry. The data tells a story of resilience, global expansion, and a return to fundamentals.
📊 The Key Findings:
•🌍 The MENA Surge: Representation from the Middle East & North Africa has skyrocketed — growing from just 1% of respondents in 2021 to nearly 20% today. This shows how quickly the region is engaging with our industry.
• 👩💻 Diversity at an ATH: Female participation has hit 22.7%, the highest level ever recorded in our survey's history.
•🎮 Quality > Tokens: 29.5% of builders cite "High-Quality Game Launches" as the #1 driver of success. The focus has moved from token prices to player retention.
• ⚖️ Regulation is Positive: 64.4% of respondents now expect policy to have a positive impact on the industry.
This report is not just data. It is the roadmap for 2026.
Thank you to all the professionals who contributed, and a special thanks to the industry leaders who provided deep-dive insights.

In our Stablecoins & Gaming Report 2025, @timtello, CEO of @the3thix, explores how stable, programmable currencies turn Roblox and Fortnite-style game worlds into open, digital-native economies.
When players trust that their skins, emotes and battle passes hold value over time, they participate more, spend more, and help creators share in the upside of real, global “in-game capitalism” across platforms.

People are starting to see @Midnightntwrk isn’t just another chain.
It’s a shield: for capital, data, and contracts.

“Lose the flywheel and the game dies.” 🎮💸
At #BGACannes, @timtello from @3thix explained how Roblox’s creator-led loop drives a $300 player LTV - while most mobile titles stall at $3.
Stablecoins can power the same buyer-seller loop in Web3.
Watch the recap ⬇️

Just weeks after Ethereum launched, @myetherwallet went live.
What began as a Reddit post in 2015 evolved into MEW Universe including MEW mobile, @ethVM, and @enkrypt!
We could not have done it without the amazing Ethereum community of devs and users - cheers to 10 years! 🍻✨

🎮 Play-to-Earn flopped.
📉 Token value collapsed.
💰 In-game spending? Still $110B+.
So... maybe stablecoins are gaming's next chapter?
I’m digging into this with @timtello @SergioVarona_ & other BGA members. What topics must be in the report? 👀 Drop them below ⬇️
