TechFlow news — On September 4, according to NFT Plazas, game developer Mino Games announced that its roguelike deck-building game Dimensionals will fully transition to a Web2 model, completely abandoning the previously integrated blockchain technology and NFT features.
According to Mino Games CEO Sash MacKinnon, Dimensionals initially launched the Genesis Stone NFT collection in March 2023, aiming to attract mainstream players ahead of the game's release. However, the project faced numerous challenges from the outset: whitelist giveaway events were overwhelmed by bot attacks, the project suffered repeated DDoS attacks, and shifts in the NFT market landscape caused royalty revenues to plummet to zero.
Although Mino Games released a non-blockchain version on Steam in March 2024, MacKinnon admitted that the Web3 initiative ultimately resulted in significant financial losses. "We picked the wrong lane," he said. The company has since decided to fully shift to a Web2 gaming model to reach a broader audience.
