When you start with the player, the rest takes care of itself.
Maybe more accurately, when you start with the player, gather up a bunch of fairly impressive malcontents, use Web3 technologies in a truly Web3 sort of way, and make sure the whole thing is fun for all…THEN the rest takes care of itself.
Here are those malcontents:

The point is not to decentralize the world. The point is to change it.
The Future of Play
NOR
NOR is a platform for play. It’s a fully-realized universe with its own history, its own future, its own economy, and its own natural laws. This is where players compete for coin and glory—and where death truly matters.
Advisors.
Consortium9 is creating the future of interactive entertainment.
The state of play in the gaming industry is broken, and we aren’t saying anything new by claiming this. From over-funded AAA games failing to deliver on their promise to the new wave of Play2Earn, every game seems to be taking the worst parts of the videogame business and somehow finding new lows.
We’re here to bring back everything that made games fun in the first place. To do away with pay-to-win, play-to-earn, and all the other ways the gaming industry has stripped the fun from play. We’re not here to cynically recreate all their worst inventions with shiny new technology; we’re here to create the world in which we ourselves want to play. That’s why we’re building NOR. A gaming platform built for players, that uses technology in service of play.
