📝 Deep Dive

Exclusive Interview with Gabby Dizon

We had the honor of sitting down with Gabby Dizon (Co-Founder of YGG) for an exclusive interview where he shared insights on the rise of Casual Degen games and their role in the web3 gaming ecosystem.

💡 Casual Degen games are designed for crypto-native players who already understand wallets, tokens, and NFTs, offering quick, fun, and on-chain gameplay without friction.

💡 LOL Land, YGG Play’s flagship game, has surpassed $4.5M in lifetime revenue and demonstrates how these games can generate recurring revenue while building strong community engagement.

💡 Scaling in web3 doesn’t mean dialing back crypto elements. Dizon emphasizes focusing on deep engagement with the crypto-native audience through refined game loops, on-chain economies, and meaningful incentives.

💡 Beyond games, YGG Play’s LOL Lounge podcast explores publishing strategies, tokenomics, and community growth with founders, investors, and industry leaders.

YGG Play continues to show that sustainable web3 gaming growth comes from understanding the audience and integrating blockchain-native elements into accessible, enjoyable experiences.
