In this discussion, Ion and Mitch dig deeper on play-to-earn, moving on to the design issues to consider when building such games—as well as the many opportunities for growth in Web3 and P2E gaming as it expands to include novel social dynamics and new ways for players to participate as creators and designers themselves.
