Back then, a bunch of projects just said, "Let's just issue the tokens first and see." Play? Not really.

Back when P2E was popular, it was basically ROI calculators + script players + emotional swings, and the gameplay was ground down and rubbed into the dirt.

Early GameFi = playing while working, it's not really playing, it's grinding.

That’s hilarious. I can already imagine a string of complaints in my head after this opening.

But we can't completely deny it either; at least it popularized the narrative of on-chain assets and player ownership.

The earliest group was just user acquisition → inflation → collapse cycle, and only a few survived.

I still remember logging in every day to check in, clicking around, collecting rewards, like clocking in at work.

Currently, if "playability" is not prioritized first, GameFi will find it difficult to break into the mainstream.

Are you trying to summarize "What exactly went wrong with early GameFi"? Looking forward to the second half.

Ultimately, it was more like "mining + task system" in the early days, not a game, but a profit-generating tool.
