Working for money and playing games for fun - this is something our generation takes for granted. But have you ever thought that these two lines can actually intersect?

The skills you demonstrate in games, such as operations, strategies, and teamwork, are often more impressive than your performance at work. But what happens to those skills? Once the game shuts down, they're gone. All you have left is the conversation topics you can share. Isn't that a shame?

Yield Guild Games (YGG) sees this contradiction. It is not the kind of project that just shouts slogans, but is genuinely building a system that allows your investment in games to be converted into real money.

**What did it do?**

In simple terms, YGG acts like an investor. It first purchases the core assets in the game—land, rare characters, equipment NFTs, etc. Then it lends these items to players in need, on the condition of sharing the profits earned in the game.

This is what is called the "Scholarship Program". You don't have to spend your own money to buy equipment; you can jump right in and start working, earning shared points. For players, the threshold has been lowered; for guilds, assets have become more utilized; for the game, there are more active users.

**Can this logic work?**

The key lies in the flywheel effect. After the guild receives the revenue, a portion flows back into the treasury to continue investing in new games and purchasing new assets, attracting more players to join. The more people there are, the more active the ecosystem becomes, and the value of assets rises accordingly.

This is not a fantasy. In the early days of Axie Infinity, many players in Southeast Asia were able to support their families by playing games through YGG's model. Of course, there are risks when the market fluctuates, but at least it proves one thing: **gaming skills can be monetized**.

Perhaps this is the third way - neither simply working nor purely consuming entertainment, but rather putting your passion and abilities into a system that can generate returns.
