Blade of God X Accused of Ditching Web3 After Crypto Funding, Says Former Exec

In an April 1 post on X, Amber Bella, who previously worked as the game’s chief marketing officer, claimed the team responsible for the Web3 side of the project was let down once the funding was secured.

Bella said her team’s pay was first delayed, then stopped completely, even though the game had promised to build features using blockchain technology. She said these plans were dropped without warning, and her efforts to handle things properly were ignored.

Bella contacted the game’s founder, Tnise Liu Yang, asking him to return money to non-fungible token (NFT) buyers and to give back in-game purchases made by users during one of the game’s test phases. However, she said:

I discovered I had been blocked from all personal communication channels without any advance notice.

Bella also stated she had suggested closing out the Web3 side of the game if the team wanted to move toward a more traditional model. This suggestion, too, received no support.

Furthermore, Bella said the team managing the regular game features used their own accounts to collect prizes meant for users. According to her, this was hidden from the Web3 group and only stopped after they provided proof linking the accounts to those team members.
