The web3 gaming scene feels like it’s on life support and it’s lost its way. But there’s a saviour sailing through the storm. To see it clearly, we need to look back because the past doesn’t just shape the future, it lays the foundations of what is to come… In 2018, a quiet spark lit the flame we now call web3 gaming: Axie Infinity. That spark became a beacon: - Real lives changed - Millions onboarded - Digital economies formed Then the tide turned: - Studios shut down - Communities drifted apart - Hype drowned out purpose Many walked away. Ronin moved forward. What started as Axie’s sidechain has become a full blown gaming-first blockchain a mission-driven ecosystem focused on improving lives through gaming. A new kind of digital nation built for players, by players. These are the titles (from Ronin) I believe will carry the next wave beyond the CT bubble: 1. Axie Infinity & Atia’s Legacy 2. Pixels 3. Fishing Frenzy 4. Forgotten Runiverse 5. Fableborne Now it’s important to talk about something believed to be lost…The Ronin Effect. Industry folk used the term to describe the crazy DAU spikes from games joining Ronin BUT they missed The Real Ronin Effect, how these games changed lives by giving people: - Joy - Access - Opportunity A future where players own, not just participate and that ownership drives meaning, connection, and loyalty to the brand and one another. Since stepping away from Moonfrost (a project close to my heart), one question kept following me... “What’s next?” Today, I’m proud to share that I’ve joined Sky Mavis as their Social Media & Channel Strategist. This is more than a "reply guy" role. It’s about: - Deepening community bonds - Running bold growth experiments - Expanding Sky Mavis beyond the CT echo chamber TL;DR: Same Jase + Larger Impact = More lives changed through the power of gaming. Now if you haven’t started your Ronin journey yet, comment 'The Real Ronin Effect' below and I’ll send you a DM to chat and get you up to speed. 🌊💙
