I keep seeing alot of FUD around utility tokens in games, and I feel like people are missing the point. Utility tokens in games are meant to be utility for those gamers. They're not supposed to be a speculative asset class for people taking a break from trading in the markets. The measure of success of the token is it's long term utility - it's ability to strengthen engagement, retention, and even help grow the user base. It's not designed to give you a massive financial return - if it does, that's a byproduct of the engagement, retention, and growing user base, but it's not the point. If you don't have the fundamental product metrics, the token will reflect this as well.
P.S.A. - the vast majority of gaming tokens that have lost value are not scams. They're victims of market conditions, poor tokenomic design, or a lack of customer interest in the core product offering. Just because the price doesn't go up doesn't mean it's a scam. (and yes, scams do exist, but not nearly as often as the timeline may have you believe)

For anyone who has seen me present at Web3 events over the last quarter, the one consistent topic has been interoperability of playable NFT assets. That’s why I’m so pleased that @TheMotorverse (by @animocabrands) is now able to start sharing some of the amazing stuff they’ve been working on, like this partnership with @Lamborghini.
This is just the beginning.
