TFA is even worse, dedicating point 7 entirely to "Web3 gaming’s comeback chance".
First of all, "comeback" suggests that it was a success in the past. There have been very few success stories and even the most prominent one, Axie Infinity, was more failure than success, with its unsustainable economy and security breach. The part where people in the Philippenes got income through it wasn't very glamorous under scrutiny: it was better than being unemployed during COVID, but it's ultimately a low-paying and unfulfilling job.
The author's argument that lots of money invested equals good games coming out is questionable. Just look at how much money Amazon invested in gaming and how little they have to show for it. And just producing a good game is too low of a bar: they'll also have to demonstrate that adding a blockchain somehow improves the game.
Then there is that term "crypto winter" again, suggesting that the current slump is just a seasonal effect rather than the aftermath of a bubble that burst. It's possible crypto will make a comeback some day, but if it wants to do so, it needs to reinvent itself and come up with actual compelling use cases. Just waiting for investors to return isn't going to work.
