My guest this week is Bored, the anonymous Twitter personality who shot to prominence formerly as Bored Elon Musk with over 1.6 million followers. Bored spent over a decade in the video game industry, supporting the launch of 100-plus game titles, and today, he takes us on a deep dive to the gaming industry. We start by talking about crypto gaming, why it failed to deliver on its promise, but why Bored is still bullish on the category.
We also talk about the overall gaming industry, the impact of AI and his new venture Edison. I first chatted with Bored back in June 2022 and his return on the show was as good as his debut. Please enjoy this conversation with Bored.
State of Crypto Gaming
Eric
Bored, I'm excited to have you back on the podcast. Gaming is something that comes up quite often in conversations about investing a market or vertical, and I find that maybe we lost the plot in the crypto gaming space, and so I thought a place to start would just be, crypto gaming just feels like this thing that everybody wants to be a use case, but I haven't seen it hit in the way that's been promised or maybe the level of money that was raised. What's your take on the state of crypto gaming?
