Gunzilla Games 的 Theo Agranat：Web3 游戏怀疑论“将永远存在，并且有充分的理由”

2024年即将结束，游戏行业逐渐成为Web3技术崛起的新温床。

As 2024 nears its end, the gaming industry has become the latest battleground for the rise of Web3 technology.

2024年接近尾声，游戏行业成为Web3技术崛起的最新战场。

Once a niche subsect of gaming, Web3 gaming has surged into the mainstream over the past 12 months, capturing the imaginations of developers about the boundless possibilities that lie ahead.

Web3 游戏曾经是游戏的一个小众分支，但在过去 12 个月中已成为主流，激发了开发者对未来无限可能性的想象力。

Among them, Gunzilla Games has grasped these opportunities early on with its debut title Off The Grid achieving notable success this year.

其中，Gunzilla Games 很早就抓住了这些机会，今年推出的首款游戏 Off The Grid 就取得了显着的成功。

In an interview with crypto outlet CCN.com, Gunzilla Games’ Web3 Director Theo Agranat discussed the obstacles to widespread blockchain adoption in video games, the potential regulatory implications on the industry, and why skepticism will always follow players around.

在接受加密货币媒体 CCN.com 采访时，Gunzilla Games 的 Web3 总监 Theo Agranat 讨论了区块链在视频游戏中广泛采用的障碍、对该行业的潜在监管影响，以及为什么怀疑论总是伴随着玩家。

Catering to Ever-Present Skepticism

迎合始终存在的怀疑论

On October 8, 2024, Gunzilla Games officially launched Off The Grid, a free-to-play battle royale set in a dystopian cyberpunk future. The title stands out for its 150-player multiplayer gameplay and a heavy narrative thread led by Oscar-nominated director Neill Blomkamp, best known for District 9.

2024 年 10 月 8 日，Gunzilla Games 正式推出 Off The Grid，这是一款以反乌托邦赛博朋克未来为背景的免费大逃杀游戏。该游戏因其 150 名玩家的多人游戏玩法和由奥斯卡提名导演尼尔·布洛姆坎普 (Neill Blomkamp) 主导的沉重叙事线索而脱颖而出，尼尔·布洛姆坎普以《第九区》而闻名。

Apart from its rich gameplay, Off The Grid notably features blockchain technology to integrate an NFT marketplace that facilitates the ownership and trading of in-game assets. Unlike other purely Web3 titles, Gunzilla is focused on bridging the gap between traditional gamers and Web3 enthusiasts by presenting blockchain as an optional feature.

除了丰富的游戏玩法外，Off The Grid 还特别采用区块链技术来整合 NFT 市场，促进游戏内资产的所有权和交易。与其他纯粹的 Web3 游戏不同，Gunzilla 致力于通过将区块链作为可选功能来缩小传统游戏玩家和 Web3 爱好者之间的差距。

This decision may be a result of Gunzilla’s acute awareness of the widespread skepticism among players, which they believe is an inherent aspect of the industry that must be catered to.

这一决定可能是 Gunzilla 敏锐地意识到玩家中普遍存在的怀疑态度的结果，他们认为这是该行业必须迎合的固有方面。

“Skepticism will always exist, and for good reason. It keeps game developers honest and drives them to prove their worth through effort,” stated Agranat, noting that even skeptical players are often surprised once they actually try Off The Grid. It feels fully like a traditional title but offers asset ownership, peer-to-peer trading of in-game items, complete verifiable transparency, and other unique advantages brought by blockchain technology.

“怀疑主义将永远存在，而且有充分的理由。它让游戏开发者保持诚实，并促使他们通过努力证明自己的价值。”Agranat 说道，并指出，即使是持怀疑态度的玩家，一旦真正尝试了 Off The Grid，也会感到惊讶。它感觉完全像传统游戏，但提供了资产所有权、游戏内物品的点对点交易、完全可验证的透明度以及区块链技术带来的其他独特优势。

For Gunzilla, ensuring that traditional players can experience Web3 elements without being strong-armed into engaging is key, Agranat added. “In fact, if players wish, they can choose to completely avoid these features. At no point will these features ever impede the players; instead, it’s more like an experience they can freely choose to participate in.”

Agranat 补充道，对于 Gunzilla 来说，确保传统玩家能够体验 Web3 元素而无需强行参与是关键。 “事实上，如果玩家愿意，他们可以选择完全避免这些功能。这些功能绝不会妨碍玩家；相反，这更像是一种他们可以自由选择参与的体验。”

After recently launching on PlayStation 5, Off The Grid has brought in more traditional players, potentially exposing more people to the possibilities of blockchain.

