Buyback ideas, connection counts and onboarding tools remain separate developments
Soby floated a hypothetical combination of airdrops to node holders and XAI stakers, plus Xai Foundation buybacks funded from game revenue shares. His post asked the community for a response. It was a value-distribution idea, not an adopted treasury policy or a record of purchases. Evaluating such a mechanism would require revenue actually received, the authority to allocate it and the execution terms of any buyback.

Xai separately reported 2 million connected gamers through Xai connect and 2,000 builders preparing to deploy. The second figure described a development pipeline, not completed applications, while the first was the project's own connection measure. Neither number established recurring expenditure or developer revenue. They identified a funnel whose conversion into released products and repeat activity remained the important investment question.
The Moddio announcement introduced a different route to participation: community members could use the Modd World editor to build social games with Xai tokens as intended in-game utility. That expanded the available creation tooling. The post did not count shipped games or specify a commercial revenue split; those outcomes would depend on what creators built and what their users adopted.
An administrator also announced upgraded Wallet Connect support for account creation and subsequent login through email or social accounts, while existing MetaMask login continued to work. This was an access-flow change rather than a new investment product. Its practical effect would be assessed through successful account creation, recovery and continued use, separately from the buyback idea and the headline connection totals.
