RE: Are We Gamers?

Both the articles you linked are fascinating. I like the writing style and they bring up many valid points.
Logically, I believe that some version of Web3 gaming "play to own" or "play to earn" should be the future. How does the industry get there? That we still haven't figured out.
When I first joined Splinterlands, I figured the company had, or would have, plans to earn income through outside sources such as ad revenue, sponsorships, partnerships, etc, to supplement income from product sales.
If we can borrow ideas from Fortnite and other free-to-play models, I think we have the chance to succeed. We're starting to see some of that with the new skins released.
To answer the title question, I consider myself a gamer first. Tokenomics is secondary for me, but it adds a nice extra dimension beyond traditional gaming. I view the tokenomics as a game within a game, but secondary for me.
We need monetary backing from large investors. Amazon didn’t make any money for 10 years. But they had a product and they have the investors.
That’s what web 3 needs
Hopefully, investors who want to stay in the ecosystem and will also provide advice and guidance to the team and community.
I was talking about investors like blackrock, or Mark Cuban etc
I figured that's what you meant. I was thinking the same, Cuban or another shark tank type investor to stay and give advice. A group from from Sand Hill Road like A16Z would be great.
