Remember the explosive rise (and subsequent correction) of Play-to-Earn (P2E) gaming? Titles like Axie Infinity captured imaginations, promising a world where leisure time directly translated into tangible earnings. It was revolutionary, intoxicating, and for a time, incredibly lucrative for early adopters. But the initial model, often reliant on unsustainable tokenomics and attracting more speculators than gamers, faced a harsh reality check.
So, is Web3 gaming dead? Far from it. Like any pioneering technology, it's iterating, learning, and respawning smarter. The narrative is shifting from pure "Play-to-Earn" to more sustainable and engaging models like "Play-and-Earn" or, perhaps more accurately, "Play-and-Own."
