@nicksnatch tells us that CS:GO, a decade-old first-person shooter game, is the best example of a play-and-own game without blockchain technology integration.

Nick! @nicksnatch

Counterstrike(CS:GO) is the best example of 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐰𝐧 web2 has to offer. 🧵👇🏻

Thoughts on this thread:

CS:GO = proof that a fun Web3 game with only in-game items as digital assets can be successful.

It can be just cosmetic NFTs as well just like the weapon skins in CS:GO.

No need for tokens.

Many games who raised funds 12-18mths ago need to raise again. Those that are unable to will... struggle. Those that succeed will make for great short term trades. 🧵: --> Finding projects that'll successfully raise --> Spotting those who'll fail --> Alpha on upcoming raises

A hot take by @GaspodeWD where he says that Web3 gaming projects shouldn't use the PFP marketing strategy. Read the thread below to know why! 🌶️

GaspodeWD 🎮🎙️📽️ @GaspodeWD

Don't be an Idiot! You shouldn't use PFP marketing for your gaming project! My timeline is full of projects using the PFP marketing tools for their web3 game and it is limiting their reach. The differences in product and audience are stark. Make these changes... 🧵 1/9
