When I grow up, I want to be as smart as Ryan Foo, the Big Brain behind the Metaversus newsletter.
He wrote an expert piece on game monetization and how to shift the model from “play-to-earn” to “play AND earn” (the latter implies that fun is the main driving force behind playing, while profit is merely a pleasant byproduct).
“I’d like to zoom out from the news cycle and write something a little more lasting: a survey of how games have monetized hitherto, how play to earn acts as a new model for monetization, and how this form of monetization can change the relationship between devs and players. I’ll bring in examples from various video game economies along the way.”
It’s a fresh and insightful take on the possibilities of blockchain gaming.

All investment strategies and investments involve risk of loss. Nothing contained in this magical newsletter should be construed as financial or investment advice. We’re just two brains connecting through cyberspace and shooting the shit about the wild world of blockchain gaming, where buzzwords like “crypto” and “NFTs” roam freely. Any reference to an investment's past or potential performance is not, and should not be construed as, a recommendation or as a guarantee of any specific outcome or profit. Remember to do your own damn research and don’t just ape into things like I did with all those shitcoins from the Spring 2021 bull run.
