The continued web3 guy confusion about how game development works is adorable as is their continued obsession with esports. Which dovetails nicely with general game industry confusion as to how sports work and the hilarious mess that is the usual game company esports effort that tries to go beyond a tactical brand activation into any actual sports-like territory. The conflict between high level play engaging low level players and casual viewers in sufficient numbers is a cursed problem few understand or can grapple with bc it has to do with low skill threshold high emergence systemic properties of games esports have in reverse (high skill threshold low emergence). Football doesn't need live ops while most esports wouldn't have anywhere near the reach without it. Imagine the maximum strength stupid of talking about Ronaldo "reviewing" football, Nadal reviewing tennis or Daniel Negreanu reviewing poker. Sports are built on universal mass market games for a reason. Even the most successful esports started with a massive hit game first that was only a "sport" unofficially and not on any qualities a high level player can articulate since there's no high level yet. Trying to develop a hit game that's successful as a sport first is like trying to suck cement through a straw. Trying to do it in Web3 on top of that is like doing it while standing on your head. On Mars. Won't keep'em from trying though so at least I can get some entertainment out of yet another failed finance bro game. In the meantime the problem with Web3 games remains the same "true ownership" trilemma Web3 guys keep running headlong into as well as the overjustification effect. 🐿️ Follow, hit the bell or subscribe to my game economics newsletter Intrinsic Economies (link below) for more hard won no bs insights about the economics of games and the industry. #gamedesign #web3 #gamedev #esports

Let’s Debate! 🏈💬 "EA Sports College Football 25" is set to launch on July 19th for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S! After a decade-long hiatus, you can once again lead your favorite college team to glory with the return of the beloved Dynasty Mode. This edition of the game promises a fresh and immersive experience with new features like recruiting and the transfer portal. 🚨 But here's the twist: college football has undergone significant changes since 2014. Players can now get paid, the transfer portal is a major game-changer, and conference lineups have shifted dramatically. What do you think about these updates? Are you excited to dive back into Dynasty Mode? Which program will you choose to lead, and why? Let's discuss the pros and cons of these changes and how they reflect the current state of college football. #CollegeFootball #EASports #DynastyMode #Esports #GamingCommunity Source: https://bit.ly/3zcBO7M

I agree and disagree. Just coming from my own perspective as a daily content creator now in the TV space with some real estate in podcasting and having spent almost three decades in radio. Yes, I think it is important to incorporate it into your sports content, but to make it 100% of your content is a mistake. Sports shows are like restaurants. If I went to a restaurant and all they had was one dish, even if that dish was good or great, I’d get bored with it. I think most people would get bored with it. Yes, incorporate it into your shows. Agree on that. But I wouldn’t go all betting, all the time. 60% of sports fans in a relatively recent poll said they never placed a bet on sports. Do you want to alienate them with a bunch of numbers and information that is useful to die hard and some casual sports bettors, but useless to them since they are not betting on sports. I respect everyone who wants to do what they want with their platforms. I recently had a text exchange with someone who decided to go the route of building a sports betting/fantasy platform. This is a smart media guy that I respect a ton. He talked of the struggle because of how crowded the sports betting/fantasy space is. Diversify and reach more people? Or all-in on one thing? 🤔
