Episode notes

The NFL loves concepts like this. It's not just about buying and selling assets in a game, right? That to me is not the exciting part. We're really focused with them around how do you interact with the league? How do you interacting with the teams? And frankly, how do you interacted with the NFL players themselves? I think concepts will bring it out in this game. They were amazing partners; we're glad they kind of bought in and took a risk with us.

The rise of Web3, blockchain, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has disrupted many industries, including video gaming. 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. Their team creates products to drive consumer adoption of distributed ledger tech. John has a deep love for video games and a curiosity for exploring the potential of blockchain technologies.

Learn how the industry has shifted in recent years, the opportunities of the Web3 space, the power of digital assets, converging technologies and concepts, and the tug-of-war between centralization and decentralization within the gaming industry.
