#MinoGames #Dimensionals #Web2 #Web3 #NFT #gaming #blockchain
According to Odaily, Web3 game developer Mino Games has announced the transition of its card game 'Dimensionals' to a Web2 model.

However, the project faced significant challenges, including a large number of whitelist giveaways being claimed by bots and multiple DDoS attacks. Additionally, the reform of NFT royalties, which eliminated a key revenue source, led to a sudden collapse in income. As the value of NFTs plummeted, some community members began scamming others within the community.
