Matthew Simone | The Web3 Gamer

Hey everyone — Matthew here. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided it’s time to say goodbye to The Web3 Gamer podcast. When I started this show almost three years ago, it was never supposed to be anything big. It was just a hobby — I love gaming, I love learning about people, and I figured, “What a wild niche to try… why not?” Somehow, that small idea turned into something much larger than I ever expected. My SEO was working overtime, the show kept climbing, and I kept hearing from guests that I was the #1 Google search result for Web3 gaming podcasts. The inbox never slowed down. There were weeks where I simply couldn’t keep up with the demand from founders, devs, creators, and studios wanting to be on the show. And honestly — if my plan had been to turn this into a full-time, profitable business, it likely could’ve gone that way. But it was always just a fun passion project… nothing more. Over the last few months, though, that spark faded. Recording started to feel less like a hobby and more like a chore. And if my heart isn’t in it anymore, that isn’t fair to listeners, and it isn’t fair to the amazing guests who trusted me with their stories. So after nearly three years and 67 episodes, I think it’s time to call it. If you ever tuned in, shared an episode, recommended a guest, or came on the show yourself — thank you. Truly. The Web3 gaming community showed up for me in ways I never imagined, and I’m grateful for every conversation, every DM, and every moment. I’m not sure what my next creative project will be, but knowing myself… something will eventually find me. For now — this is Matthew, signing off as The Web3 Gamer.

It's hard to believe Demon's Souls remake will be Bluepoint's LAST game. Should have been their first of many. Imagine releasing something this great only for your studio to get shut down.

@nelsonikenworie @pratikbin @NodeOpsHQ Appreciate the traffic @nelsonikenworie it was a pleasure having @pratikbin on and they are welcome back anytime! Truly discussed some really great topics and I learned tons.

Big Tech will not own the future of AI and Web3. Most people see Web3 infrastructure as complex. @pratikbin saw it as a chance to rebuild it better. He went from enterprise cloud → open-source → Cosmos → co-founding @NodeOpsHQ. NodeOps makes it simple to set up and manage blockchain nodes and compute resources. On @TheWeb3Gamer Podcast, he shared how DePIN 2.0 is becoming the backbone of the internet. A future where compute power is shared across communities, not locked inside corporate servers. For developers and enterprises, the vision is clear: Cut costs. Scale securely. Adopt faster. With DevSecOps built into every layer, NodeOps puts both security and accessibility first. The future of AI and blockchain needs decentralized compute. This episode opened my eyes to why. 🎧 Listen below 👇and tell me what you think: #DePIN #Web3
