The Web3 gaming industry struggles to attract mainstream users due to its focus on financial incentives rather than enjoyable gameplay.

For GameFi to thrive, either a Web2-like AAA game needs to integrate cryptocurrency or an innovative on-chain game with a thriving economy emerges. Autonomous Worlds, where all game logic and assets exist on-chain, present a unique opportunity for game innovation and the creation of a shared game universe. In the future, successful Web3 games will align with Web2 counterparts in user experience, with blockchain remaining a background solution for issues like closed code and non-interoperability.
