Did you quit Web3 games after the 2021 P2E craze? Honestly, I get it.

Back then, Yield Guild Games had a simple and blunt logic—make money first, worry about whether the games are fun later. What happened? As soon as the hype died down, a ton of games died off too. But the story doesn’t end there.

YGG didn’t disappear like other projects. They hit the reset button, learned from all their previous mistakes, and came back with something big. Now, they’re done chasing trends and hyping up concepts—instead, they’re working on something real: helping players find games they actually want to play, and letting them earn a little on the side.

It’s not that “grind for mining rewards” kind of earning, but more like you genuinely want to play, and any earnings are just a bonus. Shifting from “profit-first” to “gameplay-first” might not sound dramatic, but for the GameFi space, it could be a game-changing transition. After all, nobody wants to stare at numbers all day—unless the game itself is truly addictive.

Basically, YGG's recent move was a wake-up call. In 2021, everyone was chasing the numbers, but it ended in chaos. Can they truly hold on this time, prioritizing gameplay without falling back? Or should we wait and see?

Really, the P2E wave has truly disappointed many people; there are too many projects that just run after taking the profits. YGG's return this time is somewhat sincere, but it depends on whether they can genuinely improve the gameplay in the future. Anyone can talk big on paper.

YGG this time has finally faced reality, but honestly, just making it this far is quite an achievement. Back then, many projects died leaving nothing behind, and this guy still managed to turn around? That's interesting.

To be honest, YGG's recent moves are pretty interesting; finally, a project has figured things out.

Transitioning from pure mining to real gaming sounds simple, but very few can actually pull it off.

Just worried that they might start introducing new concepts to exploit newcomers again later.

To be honest, YGG’s move this time shows they’ve gotten smarter, but I’ll still wait and see—there were just too many pitfalls in the past couple of years.

To be honest, YGG’s reflection this time does show some sincerity. Shifting from pure mining to prioritizing gameplay—how many pitfalls did they have to go through to figure that out...

But then again, how many people still truly believe that GameFi can make a comeback? It’s a bit doubtful.

To be honest, YGG did reflect quite quickly this time and didn't end up as an unfinished project in the sector.

YGG's attitude in admitting their mistake is pretty decent this time, but to be honest, I'm still waiting to see what happens next. There have been plenty of projects with catchy slogans.
