CRYPTO GAMES WILL BE NO MORE!
Sorry for the clickbait, but this is how I see the future of crypto gaming. The figures are approximate and not particularly important for the context.
The second iteration of cryptogaming, in addition to problems with the economy, highlighted the benefits of an open economy
Sometimes you need to take a step back to take two forward. In the next iteration, developers need to try to create web2.5 products that are independent of market volatility and designed for both users familiar with crypto and for those who do not need it at all.
P2E is discredited, but it may become part of classic games, but it would be better to call it “open economy” as gamers once began to be attracted to “open world”
In such games, there should be a bridge between web2 and web3. Both technically and ideologically. And web3 players should be useful to web2 players and this benefit would bring profit to the developer in order to justify his costs for attracting crypto players. Think of it as a burn rate on the most dedicated players in the role of Evangelical Ambassadors. For example: Axie Infinity has a talking Nation concept
This nation is the very secret of axi infinity's success. People who create viral content and onboard other players. The mistake was that they attracted the same web3 players-businessmen, and not web2-consumers who are willing to spend money, making up for the net capital outflow
The same axes in the brand new game Axie Infinity: Origins will try to build an open economy into the classic game. The task is not trivial. Make an exciting game that will be played, and with a bridge to an open economy
A support group represented by crypto players will help them attract. Other games will follow the same path, and one of the most important competencies will be community building and the ability to delegate tasks to the community to build a community owned part of the game. And for this, the development team must have a crypto expert interacting with PM and CM, but about the vision of the organizational structure in the next. post

SKYWEAVER, HORIZON DEVELOPERS RAISED $40 MILLION IN SERIES A ROUND
Horizon Blockchain Games raised $40 million to build the Sequence platform in a Series A round led by Brevan Howard Digital, Morgan Creek Digital, Ubisoft and Take-Two Interactive. Polygon, Bitkraft, Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke, The Sandbox and Axie Infinity founders Sebastian Borge and Alexander Larsen and others took part.
The attracted investments will go, among other things, to Skyweaver, the main competitor God's Unchained.
WEMETA ADDED NEW ANALYTICS TOOLS FOR DECENTRALAND
WeMeta already once mentioned. Since then, the developers have added analytics for Otherside, treeverse and other interesting land projects.
Let's say for ourselves: although Blockchain allows you to extract a lot of interesting data, especially from competitors, at the same time there are very few ready-made tools, especially on new blockchains. Therefore, it is useful to have data scientists or engineers in the team. On Ethereum, analytics tools are simpler: what only Dune Analytics costs, but still the data is scattered and incredibly difficult to work with. In short, the pain is painful.
WeMeta won’t make it much easier for you to get new data, and in general they only aggregate data on lands so far, but at least it will allow you to analyze the situation with lands in the metaverses without knowledge of SQL or PL at the top level. It's already something! Especially if there are no data scientists at hand or you are not a developer, but a user.
WeMeta recently received a grant from the Decentraland DAO and created the Builder Tag, an analytics and data aggregation tool for Decentraland, and they have an API. The startup is interesting, as a working tool, but there are no tokens of its own yet.
MYTHICAL GAMES LAUNCHES FOUNDATION WITH TOKEN
Mythical Games known for the game Blankos Block Party will create a DAO Mythos Foundation with an interoperable native $MYTH token to develop decentralization. The token is designed to support: developers, contributors, players and take into account their voice and contribution when participating in the ecosystem. Recall that earlier mythicles did not have their own token.
MYTH is an ERC-20 token, but Mythical's own blockchain created with EOS.IO supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). TGE passed May 12, 2022 If we evaluate and compare, then Mythical Games can only be compared with Dapper Labs.

