Web3 Gaming sucks’ says Ava, 2M Bitcoin Miner players make 13c: Web3 Gamer

From Ava Labs with love: ‘Web3 Gaming Sucks’

Meanwhile in another corner of the crypto-sphere, Ava Labs is busy handing out slap-downs to Web3 gaming. Ouch, right? You’d think the decentralized tech guys would have a little more faith in the game.

But here’s the twist. Ava Labs isn’t just some run-of-the-mill DeFi analytics firm. They’re pioneers at the helm of Avalanche, a platform built for decentralization. Which has us thinking: what if they’re on to something?

What’s the deal with 13 cents?

Before we dive into that, let’s take a hard look at these 2M Bitcoin Miner players ‘earning’ a whopping 13 cents a day. Now I’m not an economics prodigy, but having millions of players earning that kind of amount doesn’t exactly sound thrilling.

It’s more grind than grand, but heck, apparently two million players think it’s worth their while. Which could either mean that we’re sorely lacking in our understanding of ‘fun’ or that players are finding real value in the process.

More likely, it’s a bit of both. These players could be future crypto enthusiasts getting a toe-hold in the virtual economy… or perhaps they just appreciate the satisfaction of grinding away and earning something tangible, no matter how minuscule.

Now, back to Ava Labs

So why exactly is Ava Labs thumbing their noses at Web3 gaming? It might look like they’re just being contrary, but perhaps they see potential pitfalls that the rest of us have missed. Maybe they’ve perceived a threat to the purity of the Web3 space, where ‘play to earn’ could devolve into ‘exploit to earn’

Or perhaps we’ve misread their intentions altogether. Instead of a disdain for the current state of Web3 gaming, could Ava’s statement be a not-so-veiled challenge for developers to create more truly exciting, meaningful, and fair Web3 gaming experiences?

Only time will tell how these trends will play out, but one thing’s certain: the decentralized finance and gaming sectors are evolving in earnest, with sparks flying in all directions. And isn’t that just a wonderful time to be alive?
