Film.io (FAN)

As I was an advisor during the launch 2 years ago, here are my 2 cents.

For context, I met @travisbickle0x in the corporate world back in 2019 and we became friends, so I might be biased.

Also, I have never played the game myself. I know people loved it, but card games are not my thing.

When he first pitched me Fantasy, I didn’t think much about it. But I was always down to help a friend at my modest level.

Then the hype became absolutely mind-blowing. What they achieved pre-launch from a marketing perspective was honestly a masterclass.

They decided to launch on blast, which was a good decision at the time considering blast promises and gold meta.

But Blast mainnet launched way too fast imo. Legit no builders were ready to deploy on mainnet.

From my discussions with them back then, I could clearly feel they were underwater trying to rush the game design and product to fit Blast’s timeline.

The launch was absolutely insane though, i was really happy for them.

I visited their office twice and from wha

R.I.P. Fantasy Top.

My favorite web3 game to date - genuinely.

So it stings to say this: they dangled FAN points in front of all of us on the pretence of an airdrop, got people spending real money chasing it, then pivoted.

Here's the thing - once you incentivize people to spend on the promise of a token drop, you're on the hook to deliver.

You don't get to walk it back.

That's the risk you took the moment you dangled it.

Really disappointed all around.

quiet check on @myfanforce: the new queue-priority view is surfacing which fans keep showing up before the drop, and that feels like the cleanest early intent read yet #FanForce $PULSE https://t.co/7yyP3Buttn
