Daily Insights: Updates on Crypto, Blockchain, NFTs, Web3, and Play-to-Earn Gaming

Google Play has announced a big policy change that will let developers add non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other digital assets to their apps and games. The new rules say that developers have to tell users if their apps use blockchain technology. By adding user-made content and one-of-a-kind NFT rewards, this move is meant to make users more loyal and improve traditional games. Google and Reddit worked together on this change. Reddit is known for its successful Avatar NFTs. The rules make it easier for users to trust apps, but they also keep real-money gambling from happening and stop apps that don't meet the requirements from selling NFTs through in-game purchases.

Watch out for funding traps like false promises of coins and alternative funding. Developers and investors knew that coins had problems with regulations, didn't have much use, and were a distraction. NFTs have some good points, but they also have some bad points. More and more people are using free or low-cost NFT mints to build communities and bring in publishers. There are no guarantees with crowdfunding and risky investments. Coins aren't the answer. If coin launches are no longer an option, some studios will have to shut down. Even though coins are appealing, they make future investments, exit strategies, and consumer decisions more difficult. Learn from your mistakes and consider other ways to get money.

They say that ignoring these factors can hurt the success of game development in a world where competition is growing.

They say that it's important to understand contextualized data, competitive intelligence, and trends data in order to make, monetize, and scale successful games. Sam asks people to look at the market capitalization of companies that put data first and companies that didn't. This will help them make their case. The implication is that companies that made decisions based on data were more likely to get higher market valuations.
