Open-World Games Where Ignoring The Main Quest Is The Best Way To Play

by

Many open-world games are so immersive that players often get lost in exploring and creating their own adventures, sometimes even putting the main story aside – and that’s often the best way to experience them.

Here are some examples of games that do this exceptionally well.

by

On Wednesday, Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino took the stage (probably with a mic drop) to announce that all crypto companies, from exchanges to custody providers, must now get themselves an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL).

DeFi’s Big Leap: How Regulating Your Finances Could Turn the World Pink

by

According to Nazarov, DeFi is approximately 30% of the way to being everyone’s breakfast cereal, with the remaining 70% hung up on a giant question mark called ‘Regulation.’ He claims that once regulation clarifies how we can trust these swanky onchain systems – bit like giving a kid a license to run wild but with a GPS – that number could shoot past 50%.
