The status quo in the "metaverse" industry & web3 gaming at large is to artificially limit land, and then sell land parcels at extreme prices. Is there an alternative? Does infinite land work?
Join guest Charles Smith, Co-Founder of Nifty Island, alongside host Sam Peurifoy, CEO of Playground Labs, a web3/blockchain dev company. Nifty Island is one of the first games to experiment in web3 with unlimited land for players, and instead relies on putting the focus squarely back on the users to add value to the content itself.
