Hello everyone, after giving last 5 months in building
@YoinkPlay @Cookitplease and
@papextrade, with a heavy heart I have a unfortunate news to share.
I am shutting down
@YoinkPlay @Cookitplease and removing token gated trading tournaments on
@papextrade due to India's new gaming bill that bans all games that require money of any form

I have had great ideas to build awesome P2E games at Yoink Play, started with 4 cards
https://4-cards-crypto.vercel.app/ which is a multi player card passing game, a like prediction game on Arena with
@Cookitplease and now
@papextrade , a paper trading app with token gated trading contests.
While
@YoinkPlay and
@Cookitplease is going to shut down,
@papextrade is going to run without trading tournaments.
On a personal note, it's a big pain to see my months of hard work go in dust due to regulatory reasons. I had put my heart and soul building those products. I think only way to run the projects in its current form was it being acquired outside India but that's not something I can do for now.
Will be taking a break and rethink about what I am gonna do next next ❤️
