The continued web3 guy confusion about how game development works is adorable as is their continued obsession with esports. Which dovetails nicely with general game industry confusion as to how sports work and the hilarious mess that is the usual game company esports effort that tries to go beyond a tactical brand activation into any actual sports-like territory. The conflict between high level play engaging low level players and casual viewers in sufficient numbers is a cursed problem few understand or can grapple with bc it has to do with low skill threshold high emergence systemic properties of games esports have in reverse (high skill threshold low emergence). Football doesn't need live ops while most esports wouldn't have anywhere near the reach without it. Imagine the maximum strength stupid of talking about Ronaldo "reviewing" football, Nadal reviewing tennis or Daniel Negreanu reviewing poker. Sports are built on universal mass market games for a reason. Even the most successful esports started with a massive hit game first that was only a "sport" unofficially and not on any qualities a high level player can articulate since there's no high level yet. Trying to develop a hit game that's successful as a sport first is like trying to suck cement through a straw. Trying to do it in Web3 on top of that is like doing it while standing on your head. On Mars. Won't keep'em from trying though so at least I can get some entertainment out of yet another failed finance bro game. In the meantime the problem with Web3 games remains the same "true ownership" trilemma Web3 guys keep running headlong into as well as the overjustification effect. 🐿️ Follow, hit the bell or subscribe to my game economics newsletter Intrinsic Economies (link below) for more hard won no bs insights about the economics of games and the industry. #gamedesign #web3 #gamedev #esports

If you ask kids today what they want to be when they grow up, creator ranks at the top, even higher than a professional athlete. But while there's more opportunity than ever before for creators to work and earn, there also are challenges. Managing an at times unpredictable revenue stream, understanding tax considerations, and not having the luxury of an employer-led retirement vehicle can create challenges, on top of how hard it is to grow and maintain an audience across seemingly ever-evolving channels. That's why I'm so excited for Fidelity Investments's upcoming TwitchCon panel, Mastering Your Money As A Creator. You can tune in below at 5:30pm EST to learn more about these challenges and how creators can start taking steps to build a better financial future. A huge shoutout to everyone involved in making this and the broader Twitch Rivals and TwitchCon sponsorship happen, including Bobby Metcalfe Paddy Tierney Alicia (Dean) Petersen Meredith Sullivan Ryan Yaghmoorian Jaime Guild M.
