Key Takeaways:* Web3 Gaming's Early Days: Fully on-chain games are still in their infancy, especially when it comes to graphics and gameplay. But as the tech matures, there's real potential for innovation.* Regional Leadership: Southeast Asia and Korea are driving Web3 gaming adoption, with major gaming publishers in these regions leading the charge in blockchain integration, unlike their Western counterparts.* Business Model Challenges: The industry is moving away from unsustainable "play-to-earn" models. The focus is shifting to developing engaging gameplay first, with carefully designed token economics to support long-term sustainability.* Tokenomics: Successful games prioritize the actual utility and demand for tokens within the game ecosystem rather than just focusing on token release schedules and supply management.* Choosing the Right Blockchain: Selecting a blockchain isn't just about financial perks. Key considerations include the target region, wallet integration, developer tools, and how easy it is to convert users.* Web2.5 vs. Web3: Games are exploring different levels of blockchain integration. "Web2.5" games with limited blockchain elements might be a good entry point for traditional publishers, while fully on-chain games open new possibilities but face technical hurdles.* Emerging Technologies: On-chain game logic and AI integration present opportunities for innovation in areas like anti-cheating measures, personalized NPCs, and content creation.* User Acquisition: Web3 features like transferable assets can potentially lower customer acquisition costs compared to traditional mobile game marketing.Up Next: We just wrapped Episode 2 on "Does Web3 Have a Growth Playbook?" with not one, but three incredible guests—Justin from Safary Club, Emily from Hype, and Jared from Supernova.
