YGG Play Summit showcases web3 gaming’s future and innovations
The YGG Play Summit showcased the Philippines’ growing role as a key player in web3 gaming. Industry leaders and innovators gathered to discuss the latest developments in gaming and blockchain technology, emphasizing the country’s potential to lead this emerging field.
Gabby Dizon and Beryl Li, co-founders of Yield Guild Games (YGG), highlighted how web3 adoption in the Philippines is opening doors for global opportunities.
“The next billion users of web3 will come from emerging economies like the Philippines,” said Dizon. He also introduced YGG’s Onchain Guilds, developed on Base, a blockchain platform, as a pivotal step in this growth.
“As people contribute to autonomous virtual worlds, they’re effectively creating GDP for their country,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “Playing EVE Frontier in the Philippines is one way to increase GDP per capita.”
The summit’s Industry Day featured discussions with pioneers like esports legend Fatal1ty and gaming leaders such as Viktoriya Hying of NPC Labs and Corey Wilton of Mirai Labs. Panels and fireside chats addressed the intersection of gaming and digital ownership, offering attendees insights into the future of web3 gaming.
“Play remains central to YGG. Despite challenges, our community remains strong,” said Mench Dizon, country head of YGG Pilipinas.
Alongside Industry Day, the event included esports tournaments, a premiere of Metaverse Filipino Worker, and plans for the first in-person GAM3 Awards Night and a cosplay competition, celebrating creativity and innovation within the gaming community.
