Behind the Mic
ow, that's the last thing and which actually supposed to be the first thing, but, yeah, that's what we need to ask them. So, yeah, totally. I completely agree. Always starting. I'm a marketer, so like the always starting with, like, ask your community before you assume what your community wants would definitely be the first step. I know we have some people that have asked questions, so I want to make sure we save some time. I have some more questions on our list, but we can get to them after. So Tim, I know you've been waiting very patiently. I will bring you up as a speaker and then we'll head to Jonathan, Tim, if you're there. Hi. Welcome. Do you have a question for the panelists? I do, and thank you for bringing me up. I've enjoyed the space. I am a web two developer, so I'm gonna have some things that people are gonna like and some things that aren't be liked. When I look at gaming code, I think of it as a centralized black box type of code thing. However it we have, we do now have an opportunity to integrate with web three. Decentralized, you know, blockchain can bring in people like you buy things, they can have tokens, nfts, all that stuff that enhances the code base and the marketing opportunity. However, you know, the bulk of the code is still centralized. So I'm wondering, I'm asking a question to the panel, how you kind of circle that square. Yeah. Does that make sense as a question? I mean, you know, I'm throwing it out there. No, I totally get the questions. I'm happy to take a first stab at it. So I think that the idea of everything being open source and community owned and totally decentralized is one of those things that web three ethos perhaps got a little too camped out in originally. It is just the truth that there is going to be some core concentration of people that are doing the creation of the game, the management of the assets, development of the code base for sure. Again, I come from web two games. I've been working in that space for 15 years and it is not, I think, yet feasible or reasonable to assume that we're going to build like the first call of duty equivalent. That's going to be entirely with bounties decentralized otherwise. But what we are seeing is blockchain and nfts really being able to benefit communities, building player owned economies. People are building wealth inside of games, transferring that wealth between games, participating and helping to get to content and defining the path forward for the games. These things are all really possible when you start to turn over some of the ownership to the community. So when I look at call of duty, I'm like, you know what, that class a title..? Yeah, I'm never, I don't see that ever happening, being totally decentralized anytime soon. But something like the equivalent of like supercell games, mobile based, more agile, more iterative, where you have a web 3 first party economy that has a layer integrated. I think those are the things that we're starting to see, and I'm sure the other founders that are on will have other thoughts on how this space is going to iterate and you know where we're going to go. So I welcome you to answer as well, but I think, you know, slow steps. Yeah, I'm then I can jump in here. I fully agree with you, Yassi, it's a bit of a numbers game at the end of the day and it's about getting seasoned talent in the industry and gaming that actually can execute. And we were very fortunate that we managed to poach a lot of great guys from some great properties to come and build on a dream. Now for us as well, it could have happened without seeing the light. So we wanted to embrace having some element of it that is… and we embrace and distilled the true values of web 3 through some form of token ownership. And prioritizing the community's role in the medium and longer term development plans and then collaborate with them closely and be able to be agile and polish. Is the web 2 players in the space, because, you know, for every one web very exaggerated percentage, but every one or two game developer, you'll have like ten web 2 developers. So it's key to retain that talent, get people excited about it and the fact that you have some piece of web 3 infrastructure there with web 2 content creation capabilities that could be massive. So super excited about what we can do here and we're moving quickly to line with the utility and the product vision. I don't know what plays down Jason, John are your thoughts here. Yeah, I can hop in piggyback off that really quickly and say, yeah, I 100% agree with all that. I think the one thing that maybe we can drill down on a tiny bit, it's a great question, Tim, is there's spectrum, right? There's like always shading and grays like blockchain nfts, web 3, crypto. They're all about making middlemen, gatekeepers go away. But if you make every single person in a project an employee of the project, I think I heard say, that you're not gonna get triple a games from a from a bunch of people who want to be entrepreneurs. Essentially, you have to have people who want to work on the project. You have to have people who are dedicated, who've got the talent to carry it to fruition. But you can still have ownership be decentralized. You can still have pieces of the world decentralized and built and owned by the players and you can still have a very thriving organization or company that is top down. It says this is