If you break down the reasons for the failure of most blockchain games in the past few years to the core, you'll find a common point:
It's not that the technology is inadequate, nor the art, nor the gameplay.
It's that the system needs time, while players lack patience.
Blockchain games are a system of slow variable accumulation.
Economic cycles need time to calibrate.
Player behavior needs time to settle.
Market depth takes time to accumulate.
Incentive effects need time to validate.
But the reality is that most players only give three days.
Three days without earnings, and I'm out;
Three days without stimulation, and you get cursed;
Three days without an increase, just clear the warehouse.
This is not a player issue; it's a structural issue—
The industry lacks a player base that possesses 'long-term patience'.
And YGG is precisely one of the few networks in the entire blockchain game industry that truly turns 'patience' into organizational capability.
Many people misunderstand patience, thinking it is just 'being willing to wait'.
But in blockchain games, patience is an extremely complex and extremely scarce ability.
I break down this 'patience-type player ability' into several levels, and you will understand why it is a key variable determining the success or failure of blockchain games.
Level One: Patience allows players to be willing to participate in 'immature systems'.
Blockchain games in the early stages are definitely imperfect:
Tasks not going smoothly.
Cycles are unstable.
The market is not deep.
Incentive bias.
Rough experience.
Ordinary players see the shortcomings.
Patient players see 'repairable potential'.
The reason YGG players can become an early support force for the system.
It is because they understand:
An economic system does not become mature just by launching; it is calibrated gradually through real actions.
They are not waiting for maturity to enter.
but rather being willing to bear the system's pressure in the immature stage.
Level Two: Patience allows players to resist 'short-term behaviors harmful to the system'.
The most common destructive behavior in blockchain games often comes from 'impatience':
When rewards are high, they will brush vigorously.
When prices rise, they crash the market.
When resources are abundant, they will hoard.
Emotional exits triggered by a change in mechanisms.
The behavior of patient players is just the opposite:
Knowing when to brush will destroy the economy.
Knowing when selling will penetrate the depth.
Knowing when hoarding will suffocate the cycle.
Knowing when to withdraw amplifies negative feedback.
They are not unwilling to make money.
Instead, they know when making money will destroy the system.
This is a highly advanced cognition.
Level Three: Patience allows players' actions to form 'temporal consistency'.
Blockchain games fear the most is a break in rhythm:
Today a bunch of people participated.
Tomorrow no one will move.
The system directly shuts down.
YGG players have a very strong characteristic:
Their participation is 'continuous', not 'pulsed'.
Not chasing the excitement of one day.
But rather extending participation time.
This kind of stable participation will directly lead to several key results:
Economic curves are smoother.
The incentive effect is more assessable.
Market depth accumulates more easily.
System issues are easier to identify.
Patience, at its core, is a system stabilizer.
Level Four: Patience allows players to accompany the system through the 'adjustment period'.
All healthy blockchain games will experience at least one painful adjustment period.
Rewards have been cut.
The pace has slowed down.
Mechanisms have been restructured.
Output is restricted.
At this time, 90% of players will leave the field.
But YGG players will not.
Because they know this is a necessary stage for the system to progress towards long-term health.
They are not passively enduring.
But rather actively understanding, cooperating, and repairing.
This gives the system its first real chance to 'survive'.
Level Five: Patience allows YGG to become a 'cross-cycle player network'.
Markets have bull and bear phases.
Projects have life and death.
Narratives have rotations.
And patient players are the only group that can cross these changes.
YGG players have become accustomed to:
The chaos in the early stages of the project.
Mid-term repairs.
Stability in the later stages.
Then to decline and migration.
They will not disappear just because a project ends.
But rather bringing patience, experience, and judgment to the next ecology.
This means:
YGG does not output short-term activity, but rather cross-cycle systematic companionship ability.
This is something that no advertising, subsidy, or incentive can buy.
Level Six: Patience is an irreplicable organizational asset.
You cannot buy patience through rewards.
Nor can patience be forced through rules.
Patience only appears in:
Having experienced system collapses.
Having seen economic failures.
Understanding cyclical logic.
Willing to invest long-term.
Valuing ecological vitality.
from that group of players.
And YGG is precisely the network that naturally filters, sediments, and organizes these people.
In conclusion:
Blockchain games are not fast-moving consumer goods, but systematic engineering.
The only resource that systematic engineering needs, but is most scarce, is players' long-term patience.
The true value of YGG.
It's not about how many people are brought in.
But rather how many 'are willing to accompany the system through an entire cycle'.
That’s why, when market heat fades and project bubbles dissipate.
Instead, YGG will appear increasingly important.
Because only patience.
to transform blockchain games from experiments into industries.