最近在 PlayStation 5 上推出后，Off The Grid 吸引了更多传统玩家，可能会让更多人接触到区块链的可能性。

Prioritizing Product, Compliance

优先考虑产品、合规性

“Gunzilla Games understands that establishing blockchain gaming at the top of the industry comes with its obstacles to overcome.”

“Gunzilla Games 明白，要在行业顶端建立区块链游戏，就需要克服一些障碍。”

Agranat noted that there has been a long-standing distrust between traditional media and players, as well as those existing purely in the Web3 space. However, as more traditional individuals begin to understand the appeal of blockchain, these obstacles are slowly being dismantled, the developer believes.

Agranat 指出，传统媒体和玩家之间以及纯粹存在于 Web3 领域的媒体和玩家之间长期以来存在不信任。然而，开发人员认为，随着更多传统个人开始了解区块链的吸引力，这些障碍正在慢慢被消除。

“We are working to gain recognition from both enthusiastic players and top-tier industry stakeholders.”

“我们正在努力获得热情的参与者和顶级行业利益相关者的认可。”

These efforts will include compliance with potential future regulatory mandates, which seems increasingly crucial especially after recent crackdowns by global regulators.

这些努力将包括遵守未来潜在的监管要求，这似乎变得越来越重要，尤其是在全球监管机构最近采取镇压行动之后。

For instance, Australian Web3 gaming platform Immutable recently became the first blockchain gaming company to receive a “Wells Notice” from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The notice pertains to the company’s IMX token listing and private sale conducted in 2021, with the SEC suggesting that there was no actual value exchange between the parties involved at the time.

例如，澳大利亚Web3游戏平台Immutable最近成为第一家收到美国证券交易委员会（SEC）“威尔斯通知”的区块链游戏公司。该通知涉及该公司在 2021 年进行的 IMX 代币上市和私募，SEC 表示当时涉及各方之间没有实际的价值交换。

However, Agranat believes that as long as regulations remain reasonable, the future norms will be positive. He also stated that developers should work together with regulators rather than opposing them.

不过，阿格拉纳特认为，只要监管保持合理，未来的规范将会是积极的。他还表示，开发商应该与监管机构合作，而不是反对。

“Web3 developers and publishers need to prioritize product and compliance first, and Web3 technology second,” said Agranat. “In my view, this is a healthy direction for progress that will aid the maturation of the entire industry.”

“Web3 开发者和发行商需要首先优先考虑产品和合规性，然后才是 Web3 技术，”Agranat 说。 “在我看来，这是一个健康的进步方向，将有助于整个行业的成熟。”

Highlighting Transparency as Key for Web3

强调透明度是 Web3 的关键

Agranat stated that Gunzilla Games places transparency at the core of its product development, which is also key to the growth of blockchain gaming. The German game developer recently announced that crypto venture capital firm Delphi Ventures will become the largest validator of its blockchain platform GUNZ.

Agranat 表示，Gunzilla Games 将透明度作为其产品开发的核心，这也是区块链游戏发展的关键。德国游戏开发商最近宣布，加密风险投资公司 Delphi Ventures 将成为其区块链平台 GUNZ 的最大验证者。

According to Agranat, the venture capital firm will advise on Gunzilla’s Web3 roadmap, marketing strategies, and the implementation of in-game features, securing its upcoming utility token. The firm will also help create a dashboard to showcase the entire GUNZ ecosystem transparently to players.

据 Agranat 称，这家风险投资公司将就 Gunzilla 的 Web3 路线图、营销策略和游戏内功能的实施提供建议，以确保其即将推出的实用代币。该公司还将帮助创建一个仪表板，向玩家透明地展示整个 GUNZ 生态系统。

“We want players, stakeholders, and partners to know that we take this very seriously,” pointed out Agranat, emphasizing that Gunzilla serves only the player community. He further stated that the labels of Web2 and Web3 have become outdated.

阿格拉纳特指出：“我们希望玩家、利益相关者和合作伙伴知道我们非常重视此事。”他强调 Gunzilla 只为玩家社区服务。他进一步表示，Web2和Web3的标签已经过时。

“In the future, regardless of the technology used to deliver an exceptional user and player experience, all of this will simply be referred to as ‘gaming,'” Agranat

“未来，无论使用什么技术来提供卓越的用户和玩家体验，所有这一切都将被简单地称为‘游戏’，”Agranat
