Web3 Was a Failure…Will Gaming Save it? with Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla

from Modern CTO · host ProSeries Media

Web3 crashed and burned when it first rolled out. But now, it’s picking up steam in gaming. Today, we're talking to Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. We discuss why the first wave of Web3 gaming collapsed into pyramid schemes, how blockchain technology is being reimagined to enhance gameplay instead of replace it, and why creator economies and decentralized ownership could finally solve the cold start problem that's been holding back mass adoption. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!  To learn more about Xsolla, check out their website here.
