First things first; we hear you.

We’ve read your concerns on our tokens, our direction and our products across our various platforms. Spielworks is all about you, and each and every piece of feedback is incredibly valuable and drives intense discussion in our teams.

You want more action, more communication and more forward momentum. You want new experiences, new features, and new ways to create value. We have always been a company with a long-term vision — and now, it’s time to deliver on our long-term plans.

Today, we’re unraveling the first bits of our new direction. This is the first step of our new narrative. What the past 12 months of acquisitions, product development and expansion have been building towards.

Let’s change the gaming industry

What if gaming could be more transparent? More accessible? More collaborative?

What if web3 could drive actual change in the gaming industry, and put power back in the hands of the players? Where you can truly own your data, reap the rewards of your success, and capitalize on the value you create?

We pose three key questions.

Data Ownership

Data ownership is more important now than ever before. When you play a game, the way you play, the skills you show, the strategies you deploy — all of that generates valuable data, and an increasing number of developers are using that data to train powerful AI systems, or selling it on to third parties to do the same.

That is your data — so why should others profit from it while you get nothing?

Player sovereignty

Right now, video games are a prescribed experience. Sure, there are vast worlds to explore, intense narratives to digest and a degree of freedom in the way you play but these are all within the boundaries of the imagination, creativity and ingenuity of the developers.

What if games could break these boundaries, and become living, evolving experiences?

The role of AI

AI has the potential to be a revolutionary technology for video games — but it’s also one of its biggest threats. We dream of intelligent NPCs, true-to-life characters and a level of immersion we’ve never before experienced — but we fear the impact on data privacy, consent and human connections.

How do we gain the benefits of AI in games, while avoiding the concerns?

These three questions are fundamental to the future of gaming — and not only are we asking the questions, we’re building the answers.

Putting the community first

Web2 centralized value to the few. Without change, AI will only make this worse.

Since 2018, we’ve made it our mission to give value back to the players. With our expertise in Web3 and the expertise of our as-yet-unannounced partners, we’ll be delivering fundamental change to the future of gaming.

We’re putting you, the community, first — and ensuring any value you create will be yours to keep.

We realize this is big on words, low on action. This is the first of four posts outlining our new narrative, what you can expect from us, and our roadmap for the future. The second post will be arriving next week, where we’ll dive into what we’re building to answer the questions above, what it means for you, and our next steps together.

This is the result of more than a year of work from a dedicated team across the globe. Rest assured, we’re confident in our new direction, confident in the products we’re building, and confident in our ability to execute and deliver value for our community.

Hear from our CEO

Our CEO Adrian Krion discussed this first step of our new narrative in his over the last few days with some of the bigger token holders and publicly on stream as well. We will also be posting the notes on that stream shortly.

We’re building our new direction hand-in-hand with you, and Adrian will be on-hand throughout to explain our new narrative — and how it’ll make value creation the core of our ecosystem.

Stay tuned.
