Another key points here is that a big issue with gaming was the pace of iteration and shipping compared to other parts of crypto. New tools up the shipping speed tremendously. Rather than dropping a vision and an NFT mint, you can have the game playable during the mint, on the day of reveal, or very shortly after. People raised billions to try and take down @AxieInfinity saying it would be easy with tremendous hubris. Then the majority of these gave up right before a huge breakthrough in technology. Others like @Moku_HQ @AngryDynomites @yakkamon_game @RonkeOnRon @playcambria @onchainheroes @0xCitadel @PlayChickenSaga @PlayCalamity chewed glass to stay around and relevant for the turning of the tide.
