“Those of us in Web3 gaming are well aware that things aren’t working, but few seem to want to buck the status quo trend because the road less traveled isn’t for the feint at heart; it’s for pioneers and those who dare to defy,” Smart concludes. “And so, here I am, once again at the cusp of one of my greatest challenges, and what I believe to be my last hoorah, if you will.”

Derek smart, humble as always...

You can stop there. That's because so-called "web3 gaming" solves a problem that only exists in the mind of the dozen vocal idiots that want it to happen. And that problem is mostly "I don't really like video games, but I would play if that game was just about thinly veiled real money transactions instead".
