<p>Open Loot, the infrastructure platform behind Big Time, looks to improve long-term sustainability and player value with a new update. Moving on, Open Loot will shift toward a policy with fewer, more strategic partnerships, while doubling down on internal game development.</p><p>Open Loot has been about true digital ownership and compelling gaming experiences, a policy that needs to be reevaluated in the light of&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/news/funjible-games-report-2025-crypto-gaming-trends">new crypto gaming trends</a>. Instead of onboarding new third-party titles, Open Loot will now prioritize working with first-party IPs and select partner studios.</p><p>“Web3 gaming is still in its earliest phase, and success rates remain low across the board,” said CEO Ari Meilich in the announcement. “Now, it’s time to apply our lessons and sharpen our focus.”&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Open Loot is entering an exciting new chapter.<br><br>🎮 We’re building new in-house games, a mobile pet-collecting adventure in the Big Time universe and a high-stakes competitive strategy game, and more.<br><br>🤝 Plus, we’re rolling out a $2.9M discount credit program, expanding Big Time… <a href="https://t.co/VYO4lwfQ5J">pic.twitter.com/VYO4lwfQ5J</a></p>— Open Loot (@OpenLoot) <a href="https://twitter.com/OpenLoot/status/1970953408833257837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><h2>The Progress So Far</h2><p>Open Loot’s decision follows years of heavy investment into a broad portfolio of Web3 titles.
