Games Category
Proposal Details
Agree that there should be a Games Category. Disagree for all new game Grants.
I have to vote no for this because this is not a Bidding and tendering proposal, but yes, I agree that we should spend way less on games, and a lot more on platform improvements, which is the #1 complaint amongst users and last on our list of priorities for years. I can reach back to CBD twitter spaces from last year, where I have expressed frustration that we are inviting people to play games on a broken platform that no one can barely stay on for more than 5 minutes without crashing. I am not a gamer, but I have been hearing large sentiment from the community that DCL games are not good, too expensive for what they bring to the platform, unsustainable and in need of constant funding to stay alive. I would support a separate category and budget for games, and would not fund any game that is not already completed, and showing that they can both bring in new users and retain them.
thank you for your support on this!!
I agree!! It would be very "defined" and then the "Games" proposals would go there an nowhere else. This would allow for in-world to be focused on things other than games completely.
I think this proposal should go from Poll to Governance stage, not using Bidding and Tendering Flow.
Would be good to have it seperately from in- world tbh!
Thank you so much Shiny! I was confused when I saw games in the Platform category after seeing some of the recent grants that have passed. It even came from someone who had another proposal wanting to educate the DCL community for specific categories before being able to vote with user owned assets.
I think games are supposed to go under "In-World Content" category (https://docs.decentraland.org/player/general/dao/overview/grants-program/#4--in-world-content) But unfortunately RobL spent all of the in world content budget for this quarter in the first two weeks, so now people are trying to abuse platform category.
