Remember that we are not players in Web3 games. We are mobs to be farmed.
“Web3 Gaming” is gaming played by speculators and investors.
The products they create are disposable tools used to manipulate and farm regular gamers for cash.

multi-blockchain ‘virtual town hall of engagement opportunities’
Wow, this single phrase managed to make me puke a bit inside my mouth three times - might be a new record…
“Those of us in Web3 gaming are well aware that things aren’t working, but few seem to want to buck the status quo trend because the road less traveled isn’t for the feint at heart; it’s for pioneers and those who dare to defy,” Smart concludes. “And so, here I am, once again at the cusp of one of my greatest challenges, and what I believe to be my last hoorah, if you will.”
Derek smart, humble as always…

You can stop there. That’s because so-called “web3 gaming” solves a problem that only exists in the mind of the dozen vocal idiots that want it to happen. And that problem is mostly “I don’t really like video games, but I would play if that game was just about real money transactions instead”.

Not so much mixed metaphors as throwing the ingredients in a bowl and calling it a cake.

Jesus Christ, he’s still alive?! I haven’t heard that name in years.
For those not blessed with the knowledge of our divine Lord and saviour Derek Smart, God’s gift to fame designers, oh boy, grab your popcorn, this is going to be good.
And by “good” I mean that whatever Derek has come up with will manage to be the most objectively terrible version of that thing possible, and he will aggressively defend it as the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of everything, ever.

And he has this little group of fawning supporters who will vigorously defend him in every discussion.

His Battlecruiser 3000 game was the Star Citizen of it’s time, except it didn’t bring in hundreds of millions of dollars.

I remember seeing this idiot all over the Steam forums back in the day. I wouldn’t trust anything he makes even if it wasn’t blockchain related. His games suck, and he himself is a huge asshole.
