An update for Azra Games, one of the highly anticipated Web3 gaming studios by @GreenGeorgeEth
Azra Games is being led by a former GM of EA Capital Games where he helped launched Star Wars: GoH (brought $1B in revenue and had 100M+ downloads). This game is EA's most successful mobile game for 6 consecutive years.
The game studio is also being backed by big names like a16z 👀

@ClouDzFTW provides an overview of Shrapnel, an upcoming AAA-rated FPS game!
AAA is not an overstatement word to use to describe this game
Shrapnel is being developed by people who've worked on big FPS titles such as Halo and Bioshock 🎮
Here's a pre-alpha gameplay clip of Shrapnel that was released about 3 months ago. The game looks promising 👌

If you have missed out on the recent AMA of Moonlit Games, then don't worry.
@Web3_Memento has summarized it for us!
If you're not familiar with Moonlit Games, here's another thread on the Web3 game studio below by @Web3_Memento (again)
I’m personally bullish on this studio as they're focusing on developing indie and casual games which I think would take over the Web3 gaming space first.
They’re also under the leadership of individuals who have previously worked for big gaming companies such as Ubisoft, Zynga, and PopCap (an EA studio) 👇

@sparkcsays explained to us the huge mistake that Createra, another metaverse project, has made 🍵
Lessons to learn here:
🔹 As a Web3 game grows, gatekeeping all of its UGC content behind capped NFTs is a bad idea
🔹 Developers should always prioritize transparency and announce all essential information to their community. Well, after all, Web3 games are supposed to be more transparent right? ...

A potential major catalyst?
Amazon invests in the Web3 space focusing on Web3 gaming and NFTs 🎮
