I feel as simplicity is key which points to your point about tokenomics. Personally I think success being possible if one or two were to come to be (1) A fun game (2) Profits for players. Players will flock to either one. Creating something that has both will create some very wealthy people.

Or maybe fun games and real monetary value don't mix because of greed and exploits 😜

I think its likely we see a play2earn centralized game created by one of the already exisiting major gaming companies. I use the term play2earn loosely here as any tiny amount given back in WEB2 gaming will seem like lightening striking to those who are only use to forking over cash. It might be the catapult to WEB2 opening their eyes to the possibilities of WEB3.
