Other tactics, such as the localized gaming approach, should be taken into account if you want to reach a larger audience and draw in Web3 players. Regarding the blockchain-based game sector, this was said by the decentralized gaming guild Yield Guild Games.

Yield Guild Games: Web3 gaming adoption needs a local touch
After IVC made a preliminary investment in YGG following its successful debut in the Philippines at the end of 2020, the two industry titans worked together to expand YGG globally through subDAOs, with Southeast Asia serving as the first hub.
In terms of how subDAOs are used by YGG, it serves as a little economy that interacts with a bigger, all-encompassing economy that is still included under the YGG wing. This was introduced to the YGG ecosystem in July of last year.
The guild is gradually expanding to other nations, including India, Japan, and Brazil, through the use of subDAOs, as a result of the increased association with YGG and its Philippines-based outfit that offers scholarship programs for play-to-earn (P2E) games like Axie Infinity.
A YGG subDAO, according to Chou, is "kind of its own ecosystem, that has its own purse and its own token," and each subDAO has a special combination and network of business relationships based on the nation it is situated in.
While the idea of YGG scholarships—in which players receive loans of NFT assets so they may profit from games—has been a major factor in the uptake of Web3 gaming in the Philippines, Chou stated that he doesn't particularly think this really is applicable in the context of YGG Japan.
The new relationship with IVC and Web3 tech company, known as KryptoGO, to create a wallet specifically for blockchain gamers was announced by YGG Japan on Friday. Although specifics weren't provided according to the statement made, the major goal of these companies joining forces is to create a user experience that is straightforward and centralizes users' assets so that they can access blockchain games.
According to Chou, one issue with this development is that not enough people are aware of what NFT is. Since users may easily click and save the corresponding artwork for the NFT, detractors claim that the assets are useless.
Beryl Li, blockchain developer, and Gabby Dizon co-founded YGG. Gabby Dizon was also a founding partner of Oasys, which is speculatively planning to debut a gaming-focused blockchain sometime this year.
Globally, there were more than 30,000 scholars enrolled in YGG programs in the month of June. For lending out their NFTs, YGG provides the players seventy percent of in-game revenue, scholarship managers get twenty percent, and the designated subDAO gets the other ten percent.
