It's really interesting. I can think of the game Hashkings I invested quite a bit as the CEO was promising to know a lot about economics and how a web3 game should work. In the end it didn't work because I can see now their mechanics were to offer new and new and new and new assets, new in-game things, new NFTs to buy and obviously, as you say, that sounds like a ponzi scheme because if there's no new people or new things where you spend money on, then they don't have the money to keep up with the work, the pay developers, to keep the value of the token high. Anyway, he was always making fun of the way Rising Star game was working with the economics and it's funny how Rising Star is still up and going and Hashkings is not. The only thing is Rising Star has made some measures to keep the game going and to keep the economics going and it went down quite a lot, the StarBits, but it's still hanging there. The thing is they are waiting for Bull Run to come, for it to come back up again. So are the games always depending on the market? And I think yes, because that's what happens to coins and tokens. They depend on the market. So it's not an easy task to have a web3 game and keep it alive.
No bull run can fix the economy of the game. If the players are poor, and players the game as farming opportunity, it is guaranteed to fail, only matter of time.
