Incredible to get the founders perspective directly
Adam @fern on why @PirateNation and @ProofOfPlay are moving away from P2E mechanics.
Trading... Gamified.
we all learned to trade in WoW where the auction houses are global
Azeroth Economics ep 1 ft @opensea
Would you sell your game data for cheaper games?
@OliverMaroney: "I would absolutely take a discount."
@willsspangler: "That could create another revenue stream and potentially drive down the price of games."
Would publishers pass the savings back?
Would you sell your tilt data?
@itsGnoc:
"They already know everything about me."
"You're going to give me a 50% discount... Go ahead. Have it."
"I would pay a subscription to see what tilts the people on the other side."
The data could work both ways.
China's mini-game economy is already worth roughly $7 billion.
@itsGnoc: "Everyone uses the same three apps."
@OliverMaroney: "We're processing seven different places to get users, not one. WeChat has one and it's working."
China built one system. America built seven.
Is a $2,000 double-sided phone... a gaming device?
@chrisheatherly: "This is a luxury device for rich guys."
@itsGnoc: "It's marginally better than the $700 iPad Mini, costs as much as a computer and comes with 256 gigabytes of storage."
Will games sell it?
Is Xbox turning around, or just getting better at PR?
Robin: "The Xbox machine is working. Fantastic."
@chrisheatherly: "She's in a tough spot."
@Tvalc: "The outrage is absolutely fabricated."
Three explanations for a company trying to change its story.
Ignorance may be bliss, but it's also killing your game launch.
Robin Boyar:
"Studios often don't do the testing, or don't listen to it."
"The workers who didn't control the greenlight are the ones who get hurt."
Poor decisions punish the people with the least control.

Nintendo has crashed 48% this year.
The question is not whether Nintendo is a great company.
It is whether the market has finally priced that greatness correctly.

I’m telling you - we’re cooking!
Reaction to the new version of Gamified has been great.
It's humbling starting over on YouTube but I'm confident we'll be the #1 show for the business side of games in a year.
No one cares about improving their product like me and @Lemz_42 do.

Little preview of coming attractions
My weekend vibe coding project was a gamified interface and show controls for @GamifiedShow.
We’re gonna lean into this idea of it being a game show about games. I’ve got it working with a socket server that’s lightening fast and I’ve even got chat, motion graphics, voting.
I’ve realized making game show like this is pretty easy actually. I expect we will see more of this. Just too cost prohibitive before.
Hopefully we get it going in the next week or so….
