Yield Guild Games (YGG) Past and Present: From a Small Guild in the Philippines to a Web3 Gaming Empire


In the past (2020-2021): The "lifesaver" that emerged during the pandemic. In 2020, a large number of people in the Philippines lost their jobs and couldn't even afford to eat.
There is a game called Axie Infinity, where raising three electronic pets to fight can earn real money (at that time, you could earn several thousand a month, which was much better than working).
But the problem arises: to start, you need to buy 3 pets, which costs several hundred to a thousand dollars, something poor guys can’t afford. Gabby, the big boss from the Philippines (YGG leader), stepped up:
"I will pay to buy pets, lend them to you to play with, you keep 70% of the earnings, I take 30%, and we all make money together."
This is called the "Scholarship Model", and YGG is the first person in the world to do this. As a result, during the worst of the pandemic, YGG supported over 100,000 players in the Philippines, many of whom relied on playing Axie to support their families. YGG also became wealthy overnight, with the token price soaring to $10, becoming the godfather of GameFi. Later (2022-2023): nearly facing disaster, surviving the harsh winter of 2022, Axie collapsed, pets became worthless, the token price plummeted from $10 to $0.3, and a large portion of YGG players left, nearly bankrupting the guild. But Gabby did not back down and led the team to start "walking on multiple legs":.

🚀Not just playing Axie anymore, bought dozens or even hundreds of game NFTs, casting a wide net everywhere.

🚀 GZ Guild (SubDAO), allowing each country to play their own game.

🚀Saving money like crazy, I've made it through the coldest days.

Now (2024-2025): A complete turnaround, becoming the "Xiaomi Mall" of the gaming circle. YGG is no longer satisfied with just being a "landlord"; it is directly opening a large shopping mall called YGG Play @YGG_Play. The mall has everything:

🚀 Dozens of casual games to play at will.

🚀 While playing, you can earn points, which can be exchanged for new game currency (equivalent to internal group buying + airdrop).

🚀You can bet $YGG and still be a VIP, earning more.

The recently launched YGG Play Launchpad #YGGPlay is the "new product release area" of this mall:
This broken thing is not an ordinary website; it is the new home for all Web3 gamers! All those YGG series games you played before have been moved here, and you can play them with just a click, no need to download an app. While playing, you can complete tasks to directly grab the original tokens of new games!
In the past, I had to run around in groups for airdrops, lurk on Twitter, fill out forms, and get cut off; now it's all done in one place!
Three steps to get started immediately (truly zero threshold):
Open the official website: gas is enough)

First, play a couple of games on LOL Land to get familiar.

Sign in every day to complete tasks and earn points at will. The next new coin is here, and now is the right time to invest!
This thing just went live on October 15, it's not even two months yet! The first $LOL has already been snapped up and sent out, the second and third can drop at any time, so go early and secure your spot!
