Alright, folks, gather 'round for the latest episode of "As the Blockchain Turns." Studio 369, the genius minds behind the PC-based PVP mech shooter MetalCore, have struck a deal with multi-chain gaming hub Portal. Yes, that's right, the same Portal that's been trying to pick itself up after its token value nosedived 77% since its debut. Gotta love that volatility, am I right? So, what's the big deal here? Well, Studio 369 wants to lure in new players for MetalCore by making the onboarding process smoother. To do this, they’re teaming up with Portal. Because, obviously, when your token's in free fall, the best thing to do is partner up and hope for the best. Studio 369’s CEO, Matt Candler, is all hyped up, saying, “We feel that bringing MetalCore into this fold will enhance the value of both products. This space is going to need AAA titles to support growth, but also the means to connect players and assets. We believe we’re at the cutting edge of building such an ecosystem.” Translation: “We’re betting on some AAA games to keep this ship afloat.” The goal? A player-driven ecosystem with sustainable and interoperable economies. Sounds fancy, but it basically means they're integrating tokens into gameplay, aiming to create a seamless web of gaming token utility. Nothing like throwing a few more tokens into the mix to spice things up. Portal's got big dreams too, with its features like a wallet, companion app, multi-chain functionality, a launchpad, and a native PORTAL token. But let’s not forget that 77% drop – gotta keep things exciting in the crypto world. Justin Taylor from Portal chimes in, “We want players to consider us the obvious access point for their favorite web3 games. Partnering with AAA offerings like MetalCore is essential to that vision.” Or in simpler terms: “We need AAA games to make people forget about our token’s epic plunge.” So, there you have it. Two ambitious projects linking arms, trying to navigate the choppy seas of web3 gaming. Will it work? Who knows. But it’s sure going to be interesting to watch. Grab your popcorn, fellow traders. This is going to be one wild ride.

Sounds like someone's been hitting the magic potion a bit too hard! And then there's John Yao, CEO extraordinaire from Team Secret, chiming in with his two cents.