PLASTIC WEB WON
I was going to write a post about web3 merch and creating a personal blog in Tg, but the circumstances are such that it is important to touch on the topic of blocking in the crypt.
1. Don't underestimate them. If the company is going to serve customers from the EU, then with the adoption of MiCA, a legal presence in the EU and additional licenses will be required. A similar law is being prepared in the United States. Even DAO will need to be registered. Some details here. good review here (EN). Therefore, companies carrying out activities related to crypto assets will face the choice of which audience they should work for, and in most cases the choice is obvious. Despite the fact that MiCA has not yet been adopted, some companies have already begun to show their loyalty in order not to fall for secondary sanctions from the 8th package with packages.
2. If you have not yet mastered web3 services, then you should start: OpenSea, WAX Cloud Wallet, Binance and other CEXs are all web2 services that make money on web3 pains. Yes, for sure, there are CEXs who want to enter the freed market and solve the problems of a fairly large audience, but being able to handle web3 is already a vital necessity and we again return to the question: “Is decentralization necessary?”. The answer is obvious.
3. What to do?
Do not panic, just learn new ways and tools to work with crypto assets and diversify risks. Do not expect any comfort zone when working with crypto.
A) Do not store crypto assets in a place from which you do not have the keys. If your crypto assets are stored in a wallet from which you do not own a pair (public and private key or seed phrase), then we can say that these are not your crypto assets. You are only given access to them, and at some point they may be denied.
B) Use to exchange DEX. Even DEX can disable access to the frontend. Learn to interact with the smart contract bypassing the front of the service. It is important to understand that using the application to bypass the front is often a violation of the Terms of Service, just like using a VPN.
C) Minimize the storage of crypto assets in applications. In a special risk zone, applications registered in the EU and the USA. If you haven't yet created basic storage wallets and shim wallets for interacting with apps, then I recommend doing so.
D) Before any action of setting up your secure storage system, think 10 times and check if the seed phrases and private keys are written correctly. Often, access is lost due to erroneous actions during the setup process. They didn’t write down the seed phrase, or they made a mistake during the copying process, or they wrote it to a flash drive, and the flash drive stopped working, etc. Sit for a few days and think carefully about how to organize all this.
E) There are P2P services for exchanging for fiat, and some of them work through an escrow smart contract. I will not recommend exchanging crypto for fiat or any particular service. #DYOR
E) Create a basket of securely backed stablecoins and uncensored cryptocurrencies. To some extent, a compromise will have to be found between decentralization and the risks of depeg stables.
Look for the positives in any situation and assess the risks. Of the benefits, at least web3 literacy will grow.

7.Hugo will release an exclusive NFT collection
The first experience of the company in Web3 is devoted to the topic of emotional well-being
The Embrace Your Emotions collection of 1001 tokens will be released at the end of November. All NFTs will be united by the idea of showing feelings. The creators of the concept believe that the expression of both positive and negative is natural for a person, and the opportunity to reveal one's emotional state directly affects mental health and overall well-being.
5 NFTs will be presented as characters representing joy, sadness, fear, anger and love. The rarest hero will combine all 5 emotions. It will be put up for auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to a youth mental health foundation.
The Hugo x Imaginary Ones collection will be available to 1000 people, 500 of whom are buyers of the limited edition phygital T-shirt. With the help of a QR code placed on it, the user enters the Snapchat Lens, where it is possible to create effects in augmented reality.
8. In several US states, you can now pay taxes with cryptocurrencies. How to make money on it?
The initiative was introduced in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Arizona.
The IRS recognizes cryptocurrencies as legal property. The law states that if the price of property rises, then at the end of the year the excess will be returned to the owner. This is similar to property pledge instruments.
Taxes are calculated a year ahead, that is, if, for example, you paid $1000 for electricity in Ethereum in January 2021 at a price of $730, then at the end of the year you would receive almost $3000 tax deduction (the price of cryptocurrency on January 1, 2022 is $3720).
It is not clear whether the states are deliberately creating such a tax trading precedent or whether this is still a bug in the system.
It seems to me that the situation is perfectly matched with the mentality of Americans and their interest in crypto.
In Wyoming, by the way, DAO (https://t.me/BCCulture/402) has already been equated with LLC, the current step makes the state the most progressive subject in the country.
Such use cases make even those who were not going to understand how cryptocurrencies work. While in the Philippines and Vietnam, mass adoption comes through games, in rich countries, top-down initiatives can be expected.
