It’s all about believing that when it comes to great ideas that do good, there’s strength in numbers…It’s also about Abraham Lincoln.
Yield Guild Games is more than just a leading gaming guild — they are a force of nature within the blockchain gaming world, looking to alter both the perception of what a guild can be, and bring the P2E model to as many game developers as possible.
YGG has risen to prominence on more than just its gaming skills — their Sponsor-A-Scholar program received praise for helping expand the reach and scale of P2E games looking to help uplift as many lives as possible in countries where opportunities are the most scarce.
The guild was also among the first to take an analytic approach to understanding how P2E gaming could make the most positive impact. To understand — at the deepest level possible — what the daily lives of scholars really looked like, YGG oversaw several surveys of scholars playing for different guilds in countries around the world. The resulting data helped YGG better serve the same people who placed such trust in their organization.
To call YGG’s approach proactive just doesn’t do it justice. While many guilds interact with developers who have either built, or are building, a P2E game, the approach taken by YGG is different. Their team has chosen to go out into all the major gaming spaces in the industry and spread the gospel about the potential of guilds. And more than just PC gaming, they made inroads in console, mobile and other key sectors of the industry.
What does Abe Lincoln Have to Do With This?
Obviously, here at MetaGoons we were intrigued by what YGG has been up to of late. Their desire to use new and creative methods of making the world a better place and uplifting individuals out of difficult situations is certainly in line with everything we believe here at MetaGoons. A partnership between MetaGoons and YGG looks to be a perfect fit.
Yet some teams in our position could see them as competitors — direct competition with similar designs on dominating the blockchain gaming space and beyond. Here at MetaGoons, however, that’s not how we think.
We’d rather take the view of Abraham Lincoln (yes, THAT Abraham Lincoln) who, after getting elected President of the United States, brought people that he had run against in the election, who might have even had designs on his job, into his cabinet. Smart people with similar but sometimes different points of view, Lincoln reasoned, were good for business. Hence the “Team of Rivals” (made up of MG and YGG) that we feel could do so much good for gaming, gamers, and their communities.
A Union of Two Guilds
A significant part of our mission at MetaGoons is about extending our reach around the world. And that means we have to explore as many games and game genres as possible both in and out of the P2E world. It’s a monumental task, even for people like us who eat, sleep and breathe this life every day. Which is why a partnership with YGG makes so much sense for MetaGoons. Now, not only can we have a louder voice together where it matters (doing the best for our scholars) but it also gives us a chance to hear another guild’s perspective on games and financial systems we’re not as familiar with. We can share success and challenges in a way that makes us both better guilds. We’re confident in who were are, and that’s why there’s so many positives that can come from this Guild x Guild partnership.
