I've gotten some questions: does it really make sense to plan to build a distributed game system as part of the fediverse? Will that actually pay off or is it just one big gamble?
I think:
- Having things be fun for players/users may make them more likely to join. People want to build things together. May help alleviate the "join a federated social network to talk about federated social networks" problem
- Having things be fun for me is good too :)
@cwebber that sounds very cool. Is it going to be only for gaming? I mean, will you have to extend the protocol specifically for gaming, or does AP already support sharing information beyond text, images, links, that needs a special client to create and display?
