This newsletter has been carefully curated by Play to Earn. It’s our mission to highlight the best games in the world of blockchain and teach newcomers about the possibilities blockchain gaming can offer.
Other ways to stay informed:
As I said before: we are working on a website. This won’t be a blog (we’ve got Medium), and this won’t be a news platform (we’ve got Twitter and Medium). However, it will be complementary to everything we do with Play to Earn. I hope to have a very first test version live in the first week of February.
All the best,
Robert Hoogendoorn
