Episode notes

It's actually super hard to bet on games. I think VC money in games is a sort of relatively more recent phenomenon. A16G just created their first games fun recently, even though they've been investing in games for the last maybe seven or eight years. So where it's driven by taste, it's a lot harder to predict what will be the winners. You can't just apply pure logic to it. But now that you're basically creating economies, it's easier to bet on founders that know how to build virtual economies and turn them into open web for economies.

Yield Guild Games is the largest gaming guild in Web 3 and have invested in standout Web 3 game titles like Axie Infinity, Sandbox and more . To date, they claim to have helped 30,000 players worldwide earn over $10 million playing Web 3 games thanks to their scholarship model.

Today, Yield Guild Game’s Co-Founder Gabby Dizon shares with us:

2 new ways Web 3 guilds are evolving
3 ways to make Web 3 games “fun”
Framework on investing in games
2 games Gabby is excited for
