Raj Gokal, who co‑founded Solana and remains an influential voice in blockchain gaming, posted on X that the current quality of vibe‑coded games makes a contrarian strategy worthwhile. He argues that revisiting the loot mechanics popular during the NFT boom could mature into a Ready Player One‑style platform where players converge in a shared virtual world. Gokal notes that few developers are pursuing this path, which he sees as a signal that the opportunity is ripe for early adopters. If executed, such a platform could blend proven NFT loot economics with modern game design, potentially attracting both gamers and crypto investors.

“with the level of quality of vibe coded games, the contrarian play right now is a re-hash of loot from the nft boom days. could legitimately evolve into a ready player one platform. nobody will do it, but that’s why now is the time to do it.”
