Recently, something interesting has happened in the gaming guild circle. Top players are no longer solely relying on scholarships for income; they are starting to diversify their operations. Yield Guild Games is investing real money to develop a professional player training system; Avocado Guild has even developed its own game publishing platform; Merit Circle is pouring funds into game development studios.

The logic behind this is quite clear—the profit model is shifting. It used to be a false prosperity built on token inflation, but now it’s turning towards solid service fee revenues. The data speaks for itself: average profit margins have jumped from 15% directly to 35%, more than doubling. The number of managed players has surpassed 500,000, with $80 million invested annually just in training.

What does this mean? Guilds are no longer just cash machines for capital providers; they have truly become key nodes in the gaming industry chain—capable of aggregating and cultivating player communities, as well as providing capital and distribution channels. The entire ecosystem is transitioning from virtual to real.
