Why crypto games shouldn’t monetize too early

Monetizing your blockchain game before it’s fun? That’s like selling tickets to a concert before booking the band—Wall Street would be proud, but players will revolt.

The play-to-earn trap

Pumping out tokenomics before gameplay loops are polished burns two things: player trust and your project’s longevity. Axie Infinity’s early adopters got rich—until they didn’t.

Build first, extract later

The games that last—see Gods Unchained’s slow burn—prioritized retention over quick flips. Daily active wallets don’t lie.

Crypto gaming’s at a crossroads: become the next mobile gaming cash grab, or prove web3 can actually make games better. Your move, founders.
