The time has come to make money from playing games, according to Yield Guild Games, which has raised $1.325 million to enable this to happen.

Yield Guild Games is a pool of 2,500 people who believe in the “play-to-earn” model that rewards gamers for playing games. The group is known as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and its investors and players own it. [Updated with correction at 7:17 p.m. on 3/10/21: The DAO does not yet exist. It is being planned, according to Yield Guild Games]. It takes the money from investors and earned by players and reinvests it in game assets and virtual land.
