• See more activity now on the Starknet (BTCFi narrative) + bit of games launch also on there
• Now after the Korea Blockchain Week + Tokyo Game Show + SG Token2049 event finish, last potential conference for the year now the YGG Play Summit in Philippines (Nov 19 - 22)
• Good read about State of Steam Wishlists — Median conversion ratios about 0.10 - 0.15x for non-adult, regularly priced games but success varies (10-20x range) depending on factors like genre, virality and pricing rather than launch timing
• Recommend watch the DealMakers podcast
— “The best founders make you a little uncomfortable. They’re either so smart or so driven that you immediately know you want to be part of their story."
— "Find out what you're good at, spend time to become the best at it and assemble a team of others who spent time to hone their own talents and that's ideally a team that you'd also want to invest in"
• Cartridge — Partnering with Popularium, new game studio from designer Richard Garfield to launch its second title, Prevarus

• Game Discover Co — State of Steam wishlist conversions (2024 - 2025)

Experiment using ERC20-C AppTokens where rewards and unlocks are based on reputation (Karma) and meaningful ecosystem actions are rewarded instead of pure staking or day-one speculation. $FISH to launch in a spend-only form ($xFISH) with controlled conversion to $FISH and the end goal of showing that contribution-based incentives can reward real participants instead of bots and day-one sellers

…in the game of venture lotto, "too much money chasing too few deals" is an oft-cited phrase among VCs who find themselves in competition for deals. The most sought after deals are led by proven entrepreneurs. Especially popular are serial entrepreneurs who have made money before - they get investors lining up like sheep.
Ironically, the people who end up creating the blockbusters are usually unproven. They emerge from the fringes, and start small, in niche or overlooked markets. — Read More
