This week we had lots of cool news about pre-sales, new features inside virtual worlds, and even entirely new games. But first a public service announcement about Play to Earn.

Play to Earn Becoming Decentralized

This week Play to Earn is turning its back on Medium. We write about blockchain gaming, about decentralization and user empowerment. As an editorial medium we shouldn’t only write about, but also embrace these technical aspects of decentralized technology. Thanks to Unstoppable Domains and 3Box the blog is hosted on decentralized servers through IPFS: censorship proof, anonymous, and no tracking software. This means 1) our content will be harder to find through current search engines, 2) the URLs for our content will look like someone slammed their head on a keyboard and 3) we will increase our social media activity to promote our content. If you have any questions, find us on Twitter @playtoearn. Everything we write can now be found on www.playtoearn.online (or playtoearn.crypto).

Enjoy this week’s newsletter!
