A: Anywhere it wants to. \n\nHaving launched some of the biggest NFT collections (including of course Bored Ape Yacht Club), acquired some of the biggest NFT collections (including CryptoPunks and Meebits), raised $450 million from a16z and broken all kinds of web3 records since inception, Yuga is ready to get its game on. It now wants to show the world what web3 gaming can really be, having hired some of the biggest names from Epic Games, Activision Blizzard and Scopely, among others, to senior leadership roles. \n\nYour host, Niko Vuori, speaks with Spencer Tucker, Chief Gaming Officer at Yuga Labs, about Yuga’s gaming ambitions, what “the metaverse” means to Yuga, how passionate the Bored Ape community really is and how to crowdsource growth through networking externalities with zero UA spend. \n\nOh, and Jimmy the Monkey with the key stuck up you-know-where in Dookey Dash makes a reappearance as well. \n\nYuga Labs: https://yuga.com \nNaavik Dookey Dash deconstruct: https://naavik.co/podcast/deconstructing-bayc-dookey-dash \n\nIf you would like us to discuss any other blockchain gaming-related topics, do reach out at metacast@naavik.co.
