## Resource

Online gaming is mutating from entertainment into a self-organising digital economy. AI agents now design worlds, manage resources and shape narratives in real time, while Web3 anchors ownership, governance and value on chain. The impact is profound: games become laboratories for autonomous markets, digital labour and creator economies. For players, this blurs play and work; for platforms, it turns gaming into infrastructure for future digital societies.
