There are many reasons I believe despite the reduction in the hype, I still think there's a lot to admire with gaming projects, especially the mini games on Telegram.
Personally, the major issue I've had with gaming in web3 is that a lot of the games we have require very complex setups, and seeing games like CATI or even MAJOR that integrates directly with Telegram, a platform a lot of people already use daily, makes it a lot easier, especially if you're reward oriented.
