Listen Later

In this episode, Packy McCormick shares his insights into crypto's role in the online game, its intersection with the creator economy, and the potential of DAOs. The discussion also delves into game design principles, their application to the online game, and personal experiences in the meta game.

The Great Online Game is an infinite video game that plays out constantly across the internet. It uses many of the mechanics of a video game, but removes the boundaries. You’re no longer playing as an avatar in Fortnite or Roblox; you’re playing as yourself across Twitter, YouTube, Discords, work, projects, and investments.

Packy McCormick is the founder of the Not Boring Club, a newsletter on business strategy and pop culture. This episode is narrated by Packy himself.
