Navigating the Steam vs. Web3 divide: Why the Undeads "Hybrid" model works

[Asma Amin]

I’ll admit, when I first heard Undeads was launching on Steam back in November, I was skeptical. Most "Web3" games struggle to satisfy traditional gamers, but after playing the Steam build for a few weeks, the polish is undeniable.

The way they’ve handled the "Play-to-Own" mechanics without forcing the blockchain side down everyone’s throat is a masterclass in game design. I love that I can just focus on survival and base-building, and then engage with the $UDS economy when I’m ready to upgrade to "Legendary" gear.

For the veterans here: Do you think the influx of Steam players is going to change the Faction War meta? I’ve noticed the "Human" settlements are becoming much more organized lately.

My suggestion: We should have a "New Survivor" mentor program on the forum where long-term holders can help the Steam newcomers optimize their first NFT purchase.
