My Dear friends

I have been thinking about ownership for a while now especially after playing Pixels and seeing how NFTs and ownership work in the game.

People always talk about ownership. I am not sure they really feel it yet.

When you play Pixels you can own assets and trade items. You can even interact with NFT-based land systems. On paper this sounds like a deal.

Yes it is different when you see items moving between players like they are really worth something, not just data locked inside a server.

In games you play for hours and hours and at the end everything you did is stuck in that game.

You cannot take it anywhere.

In Pixels your progress belongs to you not just the game.

PIXEL is important because it is not a token that you get as a reward.

It is like the money that makes everything work.

You use it to trade and upgrade. It helps you move value around.

One thing I like is how ownership changes how people behave.

Even small decisions feel more serious like you are not just wasting time you are managing something that's worth something.

I keep thinking about this one thing.

Does ownership really change how people feel about their time in the game. Is it just something that matters when prices are going up?

Sometimes I think players still think of it as a game and the economy is second.

Maybe that is okay.

Then I wonder if ownership really means anything if people are just using assets like they are temporary tools, not something they really care about.

Also not everything feels stable yet.

The NFT systems and land mechanics are interesting. They are still changing.

It is like we are making up the rules as we go. That is exciting but also a bit unsure.

Still I think it is interesting.

When you know that your time in a game is not completely wasted it changes things.

Even if you are not thinking about it you know that what you are doing might actually matter outside the game.

That changes how you behave even if you do not realize it.

I am still not sure we have really figured out what ownership means in games like this.

Maybe we are just starting to understand it.

Maybe we are still learning.

We will have to wait and see.

It is still early. It is interesting so far.

PIXEL is, like the glue that holds gameplay and value together. We will see how far that goes when more players start taking ownership seriously.

PIXEL is important. I think it will be interesting to see what happens next $PIXEL , @Pixels #pixel
