Leading gaming company Wemade will be present at GDC, in San Francisco, March 20-24, 2023 (booth S527) as the Diamond Sponsor of the event. Throughout the entire duration of the conference, the company will be holding open sessions on hot topics in the blockchain gaming space. Attendees can expect insights and solid data on the following:

- Lessons learned after launching 25+ Web3 Games
- Transformation of Games into Blockchain Games
- Fan Token – a joint blockchain economy built by creators and fans

During The Future of Gaming: inter-game Play and Beyond, Wemade’s CEO Henry Chang will be taking attendees through the ways in which the inter-game economy and playing will continue to bloom in the next few years. The talk will offer insight into the future of gaming and how blockchain technology is expanding the in-game economies beyond the limits of their games and how individual games are now connected through tokenomics to form a mega-ecosystem.
Lessons Learned after Launching 25+ Web3 Games presented by Wonil Suh, EVP at Wemade, will focus on lessons learned and sharing insight on tokenomics and information on Web3 games. Having launched over 25 Web3 games in the last year, each with its own unique token and tokenomics, Wemade is excited to share the experience, including successful and failed tokenomic designs.
Robin Seo, Head of Business Creative Centre at Wemade, will be shedding light on how games can easily be transformed into blockchain games in just four simple steps, through the company’s platform WEMIX PLAY, during the Transformation of Games into Blockchain Games session. Attendees will have an opportunity to discover how this transformation can revolutionise gamers’ experience, as the session will break down each process of the transformation and show the benefits generated by this. WEMIX PLAY is the world’s largest blockchain gaming ecosystem, where any game regardless of genre or platform can easily become a blockchain game through the company’s “Four Module System”: Tokenomic, GameFi, Marketplace and Community.
Fan Token, a Joint Blockchain Economy Built by Creators and Fans hosted by the world-renowned Myrtle Abigail Sarrosa – actress, cosplayer, host, singer, songwriter and gamer – will be all about how to move from the traditional method of expressing loyalty through donations as a form of engagement between content creators and their fans into a new form of a joint digital economy. This allows creators and fans to grow together through tokenomics, breaking away from the linear fan-creator engagement experience into a dynamic economy driven by collective effort. This session will unveil how creators and fans could use their digital currency to expand the boundaries of community engagement and activities.
[Panel Discussion] Transformation 101: Launching Your Own Blockchain Game on WEMIX PLAY featuring Wonil Suh, Robin Seo and Wook Kim, SVP, Wemade USA will focus on the process of transforming games into blockchain games on WEMIX PLAY.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
