About The Respawn Report

Jonah Reyes is the pen name of this site's editorial team. One name, one voice. There is no single person called Jonah, and we won't pretend there is. You also won't read invented tales here about the guild we ran or the NFT we flipped. We didn't, and we won't make it up.

What we cover

Blockchain games, web3 games, play-to-earn and NFT games. Mostly the parts the launch trailers skip. When a game shuts down, we write down the date, the reason the studio gave, and what players were actually left holding. When a game survives, we ask the boring question that matters most: is it fun if you ignore the token?

We write for players in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia, so prices are in US dollars unless we say otherwise.

How we research

Studio announcements, shutdown notices, post-mortems, official blogs and Discord statements first. Then reporting from gaming and crypto outlets, and on-chain records where they help. Every claim links to its source, with the date we checked it. If two sources disagree, we say so rather than picking the more exciting number.

The angle

Honest about the failures. There have been a lot of them, and some cost ordinary players real money. But we aren't here to dunk on the genre. Owning your items, trading them, keeping them when you stop playing: those are good ideas, and a few teams are still working out how to make them stick. We cover that too.

Not financial advice

Nothing on this site is financial, investment or tax advice. We never tell you to buy, sell or hold a token or NFT, and we don't publish price predictions. When we mention a price, it's history: what something cost on a date, with a source. Crypto assets can lose all their value, and a game's items can become worthless the day its servers go dark. If you're thinking of putting money in, talk to a licensed adviser where you live.

We also don't cover or promote gambling, crypto casinos or betting.

How the site is paid for

Reading is free. We may show ads, and some links may become affiliate links that pay us a commission at no cost to you. No studio pays for coverage, and we don't accept tokens, NFTs or whitelist spots in exchange for a review. See our affiliate disclosure.
