Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How Games Are Changing to Empower Everyone
[1:30] – Zachary shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Your capacity of success is determined largely by your ability to suffer well. Your willingness to suffer more is a key aspect of reaching your full potential.
[2:34] – What are the problems you see with gaming?
- Before you needed to own a piece of media in order to play.
- Today you just need to pay a license fee to play.
- Developers are constantly pushing you to make new purchases. And this is a major anti-consumer practice.
[4:44] – How does blockchain help solve these problems?
- Blockchain is a key concept in understanding true ownership.
- If the blockchain system says it is your asset, then it is your asset.
- Blockchain is now the most reliable indicator of ownership.
[6:01] – If I truly own my digital assets, why don’t I have full control over them?
- There are different blockchains. We are not yet to the point that these chains can talk to each other effectively.

[10:24] – Isn’t blockchain game development notoriously difficult?… How can we become part of, or follow along with, this process?
- Game development on its own is already hard. It is more difficult to create games on Blockchain.
- But because of the advantages that blockchain gives us, it worthwhile to lower that barrier.
[13:59] – Aren’t NFTs bad for the environment?
- Ethereum NFTs gets the most media attention by far. It is very slow and energy inefficient – most especially it is bad for the environment.
- But what people are missing is that there are tons of NFTs that are not bad for the environment.
- Wax is thousand of times faster and more light weight compared to Ethereum, and it’s certified carbon neutral.
[16:31] – Zachary talks about Draco Dice
- Draco Dice has 3 goals:
- Allow people to use their digital assets in more than one game.
- Allow people to bring their digital assets back and forth between different blockchains.
- Lowering the barrier for blockchain game development by providing other developers with these blockchains integrated assets that can be plugged into their own games.
