Yep, Gunzilla Games—the brains behind Off The Grid—just scooped up Game Informer after GameStop decided to sunset it this August. And according to Gunzilla’s CEO, Vlad Korolov, it’s all about “fighting to preserve video game journalism.” Very noble. Totally not about using it to shill their upcoming token launch. The whole Game Informer team is back, from editorial to production—so at least your favorite writers aren’t heading to LinkedIn with "Open to Work" banners just yet. And while some fans are hyped for the revival, the broader industry? Let’s just say the side-eyes are strong. I mean, why would a Web3 game studio—already burning cash like a DeFi protocol during an exploit—buy a legacy mag if not to pump their own projects? Even Saakuru Labs' CEO chimed in on X, basically saying, “Cool flex, but good luck making it profitable.” If Game Informer does stay independent, that’s a nice PR win—but unless Gunzilla’s sitting on infinite runway, this could age like a rug pull. So, what’s the play here? Saving journalism, or securing a marketing mouthpiece before the Off The Grid token drops? Either way, let’s pour one out for the Game Informer we knew—because things are about to get interesting.

Because nothing says cutting-edge blockchain like a roguelike deck-builder, right? Acki Nacki—brought to you by the folks at GOSH (yes, that’s really their name)—just dropped the details for their 2025 Popit Game Tournament, and they’re flexing with a $1 million prize pool. Here’s the breakdown for all you degen competitors: 💰 $100K in cash for the top 16 players and teams💎 $400K worth of Node Cores for the top 1,000 (because who doesn’t want a node?)🚀 100,000,000 Boosts for places 1-10,000 (because more zeroes = more hype)🪙 Special POP Coins just for showing up—participation trophies, but make it crypto If you’re wondering what Popit Game even is, imagine a massively multiplayer roguelike deck-builder where you stack blocks, earn tokens, and either boost your score or absolutely ruin someone else’s day. You can play solo or with a team, and there are two leaderboards—one for individual block-chads and one for team grinders. The twist? Everyone gets the same tournament edition POP Coin deck, so no pay-to-win nonsense (allegedly). 📅 Key dates to know: April 1, 2025 – Registration opens (not an April Fool’s joke… probably) May 2025 – The three-day block-stacking extravaganza begins Early Access – A week before for tryhards who want to min-max their deck And because no crypto event is complete without a livestream, you can catch all the block-building drama on YouTube and Twitch. Oh, and in case you missed it—GOSH recently secured a cool $6M via a pre-launch node sale. Big names like Kingsway Capital, Blockchain.com, and Hack VC jumped in, so they’re either onto something… or just love a good gamble. So—are you joining the Popit Game grind? Or is this just another Web3 cash grab wrapped in shiny Boosts?

The rise of AI-generated art may be making traditional NFT collections obsolete. With AI capable of replicating any artistic style, the uniqueness that once defined NFT collections is fading.NFTs were already struggling before AI enhancements allowed for unlimited image variations, challenging their scarcity-based value. Some collections are attempting to adapt by integrating new artistic styles, such as Studio Ghibli-inspired remasters. However, the market remains sluggish, with NFT valuations dropping while meme tokens gain traction. Despite declining interest, blue-chip NFT collections still hold value, but much of the activity comes from internal communities rather than new investors. The NFT space remains divided between casual, low-cost collectibles and high-value assets striving to maintain relevance. 

Well, well, well—after years of “soon™” promises, Web3 games are finally squeezing their way onto consoles. It only took until October 2024 for the first one (Off The Grid, an extraction shooter from Gunzilla Games) to hit Xbox and PS5 early access. But hey, better late than never, right? Since then, it looks like the floodgates (or maybe just a leaky faucet) have opened: 🎮 Moonray – Multiplayer battle arena, coming to PS5 and Xbox in 2025. Because clearly, what consoles needed was more sweaty arena fights. 🔫 My Pet Hooligan – AI-powered action shooter. Yep, the game where cartoon rabbits carry guns is making its way to Xbox. 👻 The Bornless – Horror FPS from Cathedral Studios. Because nothing says “mass adoption” like terrifying people on their couches. 🏝️ Paradise Tycoon – Social crafting MMO. Signed with Bonus Stage, which means it could pop up anywhere—Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch… your grandma’s smart fridge is probably next. 🧙 Forgotten Runiverse – Pixel-art fantasy MMORPG. This one’s going all-in with a triple threat: Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo. No platform is safe. So, is this the Web3 console takeover, or just a few devs trying to farm exit liquidity before the next bull run? Either way, Web3 is finally moving from Discord shills to your living room. What’s next—on-chain loot boxes? Or are we finally getting that decentralized Battle Royale where the real winner is whoever holds the most governance tokens?

Polymarket just added Solana (SOL) deposits, meaning you can now bet on the future without your wallet getting rekt by transaction costs.

