According to TechFlow, on September 4, game developer Mino Games announced that its roguelike card building game Dimensionals will fully switch to the Web2 model, completely abandoning the previously integrated blockchain technology and NFT functions.
According to Mino Games CEO Sash MacKinnon, Dimensionals initially launched the Genesis Stone NFT series in March 2023, aiming to attract mainstream players for the upcoming game. However, the project faced many challenges from the beginning: the whitelist giveaway event was attacked by a large number of robots, the project suffered multiple DDoS attacks, and the changes in the NFT market landscape caused the royalty income to drop to zero.
Although Mino Games launched a non-blockchain version on Steam in March 2024, MacKinnon admitted that the Web3 project ultimately resulted in huge financial losses. He said: "We chose the wrong track." The company then decided to fully switch to the Web2 game model to attract a wider audience.
