Web3 gaming has enormous potential, but devs have to keep users' interests first and make sure economies are driving real social value.

Join guest John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, alongside host Sam Peurifoy, CEO of Playground Labs, a web3/blockchain dev company. Mythical Games is a game company focused on building player-owned economies by incorporating certain emerging web3 technologies. Mythical made a big splash on the scene with its launch of Blankos Block Party, arguably one of the most casual-friendly introductions to the power of user-owned digital assets. Prior to Mythical, John was a Studio Head at Activision Blizzard on both the Call of Duty and Skylanders franchises.
