Not wrong TD, this is some actual research being done. Heh, probably worth a lot more than $15k GP is.
People who play games rarely think what goes on into making one function to an acceptable degree, the developers are really not even main cost of the big games on the market, the marketing and publishers take most of the top line sales figures. Steam offers indie devs a way to make money without selling their souls, but Steam is now really bloated and a money making machine for Gabe without any real new development in years.
Think what games that came out of nowhere to have millions of players would achieve having crypto integration, most probably one they own ofc .. but someone has to make it. For the new game developers growing up now, crypto will be a given in a few years time, just like how mobile and internet games are now. As city populations grow and more devices people have and less physical work, the gaming industry is barely getting started.
Without the need for publishers for small studios, more will actually become game devs. == speaking of small studios and no publishers, everyone know about Star Citizen? $100mil crowdfunded Chris Roberts (Wing Commander) space .. thing game. He wanted to fund $2mil to show publishers there is a space sim demand and get $18mil to make a $20mil game, which ballooned to the biggest baddest game anyone is making right now or ever attempted. /// Why? He targeted the right people at the right time with the right idea.
