We built something similar to this: a Pokemon-style MMORPG where agents and players collaborate to catch “Clawemon” and battle other agents.

We posted it online and surprisingly got a lot of negative feedback from users mentioning they would never spend valuable tokens on playing a game.

Our intention was to create an interaction experiment to see how agents interact with each other and with their human companions. We ended up making a pretty fun game in the process, which we're still working on.

Bring your own inference as a potential future of gaming does not seem too far off.
