Love Letter to WolvesDen♥️🐺
Been to WolvesDen two years in a row now, and there's a certain magic that's hard to describe in words. Having a home base that's filled at all times with people who genuinely love gaming and want to see this space succeed is priceless
Seen so many posts about what a good time people had at the Den, how they felt at home, how it recharged their belief and reinvigorated their drive to crush it. Reading these comments has been the best feeling
We want those who are trying to drive change and innovation to stay mentally strong and motivated. Knowing that WolvesDen played a part in that makes me so proud to be part of this community
In times when vibes & attention are down and serious questions are being asked about the future, moments like this can mean a lot. Stepping away from the timeline to be surrounded in person with people who are still excited, still building, and earnestly pushing themselves and everyone else forward is so refreshing
Grinding through when it can feel at times like nobody cares and everyone thinks you're crazy can be draining.
No better way to recharge than with good conversations, epic vibes, and the pure joy or basking in the love for games that brought us all here in the first place. I know I personally needed this and am coming away ready to go to war for everyone here
One of the best things this year was seeing the Den organically become a gamer nerd haven (who says there aren't gamers in web3?!?!)
We had a 5 man crew sweating in DOTA 2 until 5 in the morning, 8 gaming PCs that were fully used every second of the day, a live DnD campaign that went on from 1-4am. These people aren't larping in this space, they ARE the audience they're building for
Coming away from GDC with priceless memories, new friends, strengthened bonds with existing friends, and a renewed drive to do whatever I can to make sure the good teams and builders in this space make it
So much love to the Wolves team and volunteers that made this happen. To sponsors for making it possible. To everyone who showed up and rolled through for contributing to the immaculate vibes
And selfishly, thanks for turning the fact that my bday is always on GDC week from a negative/neutral thing into my favorite thing ever. Being able to spend my birthday at the WolvesDen with my favorite people ever is such a privilege
Much love to everyone out there doing their part for our degen corner of the industry. Always here to support however I can ♥️
