Web3 Games Fooled Us

"Metaverse" failed, so they spun a new empty narrative.

Hundreds of well-funded crypto games collapsed. They claimed "mass adoption" with < XXX TPS chains, unfit even for a niche viral game.

Hyper-viral games demand 50K to 20M interactions per second. You can not have an elephant in the backseat of your bike 🚲

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Reason 2, as @0xPaulThomas noted, is that teams focus too much on incentives, not enough on fun.

Web2 games offer no rewards yet retain users, while web3 games offer millions and still fail.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Reason 3, There is no such thing as a web3 game. It's just games with web3 tech. Often, these are gimmicks for raising funds and farming the farmers.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

And this is why @Somnia_Network makes the most sense.

Not to patch broken narratives.
Not to repackage laggy pixel worlds.

But to deliver:
β€’  1M+ TPS for real-time, global-scale gameplay
β€’  Fully on-chain interactions, millions moving, trading, fighting, in sync
β€’  Plug-and-play EVM compatibility so builders focus on games, not infrastructure hacks

It’s built for a world where the line between game and metaverse disappears.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Even if you're not into the gaming meta, you would still like to Pivot to Somnia as Paul mentioned it in his interview with @calebrebelo_

NFTs, Entertainment industry, DeFi or anything that'll onboard millions of new users in Crypto.
