I should start with a clear disclaimer.
I'm not a gamer. I know zero about gaming, which means I know very little about SuiPlay 0X1, a new handheld device made by Sui (with Playtron). And to be honest I also don't really care about it. But I care about SuiPlay 0X1.
I know it costs $599, and I know I won't buy it. But I still think it's an important tool, and other crypto firms should look into this.
One of the main problems that crypto has faced pretty much since its inception is bad UX/UI.
Some people are always using words such as 'onboarding' but it's difficult to onboard people if your main selling point is software that's complicated to explain and more complicated to understand.
That's where hardware comes into play - no pun intended.
With SuiPlay, Sui is telling you, "hey, this is a gaming device, a handheld device, and by the way we're actually a crypto company".
It's like Solana with Saga and Seeker.
We need more of this stuff.
We need more crypto phones and crypto gaming devices and crypto laptops and what-have-you.
