Happy Sunday!

This month we’re celebrating 2 years of Every! Many thanks to our readers for supporting us—we are so excited for what we have in the works for you in 2022.

We have a little bit of everything for you this week—a candid review of the past year, a different perspective on teaching, advice on successful P2E games, and an Every subscriber exclusive opportunity!

Let’s get into it, shall we?


Year Two

Nathan Baschez / Divinations

January is a time of reflection and resetting, and that’s exactly what this piece is about. In this honest look at the past year—both for Every as a company and for his life personally—Nathan acknowledges the demons that can inhibit our progress, as well as his plans to overcome them in 2022.

Many of the earliest games were implemented somewhat clumsily by relying on new players joining to grow revenue. This week Nat discusses how his game Crypto Raiders created a version of P2E that isn’t contingent on the consistent recruiting of new players. Instead, the game tokenizes in-game assets—when players sell or trade in-game items, Raiders takes a % off the top. While this article may appear technical at first glance, it’s really an attempt to answer an important question: how do we value the work done within video games?
