According to TechFlow, Delphi Digital's latest report shows that GameFi industry funding in 2025 declined by over 55% year-on-year, with most highly anticipated projects failing to meet expectations. Meanwhile, 'Web2.5 games' that use blockchain as pure infrastructure and often skip token mechanisms are quietly rising. Studios like Fumb Games, Mythical Games, and Wemade/Wemix have successfully increased profit margins, user engagement, and created new revenue streams through blockchain technology. In contrast, Web3-native games, while generating six to seven-figure revenues, suffer from small player bases, often dominated by bots, and lose appeal once incentives dry up.
