Chaos Follow After Solana President Says 3 Words About Gaming
Summary
Solana (SOL) Foundation President Lily Liu sparked a major reaction by stating that blockchain gaming is finished, following Meta's announcement about shutting down its Metaverse project. Liu's comment, "...gaming on a blockchain is not coming back," carried weight as she is listed as the head of gaming in her X bio and previously called blockchain gaming efforts "intellectually lazy." Instead of formal correction, Solana Foundation CPO Vibhu posted satirical crisis communications calling her statements "factually correct and extremely based" and jokingly punishing her by assigning her to play all current Solana games. The Solana Gaming account then humorously named her the new "Head of Gaming." This self-aware humor resonated because it acknowledged the collapse of the 2021 play-to-earn model, signaling that Solana leadership recognizes the failure of the old approach despite heavy investment in gaming infrastructure.
