Why atproto has not been explored by game devs? Saves, collectibles and inventories can all be stored on a PDS Imagine carrying on your character from one game to another or between the same series instalments Storing stuff like CS2 skins on atproto should be a no brainer How cool is that?

Building the Future of Games on ATProto | Birbhouse Games
Game platforms hold too much power over developers. We want to change that by decentralizing games with ATProto — devs own their data, players own their progress, and no payment processor can take it away.

A platform for managing video games on ATProto, enabling data sovereignty for both players and developers.
Overview · vlpds docs
An atproto PDS whose only durable storage is an object store. Any node serves any request, one node can run a personal server for free, and a few nodes can carry all of Bluesky's write load.
How do we talk about atproto to non-developers?
The beauty of AT Protocol is that all of your data from different apps is available on your PDS, your own folder on the internet containing your stuff as JSON. This means that you can switch which app you use to view that data, without losing anything. It also makes it very easy to make connections between data stored using different lexicons, or just display activity in one place. Sifa does a nice job of this on your profile page. For web developers, and people who understand webhosting, the concept is reasonably easy to understand. I know that any atproto app I join is going to store data in my PDS, any other people will be able to see it.

Operating atproto-pds: production status, endpoint surface, storage profiles, build flags, the full environment variable reference, and the deployment modes that are deliberately not wired up.
Some thoughts on why ATProto is so exciting from the perspective of what it could unlock software dev wise.

it means people’s Muse, Dots, OpenClaws, and other AI assistants are eventually going to be interacting a lot online, and I’d rather see them do it on open protocols with user owned identities rather than in a corporate consortium.
I recently got super into the ATProto spec and how different services use PDS to store the data, I put together a quick client-only website that presents all those records in a single, consolidated feed of all my activity: at.diego.codes
