A16z-Backed Spekter Games Founder Discusses Crypto Gaming’s Future on Telegram
Taehoon Kim, founder and CEO of a16z-backed Spekter Games, critiques the current state of Web3 gaming as overpromising and underdelivering. "Projects attracted point farmers with token rewards rather than compelling gameplay," he observes, noting a cycle of post-token-generation euphoria followed by player exodus.
Spekter Agency, the studio's flagship mobile roguelite battler, integrates crypto elements via Telegram's mini-app ecosystem. Kim emphasizes Telegram's unique advantage: "Its chat-based super apps bridge Web2's free-to-play model with Web3's ownership potential, lowering user acquisition barriers through seamless invites."
