One time payment games and micro transaction games already exist. Consumers prefer the former and despite the latter, and absolutely hate ones which have both!

One time payment games and micro transaction games already exist. Consumers prefer the former and despite the latter, and absolutely hate ones which have both! Are you a gamer at all?
The roll up part makes no sense at all, I think you’re missing my point entirely.
- mattdesl 4y agoThe game developer can decide how to monetize. They can charge $0 or $1 or $50 for the game itself, and take 0% or 5% or 25% from each transaction in the UGC marketplace. An "Ethereum Rollup" is just a "fast blockchain" that has very similar security guarantees as Ethereum. If you wanted to take payments, create UGC markets, and record asset ownership without a blockchain, you are back to centralized services and their constraints. I do play and develop games and have spent $ on games, and would like more of my $ to go toward the game publisher and content creators rather than intermediaries and app stores. I also would like to own digital assets that are more composable, and not tied to a single company's servers or app stores. This is the model that Dark Forest[1] is exploring.
