Tokenization has completed a paradigm shift in the gaming industry, but the real test has just begun.

Currently, the industry's focus is on a core issue: how to build a truly sustainable Web3 gaming economy? This is not only about revenue models but also about players' long-term engagement.

Taking "Alien World" as an example, this project deeply analyzes the underlying logic of a healthy token economy—how to design mechanisms that allow participants to gain actual benefits while maintaining the game's ecological balance. Simple and crude token distribution is outdated; what keeps players engaged is a good game.

This also reflects the increasing maturity of the entire Web3 gaming track. Moving from the hype stage to the design stage, those who can ensure long-term sustainability will stand out in this wave.

Honestly, how many projects are truly working on sustainability right now? Most are still just a game of hot potato. Alien Worlds has indeed come up with many solutions, but how many games can really last until next year? No matter how well the token economy is designed, if players can't make money, they'll leave. This problem is too difficult. It's not just about sounding good; there has to be real people playing consistently for it to count.

To be honest, most projects are still just pulling the wool over investors' eyes, and very few truly aim for sustainability. The mechanism of the alien world is indeed interesting, but successful replication is extremely rare. Long-term engagement? Haha, most players are not in it for quick cash-out. There are really not many games that can survive this round; it depends on who can hold on until the end. Token economic design, to put it bluntly, is a dead end; no matter how you balance it, someone will be dissatisfied. Let's wait and see; I feel another round of projects will be eliminated.

That's right. Projects still clinging to the "one coin, one night to get rich" scheme should have died out long ago. In fact, the smartest part of projects like "Alien World" is not greed but knowing how to balance the ecosystem. The real test isn't whether the token appreciates or not, but whether players are still here after six months. Too many projects have failed in the trap of "massive airdrops in the early stages," and without retaining users, everything is pointless. Those who can design a solid economic model are the real winners. This wave of reshuffling is quite necessary. The crypto space is still waiting for the next hundred-fold coin, but these projects are already seriously working on their products. Honestly, I'm tired of the false prosperity created by those "crazy rewards." But the problem is, how many teams actually understand token economic design?

To be honest, those still promoting a "sustainable economic system" are all just trying to scam the newbies. The alien world's mechanism looks good, but how many can really survive the bear market? To keep players engaged, you need real money, not just pie-in-the-sky promises.

To be honest, most projects are still in the hype stage, and only a few can really survive. As for extraterrestrial worlds, I can't say for sure, but the key is whether the team can withstand the bear market. Sustainability sounds good, but ultimately it still depends on new players continuously investing money.

Honestly, projects that are still desperately airdropping for quick gains are basically done for. The mechanism of the alien world might have some merit, but the problem is that most developers simply can't pull it off. Just shouting about sustainability is useless; the data is right there. Very few Web3 games can truly survive, stop the hype. Token economic design is so complicated that many teams don't even understand basic economics. Wait a minute, these so-called "design phase" projects, aren't their token prices still crashing?

To be honest, most Web3 games are still in the stage of harvesting profits, so don't talk about sustainability. Alien Worlds is an exception, but how many projects can be replicated? What truly retains players is never the tokens, but whether the game itself is fun to play. Few projects are likely to survive this wave.

It still sounds like the same old story. Sustainability sounds good, but how many can really last until next year? Good sustainability still depends on new rookies taking over. What’s the point of extraterrestrial worlds? They’ve been gone for a long time. No matter how good the design is, if no one plays, it’s useless. The key is how to attract users... Actually, I mean, how to attract people.

Honestly, most projects that are still promoting sustainability won't survive the next bear market. The mechanism of Alien Worlds looks good, but will players really give up profits for "ecological balance"? Wake up. Talking about hype and design every day, but isn't it just changing names to continue cutting? I just want to see who can really do it.
