That's good news. I think we would see a lot more game development if devs could just pull their own data rather than having to deal with the full blockchain.

We see this with the front-ends. The Hive API is pretty good for building a front-end, so a lot of them get built.

We would also potentially get some invention / progression into true decentralised gaming (as you outline in your article) which I think would be really interesting.
