Every week, I have to turn down some blockchain game projects that want me to do advertising. Usually, I reject them without even asking.
The logic behind rejecting blockchain game advertisements is:
1. If the blockchain game team is strong and the product is good and worth supporting, I would support it even without compensation. If the project team doesn't approach me, I will proactively reach out to them to get some early testing invitation codes for experienced blockchain game players in my community to play. Whether I will participate heavily afterwards depends on the game quality after trying it out. The trial itself can also reveal the team's ability to operate Web3 games.
2. The reason for emphasizing early stages is that if a blockchain game distributes a large amount of assets early on, it could create a high entry barrier for players joining later. At that point, buying in means you are likely just taking over someone else's losses, so if you miss the mid to late-stage projects, just let it go, no need to participate.
3. If the blockchain game team is just there to exploit players and their product is terrible, then sorry, I have no desire to know you. Many of the teams looking for quick success immediately ask KOLs whether they do advertising, which shows their operational ability is already in the pit. Therefore, any team that comes to me asking if I will take their advertising will be answered with a no, meaning I don't want to know you.
4. If I wouldn't want to know the team behind the blockchain game project, why would I spend money to help promote it? That would mean I’ve lost my mind.
5. I don’t take any blockchain game advertisements because I lack confidence in my judgment. After playing blockchain games for three years and losing a lot, why should I recommend new blockchain game projects to others? I am not a KOL/influencer, just a sad player who has lost a lot, along with other players, holding onto the hope for the rise of blockchain games, continuing to play and test, hoping to discover revolutionary blockchain game projects.
6. It’s not too late to take advertisements when I feel I have the judgment ability.
