About this episode
The episode discusses the intersection of gameplay and economic infrastructure in Web3 gaming with guest Luke Barwikowski.
What happens when gameplay becomes economic infrastructure? In this conversation with Luke Barwikowski, founder of Pixels, we explore AI-driven rewards, decentralization, digital ownership, and the tension between ideals and practical system design inside Web3 gaming. Because the real question may not be whether players own the game. It may be whether they own their role inside the economy.
