## Description

The Web3 Gaming Revolution is coming--this talk debunks some of the myths of Web3 gaming including the misperception that this revolution will be an end user driven revolution. Web3 gaming revolution will be led by developers, largely indie developers who are removing the large, sucking rent-seeking intermediary of the publishers. So there will be a revolution in the way that games receive financing including the participation of DAOs.
