They were <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/yield-guild-games\/introducing-the-ygg-dao-and-subdaos-c0bf7a9ac69d\">introduced<\/a> into the YGG ecosystem around July last year. <\/p>\n<p>While many may associate YGG with its Philippines-based outfit that offers scholarship programs\u00a0for play-to-earn (P2E) games such as Axie Infinity, the guild has gradually been expanding to other countries and regions such as India, Japan, Brazil, and Latin America though the use of subDAOs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chou described the idea of a YGG subDAO as \u201csort of its own economy, that has its own treasury and its own token\u201d adding that each subDAO has a different setup and business partnerships depending on what country it is located in. <\/p>\n<p>For example, Chou noted that while the concept of YGG scholarships \u2014 in which players people are are loaned NFT assets so that they can earn from games \u2014 has been a key driver for web3 gaming adoption in the Philippines, he doesn\u2019t see this necessarily being relevant in the context of YGG Japan. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, Chou suggested that t<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing the long list of beloved Japanese \u201cgaming IP\u201d is the best way to attract people to Web3 games in Japan, while Lu confirmed that they are focused on \u201chelping market Japanese games\u201d as opposed to offering scholarships there, stating:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJapanese IPs are something that everybody covets. [&#8230;] You have [companies like] Sega, Bandai Namco, all those gaming companies want to pivot and come into Web3.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Questioned on what Chou thinks is currently holding back Web3 gaming from mainstream adoption, he outlined that the onboarding process is still a complicated process for new users, something that their YGG Japan subDAO has recently been moving to address.<\/p>\n<p>On Sept. 16, YGG Japan <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/blockchain-game-guild-ygg-japan-agrees-with-kryptogo-and-ivc-to-develop-and-offer-wallets-specializing-in-web3-games-301626078.html\">announced<\/a> a partnership with IVC and web3 tech firm KryptoGO to develop a wallet specifically targeted at blockchain gamers. While details were sparse in the announcement, the trio aim to create a simplified interface for users to access blockchain games and host all their assets in one place. <\/p>\n<p>Chou said other barriers included a lack of knowledge about what NFTs represent, as many critics still argue that the assets are worthless as they can just right-click and save the NFTs associated artwork. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat whole process of just onboarding, once that gets more smooth, will help bring in more folks. I think even at the education [level], just explaining what it means to actually own a digital item. As opposed to being like &#8216;oh, I can just copy this and get it.&#8217;\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHaving that digital ownership of those digital goods. It&#8217;s something that just hasn&#8217;t really been explored. But as the world gets more and more digital, you know, I feel like that&#8217;s where a lot of things are moving,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Bandai Namco, SEGA among gaming giants eyeing blockchain gaming<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>YGG was co-founded in 2020 by Beryl Li, blockchain dev @OwlOfMoistness and Gabby Dizon, with the\u00a0 the latter also being one of the founding members of Oasys, which is tentatively set to launch a gaming-focused blockchain later this year. <\/p>\n<p>As of June, YGG\u2019s network across the globe had more than 30,000 scholars.
