Hey web3 content creators .... make actual content on the games not market predictions not ponzi bullshit. Actual gameplay content or shut the fuck up. Cause your stupid regurgitation of tweet bs is not and never will be content.

Lmfao I called this shit. I have been screaming for years the tech .... the fucking tech needs to be invisible at least for 6months after launch. Then a good real game can say suprise we actually been using blockchain and now you own your loot.
Gaming went from 62.5% of all web3 venture investment in 2022 to single digits by 2025. But Web3 gaming didn’t fail because crypto crashed. It didn't help, but that’s the lazy explanation. Multiple capital structures broke at the same time: 1. VC-funded studios. 2. Retail NFT mints plummeted 3. P2E guilds got crushed 4. Metaverse everything was valueless 5. Telegram tap-to-earn funnels. All of them relied on the same assumption: Rapid growth (demand) would arrive before durable gameplay demand. It didn’t. The numbers are brutal: of $12B-$15B that flowed into blockchain gaming between 2020 and early 2026, the report estimates ~$11B of that is gone. 93% of GameFi projects are classified as effectively dead. The average GameFi token is down ~95% from all-time highs. Quarterly VC funding to web3 game studios fell from $1.6B in Q1 2022 to ~$18M in Q2 2025. 300+ gaming dApps went inactive in Q2 2025 alone. And the case studies tell the same story: @Pixelmon raised $70M from an NFT mint before shipping a public game (they were later bought out by good leadership and have made some interesting things). @hamster_kombat reportedly went climbed to 300M users (a massive amount of bots, surely, but still insane) to 12M in six months. @AxieInfinity went from 2.8M daily active users at peak to around 100K. Off the Grid is probably the most interesting test case. It had $100M+ raised, Call of Duty talent, Neill Blomkamp involved, major streamers, and 14M self-reported lifetime users... But the report says it still struggled to break ~15K concurrent players on Steam, and now they are being accused of not paying contractors, Node investors have gotten washed (me included) and the token hasn't been a success either. That matters because OTG is not a random Discord server with a JPEG project. It is one of the closest things web3 gaming has had to a serious mainstream swing. So the issue is not one bad game... it's an entire funding model that encouraged projects to (aggressively) monetize ownership before they earned attention. That said, I don’t think the takeaway is “blockchain can never work in games.” The better takeaway: Token-first web3 gaming looks cooked. Blockchain-as-invisible-infrastructure still has a shot, but it is much smaller and way less sexy than the 2021 pitch deck promised. Quality web3 titles are reportedly seeing 35%-45% monthly retention, close to web2 benchmarks of 40%-50%. @PlayCambria has processed $150M+ in PvP wagers with 4,500 concurrent players. @pixels_online has shown steadier engagement with a lower-overhead model. Web2.5 studios are moving toward stablecoins, invisible wallets, and blockchain as backend infrastructure instead of making the token the main character. That is probably the healthier path. Players do not want to be “onboarded into an ecosystem.” They want a good game. If ownership, trading, or payments make the game better, great. If those things are the game... you should probably just trade perps or prediction markets instead. The first era of web3 gaming tried to financialize fun before proving the fun existed. The next era, if it exists, has to reverse the order: Build games people want to play. Use blockchain only where it improves the experience. Stop treating token liquidity like product-market fit. Let me leave you with one more important piece of context. - Only ~20% of all published video games ever make any profit. - 70% of indie games never break even. - The top 10% of games generate around 90% of total industry revenue. Games are hard with or without blockchain.

See this is the bullshit reason web3 is a joke in gaming right now. You had games like this make sale after sale of nfts then never launch the game. Now they are going to web2 to extract more funding.

For all you content creators in the space and builders who can't stop talking about bear market vs bull market then get puzzled why mainstream gaming runs from this space. It's about the fun and continuity of play not your shit market sentiment.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

Called this lol
𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 What some players thought would be the answer to all their MMO questions has come to an abrupt end with Game Director for Ashes of Creation (@StevenJSharif) stepping down. The news comes after more than 10+ years of development and numerous crowdfunding campaigns that raised millions. It now looks as if Ashes of Creation might be coming to an end. All employees appear to have been impacted, with the latest payroll not being processed. The company has cited its financial position as the reason.

Today is the last day you can play ANTHEM🚀 I still mourn the immense potential this game and world had. It could’ve been an amazing story-driven single player game or even a Mass Effect spin-off. What a waste of a great world/flying mechanics🥺

The division with tarkov kill time would be sick!!
The Division was truly ahead of its time. Before the extraction shooter craze, we had the Dark Zone.
