YGG Play, the gaming division of Yield Guild Games (YGG) has announced a partnership with Proof of Play, the studio behind Pirate Nation, to expand its publishing network ahead of its Launchpad debut tomorrow, October 15th.
The collaboration will bring Proof of Play Arcade, a platform hosting the updated version of Pirate Nation, into YGG Play’s publishing ecosystem.

YGG Play functions as a Web3 game publishing and distribution platform, designed to help developers launch, market, and monetize blockchain games using YGG’s global player network. The platform provides go-to-market support, community engagement, and smart contract–driven revenue sharing for partner studios.
The new partnership follows several months of collaboration between the two companies, including early playtesting of Pirate Nation through YGG’s Game Testers Program.
The agreement comes shortly after Proof of Play shut down Pirate Nation’s original on-chain version due to high operational costs. The game has since been relaunched on Abstract as a pay-per-play arcade title.
The timing aligns with YGG Play’s Launchpad rollout tomorrow. The Launchpad will kick off with LOL, the in-game token for LOL Land, a casual board game with blockchain features. The platform blends token launches, player events, and game discovery, aiming to make Web3 gaming more accessible and rewarding for a wider audience.
Why This Matters
The partnership signals a move toward a more sustainable phase in Web3 gaming, as studios focus on accessible gameplay and genuine in-game value rather than speculative reward models.
