Filipino-led decentralized gaming guild Yield Guild Games (YGG) announced the launch of the first-ever reality show that will highlight crypto gamers and crypto games. The show will premiere on July 1, 2022.
The reality show called YGG Playhouse will be hosted by YGG Pilipinas, led by Luis Buenaventura, YGG Pilipinas’ Country Manager, and is an “effort to help the community power through the crypto winter.”
In a statement, YGG Playhouse will be a space for content creators to collaborate and develop effective content to enrich the community.
“The YGG Playhouse is in line with YGG’s direction to nurture a democratic and collaborative environment where members can thrive beyond gaming. It will act as a studio where content creators develop effective materials that highlight the impact of the play-to-earn community, and future expansions, in the lives of the “new heroes” – ordinary Filipinos who found opportunities in the metaverse to support their families,” the announcement read.
In addition, the gaming guild is already working with content creators Jomari “ArcherPerez” David, Vittorio Miguel “VMG” Gonzales, Enrico Jerome “BoarKnock” Toliongco, and Gerald Rivera “Jobols” Domingo in developing crypto-centered contents like joint streams, showdowns, financial literacy, everyday life with crypto, and participating in community events.
“We are honored that YGG values the work that we do for the community, and we are very excited to work with them to achieve the same goal. We have always enjoyed creating content for the community, but it is even more meaningful now knowing that we can contribute to a strong advocacy.”

YGG did not mention how long a YGG Playhouse Series or season will happen, but the July 1 show will be its pilot episode. The episode first premiered at YGG’s roadtrip event in Baguio.
“The YGG Playhouse is one of the many initiatives we are organizing to help bind this community by upholding empowerment and inclusivity while gearing ourselves up for better opportunities,” said Buenaventura.
The Country Manager of YGG Pilipinas also emphasized that they will continue to support Filipinos who need sources of livelihood.
“YGG is working hard to forge paths in the metaverse that can benefit Filipinos. The YGG Playhouse is a crucial step for us in this direction, and we hope that with our efforts, the community will be in a much better position to maximize the potential of Web3.”
