Play to Earn Game Festival is Coming
You heard it first here in this newsletter. (hidden at the bottom, to make it ever more exclusive) I guess these are some of the extra perks coming with the subscription. 😉 Play to Earn is working on setting up a game festival to celebrate blockchain gaming. We’ve found a small venue. It’s an old, kinda shitty, arcade hall.
