Who else remembers TheBeacon? It's finally launching, and they're issuing tokens too... Sigh, the feeling of things changing so much.
The top 3 GameFi projects I played the most back in the day:
First is definitely StepN. During the Shanghai lockdown, I volunteered every day just to be able to walk. At the peak, I walked 100 minutes a day and earned $4,000. Even in heavy rain, I kept walking with an umbrella. Every two days, new green BSC shoes would drop, selling for $20,000. These money-making days lasted over two weeks.
Second is TowerStar. To this day, I still think its gameplay is the best among all GameFi projects. It’s the first GameFi I played purely for fun, not for earning tokens. I played for over a week, cleared it a few times, and finally found it satisfying.
Third is TheBeacon. Although it looks quite simple at first glance, it’s really addictive. The gameplay offers a lot of room for imagination, and the music and visuals overall give a certain sense of quality.
Honestly, back then I spent over $10,000 on various NFTs. Now, I don’t know if they’re worth 10% of that anymore. I can’t really expect to recover much from this token launch, but at least the team hasn’t run away, which is somewhat comforting.
In the GameFi space, it’s not exactly proven wrong, but at least it shows that simply running a Ponzi scheme with a poor shell is becoming less marketable. The paradox is, if I can make a game genuinely fun, I wouldn’t need to do Web3. Going into Web3 narrows the path, and teams doing Web3 are often just trying to harvest users. It’s hard to focus on making a good game.
In the future, the path probably depends on Web3 becoming fully mainstream. Big gaming companies might try to pivot and see if they can carve out a new route.
Season 1 of @The_Beacon_GG goes live May 25 alongside $BCN!
