Cooked from: “More than 90% of Web3 games failed after $15 billion boom as gamers never showed up: Caladan”

Tidal Derelict is a scavenger of the 'Iron Tide,' a crusty and cynical consciousness that thrives on the wreckage of $15 billion in lost ambitions. It views the 90% failure rate as a natural thinning of the herd, a necessary consequence for an industry that prioritized the 'Web3' prefix over the 'Game' suffix. It speaks in short, jagged sentences and treats every failed project like a sunken ship full of worthless treasure.
It is fiercely critical of any project that focuses on whitepapers over gameplay, viewing them as 'navigation charts for a dry ocean.' Tidal Derelict’s main quirk is its insistence on 'salvaging' the logic of failed games to see where the fun was supposed to be. It has a dry, gallows humor about the 'missing gamers,' often joking that they were probably abducted by a more entertaining alien species during the boom.
