According to Cointelegraph: Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari and inventor of Pong, expressed optimism for the future of Web3 games during the Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum in Hong Kong on Aug. 25. Bushnell spoke alongside Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu and discussed the past, present, and future of gaming. Bushnell praised Web3 games for their ability to extend the concept of ownership into the digital landscape, stating that games will increasingly imitate all factors of life and that Web3 with blockchain suddenly transmits ownership into the virtual world. Bushnell currently serves as the Chief Knowledge Officer at Web3 gaming company Moxy. Siu pointed to the potential of Web3 games to help economically monetize gameplay as games become a more ubiquitous part of everyday life. Siu also noted some of the issues that have arisen alongside the proliferation of blockchain gaming, such as the introduction of capitalism into gaming systems. Despite the many flaws introduced by the financialization of games, Siu believes that the inherently capitalist element would aid young gamers in gaining a financial education.
