Crypto gaming UGC @OthersideMeta is quietly making huge progress + finally getting FUN now with @PrimalOtherside 🔥 This balance between strategic sweaty rust type gameplay and still being enjoyable at a casual skill level is exactly the type of game that we needed to start showing what’s possible with Otherside as a platform 🙏 Impressively high quality + smooth considering I’m playing in a chrome browser on an old MacBook Air, can only imagine how insanely fun this will feel once we’re past the test sessions and there’s 1000+ players in the same lobby like earlier Yuga projects (first/second trip, project dragon) Maybe I’m thinking way too far ahead but something like this wagered per game or as a competition would go beyond viral… even dookie dash from @BoredApeYC attracted esport pros and turned into a $1.63M / 1000 solana:7vfCXTUXx5WJV5JADk17DUJ4ksgau7utNKj4b963voxs prize to @Mongraal - that was with barely 1% of this gameplay depth (and variety that’ll compound with UGC once tools are fully public) It’s controversial but even @Banks mentioned on @MarketBubble the other day that he still owns 72* (@oswikixyz for the fact check) Otherdeed NFTs and considers them $0 today, but invested ~$1M at mint and hasn’t sold anything since The much more mainstream popular narrative right now than a “cRyPtO nFt mOnKEy MeTAvERsE” is that GTA 6 will choose to magically bless us with allowing DeFi integrations on third party servers, so that @adinross can have a server sponsored by Polymarket where you’re paid to be a janitor 🤣 I agree with the underlying macro concepts and trends being inevitable but web2 platforms will always keep fees as high as possible and max extract their users, if a Roblox can take ~60% of every transaction you think GTA doesn’t also realize they’re sitting on the pocket aces of gaming IP right now and from a user monetization standpoint can do whatever they like? Solution = we’re coming full circle back to NFTs and crypto native products that put web3 / DeFi principles first. It’s taken a long ass time and we’ve lost a fucking tonne of money on the way but the “metaverse” is back (still need to find a new word for it tho), @yugalabs are back, and Otherside is about to melt faces again 🤝 Bored Ape Yacht Club 2.0: loading… 🦍🦍🦍