This week, NFT sales dropped by another 6.75%, following an 11% decline the previous week, bringing total sales down to $101.37 million, according to Cryptoslam.io. The sector remains under pressure due to economic and political uncertainty, with sales struggling to recover from the 2022 crypto winter. Ethereum continues to lead in blockchain NFT sales, followed by Bitcoin, Mythos Chain, Polygon, and Solana. While some collections like Guild of Guardian Heroes and Good Vibes Club saw significant growth, the overall market remains sluggish. Experts suggest regulatory changes in the U.S. might help, but deeper industry reforms are needed to prevent further decline. 

Well, well, well… looks like the boomer NFTs aren’t dead yet. CryptoPunks just clawed their way back to the #2 spot in NFT land, with a 19% spike in transactions over the past 24 hours. Guess pixelated nostalgia still has a grip on the market. The star of the show? CryptoPunk #2301—a punk rocking an eyepatch and a hoodie (basically, your average crypto trader after a bad leverage play). Someone dropped 115 ETH (~$235K) on it. Casual flex. Other highlights from the Punk-o-sphere: 📊 42 ETH floor price—up 5% from yesterday (because why buy a house when you can own a JPEG?)📊 915.37 ETH in total sales ($1.8M, no biggie)📊 Market cap: 419,748 ETH ($865M for a bunch of pixel heads) And while the buyers are showing up, the daily trading volume dipped 21.8%, proving once again that NFT markets are as predictable as meme coin pumps. Fun fact: There’s even an 800-page book documenting all 10,000 Punks. Because nothing screams “modern digital collectibles” like a coffee-table book. So, what’s the play? Are Punks making a comeback, or is this just another exit pump before things go quiet again? Let’s hear your alpha.        

Because nothing says "honoring anime culture" like minting infinite JPEGs on a Layer 2 blockchain. YOAKE just rolled out its Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light NFT collection on OpenSea, and yes—you can mint as many as you want for 72 hours straight. Each one will set you back 0.002 ETH (~$4.12), which is either a bargain or a new form of digital hoarding. The NFTs feature the oh-so-iconic scene where Meliodas and his brother Zeldris sit in the sunlight, sharing a heartfelt moment with their sacred chalices—because nothing screams "blockchain utility" like anime boys and a dramatic vow. Some quick stats:📅 Minting starts: March 25 at 5:00 AM GMT💰 Price: 0.002 ETH (~$4.12)⛓️ Blockchain: Sony’s Layer 2, Soneium (yes, Sony’s doing blockchains now)♾️ Supply: Unlimited—for 72 hours. So, go wild. YOAKE claims this drop is the first officially licensed anime NFT collection from The Seven Deadly Sins franchise, and they’re planning to keep the anime-themed collectibles coming. The goal? Drive anime fans on-chain and probably see how many JPEGs people will buy if you slap an IP on them. Even OpenSea’s CEO Devin Finzer is hyped, saying they’re proud to "bring top-tier franchises directly to fans." Because nothing says fan engagement like explaining gas fees to someone who just wanted an anime souvenir. So, what do you think? Web3 finally cracking the anime fanbase, or just another corporate cash grab in JPEG form?

Hester Peirce, head of the SEC's cryptocurrency task force, announced that projects using NFTs for fundraising could soon be exempt from securities regulations. This follows a recent SEC statement clarifying that proof-of-work mining is not classified as a security. Peirce emphasized that not all NFTs would qualify for this exemption, particularly those structured as tokenized securities. The move could open new opportunities for blockchain projects, especially in the art and membership-based NFT sectors. Meanwhile, lawmakers are considering similar measures in Congress.

JuGame just pulled off a massive flex in the GameFi space—selling out all 20,000 Golden Node NFTs. 🎮💰 Each node grants holders a 10% revenue share, signaling a potential shift in how Web3 gaming economies are structured. So, is this the next evolution of passive income in GameFi, or just another high-risk NFT experiment? Let’s dive in. 🔥 What Makes JuGame’s Golden Nodes Special?🔹 Fully sold out – 20,000 NFTs, gone in no time, proving strong demand.🔹 Revenue-sharing model – Holders get a slice of game earnings, making this an actual utility NFT rather than just another PFP flex.🔹 Potential long-term rewards – If JuGame grows, these nodes could generate consistent income, making them a GameFi blue-chip play.🔹 Scarcity factor – With a fixed supply, early adopters might see higher resale value as demand grows. 💡 The Bigger Picture: Are Revenue NFTs the Next Big Trend?GameFi has been searching for sustainable models beyond the short-lived P2E hype. A revenue-sharing structure like this could create stronger community engagement—because when players are financially invested, they’re more likely to stick around and promote the game. Projects like Nakamigos & NeoTokyo have toyed with similar concepts, but JuGame’s full sell-out shows real demand for passive income NFTs. Could this become the norm for future Web3 games?
