Yield Guild Games co-founder Gabby Dizon said its web3 game publishing arm went dark on Friday.
"@YGG_Play services will shut down as of today," Dizon wrote on his verified X account on Friday, adding that "our @YieldGuild story continues - more on this starting next week!"
The unit posted its own sign-off 43 minutes earlier. "Today marks the final day for YGG Play," the YGG Play account wrote, thanking users who played its games, completed quests or staked YGG. Asked in the replies how far the closure reaches, the account said it covers "just @YGG_Play! Yield guild main will always stay."
Dizon announced on July 6 that YGG was sunsetting the publishing unit, affecting 35 jobs, and that the games LOL Land and Waifu Sweeper along with the YGG Play platform "will be available until July 31st, then will go offline." Departing staff would receive eight additional weeks of pay, he said.
Alongside the wind-down, YGG disclosed a treasury of $20.6 million as of the end of the first quarter, including $6.2 million in stablecoins, Treasury bills and large-cap tokens, and said shutting the unprofitable unit extended its operating runway to four years.
