Critical Lessons Learned From Launching 30+ Web3 Games! - Wonil Suh, Wemade

The evolution of Web3 gaming mirrors the transition to microtransactions and online connectivity observed in the South Korean gaming market two decades ago.

• Gameplay quality is the primary driver of retention, as evidenced by Wemade’s data showing that only 15% to 30% of their active player base currently connects a digital wallet.
• Tokenomics must be integrated as a core game design mechanism rather than a financial feature, as excessive initial supply causes inflation while overly restricted supply stifles liquidity.
• Wemade, a public company with 1,700 employees, has launched 28 Web3 titles to date and is targeting a total of 60 games by the end of the year.
