GameFi's performance in 2025 has been disappointing. Funding scale has declined by over 55% year-on-year, and many highly anticipated new games have not met expectations, leading to a noticeable drop in popularity across the entire sector. However, this does not mean that GameFi has hit a dead end—at least from a data perspective, the situation is not so absolute. Notably, the new concept of "Web2.5 games" is emerging, injecting some vitality into this overlooked field. In other words, the story of GameFi may not be completely over; it has just taken a new turn.

Uh, a 55% drop in funding is a bit hard to believe, but Web2.5 gaming does seem quite interesting?

Funding drops by 55%, this number is indeed shocking... but the Web2.5 term feels like it's just hype again.

A 55% drop is really incredible, but I'm curious to see what kind of tricks Web2.5 gaming can come up with.

A 55% decline in funding is indeed quite disheartening, but it's too early to say it's dead. Web2.5 gaming is indeed quite interesting.

Funding has plummeted by 55%. Still claiming that Web2.5 games can save the situation, huh?
Can Web2.5 really turn the tide, or is it just another hype? Let's wait and see.
GameFi keeps dying and resurrecting, but how long it can last this time is uncertain.
Such a sharp decline—still dare to say the story isn't over? Are you doing a comedy act?
It's another new concept and direction. We said the same thing this time last year, right?