what the game is. We're gonna go build it and we'll take your feedback, right? It's sort of like a co creation aspect. The ownership aspect is that to me is, again, it's almost a false dichotomy. Like you can't we can't get in a place where either you're fully decentralized or fully centralized. We have to iterate over time. The world's not black and white. So that's kind of my answer to that question. I think it's a fantastic question. Yeah. And I think what's really important is that, you know, gaming industry is different in different parts of the world. In the western world, the more you can decentralize and make an open economy or own economy with NFT's and cryptocurrencies, the better off you are because of the infrastructure we have in the western world, where we have laws, taxes, regulation of the pivy. We have everything we need to build an open economy around entertainment, which makes it very difficult for other parts of the world. But I think that's where blockchain, nfts bring this layer of meshing formality, the informal market, which we have a lot in Africa, parts of Asia, south to say. So really exciting. I love the question. Thank you for fielding it to us. Yeah, that's a great explanation. And I totally agree with everything that the other guys said. I think, you know, coming from the perspective of someone who wasn't game development for 20 years before I joined into blockchain, you know, we really liked those quick wins and there's nothing like, if you're into blockchain already, well hearing that there's in the roadmap something that could become integrated in future, it definitely excites you more. Now, there's definitely going to be use cases on both sides, as the guys have explained. But for now I think just embracing what we have is really important in the short term. So yeah, that's great question. And, you know, hopefully we can see that come to fruition in a shorter space than everybody expects. Yes. Let's go, Jonathan. Hey guys. So I just have a comment. I just have to say, I'm so fascinated, like, wow, like, we're still at such a bit of an early phase. Like just thanks for sharing all these amazing insights. That's all I have to say, like, it's really amazing and fascinating how we can deal with these challenges together. That's it. Thank you. Yeah. And to echo Jonathan as well. I'm really encouraged by how much the space is growing to actually see remarkable things happening with AI. There's so much more we're capable of. …amazing space that has been created after so many years and opportunities that you mentioned in Central Africa. Utilize the ideas that have never been imagined. Even five years ago, I think this will continue to evolve really well. Alright. I'm really excited to see where web 3 nfts bring us over the next few years. So thank you, Jonathan. Alright, we have another requester who is going to bring to the stage oops and he went off again, so people are coming up and off your having issues please raise your hand comment. As we mentioned before, we're utilizing AI powered technology at our Playfly platform, which ensures campaigns are reaching the right people from the very beginning and we help drive value and loyalty for partners. You want to create an engaging environment for all players, so love to hear more about your experiences playing and how we will improve. So yeah, check out our website, the process and campaign points dashboard. You can find that at airdrop playfi AI. And we're going to have our main net launch and token generation event later this year, probably September, October. We're targeting. And so this is where you can start doing engagement, getting involved in the community, really having a lot of cool stuff going on there. And finally, we're always looking for people to partner with. We've already spoken to some of the people on this panel and some of the people in the audience, and we'd love to hear from more of you. So if you think what we're doing is interesting or you'd love to be a case study for our technology or just do some cross promotion together. Please reach out to us on Twitter, on our socials, on our website. We'd love to work with you. And thanks again so much Kim for having us. This was really fun and it was great chatting with all the other panelists. Awesome. Thank you all for joining. I know these panels take a lot of time in prep and organization, so we appreciate everyone coming together to all talk about gaming. For everyone in this space, this is the official kickoff to Game Expo. Expo Plaza is now live. Like I mentioned, there's over 20 wearables and emotes that are for free to claim throughout the event. So make sure you jump in, go explore, and 100% make sure you play some games this week so the live schedule and everything that's going on, you can go to decentraland.org Game Expo and that's where you can find the schedule of live talks. This is one of ten that we are doing over the next few days, so you will hear a lot from me and we will be doing live tours, community tours, gaming, conversations with the developers. So a lot of fun stuff happening this week, so be sure to follow along and help us share all of the exciting things that are happening during game expo. Thank you all so much for coming. Apologies for going over and I hope to see you in world soon. Thanks everyone. Have a great day. Thank you. Thank you. Keep giving thanks everyone. Bye.
