Episode notes

The new Generation Z, kind of Gen Z consumers right now, their digital identity is everything to them. So I think there's the concepts of interoperability of can you take an asset and be able to move that between experiences? We can kind of do that already with Web 3 actually providing an amazing layer to start doing that. Now there's a second piece right now, which is the production of those assets, right? There's not, I don't think they'll really ever be a one-size-fits-all, right?

To help us unpack the role of Web3 in the video game industry is John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, a game tech studio pioneering digital asset ownership, scarcity, and secondary markets.
