# Philosophy ### Fun First Gaming Uprising Labs operates with a **“fun-first”** approach, centering its game publishing philosophy on creating engaging, accessible games that prioritize the player experience. This approach is in opposition to a blockchain token-first approach. By focusing on fun and engaging gameplay, Uprising has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional web2 gamers and the emerging web3 ecosystem without forcing players to adapt to the complexities of blockchain. ### Growing the Pie Uprising Labs aims to **“grow the pie”** of web3 users by attracting traditional gamers with a seamless experience. Instead of pushing blockchain elements, Uprising allows players to enjoy games without needing to interact with web3 components unless they choose. This approach prioritizes fun and accessibility, letting established gaming audiences transition naturally into web3. By focusing on high-quality games that stand on their own gameplay merits, Uprising removes entry barriers, creating an inclusive ecosystem. ### Web2 Accessibility Accessibility is a core tenet of Uprising’s model, making it easy for players to jump into games with minimal barriers. * Support for social sign-in wallets (such as Epic, Gmail, and Apple) alongside traditional web3 options like MetaMask * Gas-free model, removing transaction fees for players to enhance accessibility and ensure that games remain free of friction * Silent transaction signing to abstract away unnecessary blockchain noise for gamers * Easy on ramping using credit cards and other payment methods directly within the game ### Long-term Support Uprising’s publishing strategy includes robust support for developers, providing expertise in user acquisition, monetization, and engagement strategies designed for long-term success. By investing directly in games, Uprising ensures a vested interest in each title’s success and longevity. This partnership approach allows developers to focus on refining gameplay while benefiting from Uprising’s extensive network and experience in both game development and blockchain. **Philosophy Summary:** * Fun first gaming * Growing the pie outside of web3 * Web2 accessibility to bring more traditional audience into blockchain * Long term support for players and developers --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
