- Former BOGX executive claims the Web3 game abandoned its blockchain features after raising crypto funds.
- Ex-CMO Amber Bella alleges the founder blocked communication when asked to refund NFT buyers.
- Accusations include unpaid Web3 team salaries and Web2 team members claiming prizes meant for players.
Former Blade of God X (BOGX) chief marketing officer Amber Bella has publicly accused the game’s developers of abandoning their blockchain-based roadmap after securing funding from Web3 investors. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) on April 1, Bella claimed the action RPG project completely dropped its Web3 features while leaving NFT buyers without compensation.
“Web3 was completely abandoned, and my Web3 team’s salaries went from delayed payments to no payments at all,” Bella wrote. She further alleged that Tnise Liu Yang, the game’s founder, refused to address the situation and instead blocked her from all personal communication channels when she proposed refunding NFT purchasers.
Allegations of Mismanagement and Deception
According to Bella’s statements, the situation deteriorated when she suggested “settling the Web3 side” responsibly as the project pivoted to become fully Web2-focused. “When I requested that Tnise refund all sold NFTs and properly address the Web3 community, including returning the in-game purchases made by Web3 users during the third test, I discovered I had been blocked from all personal communication channels without any advance notice,” she explained.
The former executive also accused the game’s Web2 team of claiming prizes that were meant for players. Bella claimed they discovered that Web2 team members were using their own accounts to complete challenges and collect cash rewards intended for the player community. She stated they initially denied this practice but admitted to it when presented with evidence linking the accounts to their wallets.
Project Background and Investment History
Blade of God X is an action role-playing game developed by Void Labs. The project received backing from OKX Ventures, which announced its investment on May 11, 2024. In a now-deleted press release, OKX Ventures had described the game as one that “merges advanced AI agents with blockchain technology.”
Cointelegraph reported reaching out to Blade of God X for comments on these allegations, but received no response by the time of publication. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions in the Web3 gaming space, where projects sometimes struggle to deliver on blockchain-based promises after securing funding from crypto-oriented investors.
