Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make.

I really just don’t care to be in any drama, but since I’ve made @yellowpantherx thousands of dollars and brought him many deals
I will address this respectfully.
1. Making a post about me unfollowing you over a month ago is weird. I’m sure you’re a busy guy with many opportunities. Me unfollowing you doesn’t hinder that. So idk if you’re bored or something? Anyway, it’s no hard feelings on my end.
2. I unfollowed you because you have changed as a person. You used to be a hard worker and cheered on people working hard. Now you are lazy, entitled, and just flex wealth with no underlying lesson for people to learn. It cluttered my feed it’s not what I want to see.
3. You call me a monster in your comments, but you had consistently taken my deals that gave you direct money. You didn’t seem to complain then. I stopped bringing you deals because you acted like Brad Pitt in a low niche gaming market and the CTA was diminishing.
4. I unfollowed many people. I’m just cleaning my feed. It wasn’t just you. I’m busy with my work and I’m just not interested in this web3 gaming cabal drama anymore
Not saying more on this. This is a petty waste of time.

Seeing people defend Nyan Heroes today has made me incredibly depressed about the future of this space
It is NOT normal to raise $13,000,000 and deliver 4 demos made out of asset flips in 4 years of dev
If you guys don't understand this sooner than later, web3 gaming is done.

Sad to hear that @nyanheroes is shutting down. This is the web3 gaming landscape for a lot of teams that are trying to build products for gamers.
It’s an incredibly tough market and if you aren’t selling speculation you run the risk of this happening. Nyan’s team was incredibly passionate and it’s sad to see that they are winding down.
It's been about 1 month since our 4th playtest.
We're incredibly grateful for the positivity and support that you have shown for our latest release and all of our prior playtests.
Unfortunately, despite the amazing progress that we made over the years, the latest product failed to drive the player numbers that we'd been hoping for, and with the current challenges in the web3 market, we couldn’t secure the funding required to keep the studio going.
We are proud of what we've achieved to date. Thanks to your support, more than a quarter of a million players have wishlisted the game on Epic and Steam, and over a million players have joined us across four playtests. Your enthusiasm helped us top Epic Games trending and most played charts on numerous occasions and have featured in traditional media outlets including IGN, Business Insider and Game Rant.
Despite these accomplishments and discussions around publishing, new investments, grants and acquisition - we weren't able to secure the required capital to see the game to completion. This is not the outcome we were hoping for. The industry is in a tough spot right now and Nyan Heroes will unfortunately be closing its doors.
In our time together, the team has achieved incredible progress and demonstrated that its possible to do amazing work while fostering a culture of fun and creativity.
We're collectively heartbroken that we wont be able to bring our cat-inspired universe to completion.
Thank you to everyone who supported us in our journey.

Met someone today from Philippines. Their job is to transcribe audio and video files from a major venture backed startup that claims to use AI to do it.

Many web3 companies will be closing their doors in the next 3-6 months
Revenue has dried up for many, and teams are overspending
In talking with some founder and VC friends, it’s evident that many were not prepared for this level of instability in the market
This will include games, dapps, marketplaces, chains, protocols and more, and it’s already started
Companies that were cautious with spending and differentiated their product suite will come out on top

The best move Tim Apple can make right now is to drop the AppStore fee to 10%. If he does that a vast majority of games will not build a web store. Won’t be worth it.
Will Apple make the right move?
