# Making Games Sustainable Two mechanics have damaged player trust in games over the past decade. Pay-to-win gives financial advantages to players who spend more, creating an uneven playing field. Play-to-earn turns games into jobs, where players grind for extraction until the economy collapses under its own weight. Warped Universe avoids both. Gameplay-enhancing items are earned through skill and effort, never purchased. Ownership features add value for players who want them without affecting the experience for those who don't. The goal is a game people play because it's genuinely fun, not because they are chasing returns or trying to keep up with bigger spenders. --- # 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.
