games are one of the riskiest things to invest into in web3, but have the potential to yield some of the highest and safest returns you'll see in crypto

they take a very long time to develop and are extremely expensive w/ crazy overhead; insane competition

but they are simultaneously in the biggest entertainment industry of all time surpassing movies and music having the potential to reach hundreds of millions of users, so growth is the sky if they hit an inflection point of fun, retention & conversion.

e.g. Valorant alone have 25M monthly users globally

they are also safe as its an entertainment vehicle you can argue is recession-resistant and prints billions of dollars

not only is this attractive for CEXs who need this unlock of growth, but to every other protocol and chain that want a piece of the pie

more importantly, games have a much bigger moat due to the cons of time and cost, so they are not as easily replicable as a dex or any flavour of the month chain
