What the fuck is 'GamerToken'? Anonymous 04/19/18 (Thu) 19:58:24 9f5a79 No.14667020

So I got this mail today from "GamerToken" and though it seems like a spam mail, I was intrigued so I looked around a bit and found webm related on youtube. Uploaded beginning of April this year, barely any views, no comments etc tells me it's bran new and already claiming it will "revolutionise", yes with an s, vidya.

"A decentralized, blockchain based currency that will unify the gaming world."

Here an archive of their site: https://archive.fo/MjtCo

Looks like shit archived, but I wouldn't want anybody to go there without an adblock/script blocker anyway so it is what it is.

So listening to webm related sorry for the file size of that thing, but I can't be assed to put more effort into this right now I am thinking to myself, whose fucking idea was it and do they really think that's going to take off?

The concept in itself seems harmless. Play video games and earn tokens/currency or whatever and trade/sell "in-game items", whatever that means.

For this to even work they'd need to create a whole online marketplace and economy, not to mention they'd have to interconnect with different developers and so on and so forth.

So here I am sitting, asking myself again, who in their right mind would want that? Would you, /v/? Would you like to grind 50 hours in a JRPG to trade your 'Fag Sword of the Cocksucker" for 20 e-currency tokens to buy yourself some delicious e-ramen?

Maybe a trip to the e-strip cl-, I mean e-hent-, I mean e-Love Hotel in VR to spend your sheckl-, I mean tokens on your favorite slu- I mean waifu?

The possibilities are limitless.

But the real question remains. Will you be able to convert real money into that e-currency bullshit and will actual developers go along with that if it means more cash for them and will this be the Bitcoin of video games fated to crash and burn much like its crypto-nigger brethren?

So is Shitcord, but people use it because it's "convenient" and simple.

Normalfags love to be interconnected with everything and everyone of their friends if it's easy and simple.

I'm just really asking myself here, will this take off? Will people actually bite and buy into this?

And if they do, will we start seeing games made solely for this shit like with lootboxes, now that they are being persecuted and forcefully removed in some instances?

Anonymous 04/19/18 (Thu) 20:16:46 89c153 No.14667111

It's fucking retarded. It's literally just using a blockchain cryptocurrency as a surrogate for actual money. Let's cover the basic issues with this shit.

* Players get GamerTokens somehow (either somehow "mining" them like BitCoin, which is prohibitively expensive, or buying them with real money, or getting them from other people in a direct sale).

* Players spend Tokens on in-game shit

* Game companies can track the market

* Game companies can reward heavy players with GamerTokens, which they can spend anywhere

The issues is that GamerTokens provide literally no benefit in any of these areas that regular fucking money doesn't. It doesn't make it easier to spend money on GamerTokens and then the product rather than just spend money on the product. Game companies can already track their sales and already have a shitload of insight into the market, especially with publicly-traded companies. Game companies already reward heavy players with credit and such, and in this system, you'd have game companies essentially giving cash back to heavy players (but cash as a literal money, as GamerTokens would have to be a fiat cryptocurrency like BitCoin to function) that they can then spend on other companies. No company wants to do that, and they wouldn't actually benefit from this.

This shit would cause a surge of influx of money into the market as the new people jump in, and then it would curl up and die when people realize that they're using "GameCash" that doesn't do anything that whatever Steam Wallet or whatever the fuck they have didn't already do.

Cryptocurrencies are cool, and very useful, but they aren't magic. They won't generate a flow of money from nowhere, they present very minimally more transparency, and they have a massively bigger curve to get into. All this does is fragment the userbase so they have to manage their real cash as well as GamerTokens as separate fiat currencies where the GamerTokens provide no other benefit than some stupid cashback rewards system. Nobody would use it for anything other than that, and nobody would ever have any reason to convert any of their actual money to GamerTokens, other than to quickly buy something that might only allow purchasing by GamerTokens (or that gives a discount for them).

This is a broken non-solution that doesn't even fix the problem it claims to, and the problem it claims to fix never existed. Good work, cryptoretards, you've succeeded in only trying to stuff blockchains into yet another place that they don't belong.

The issue is that it's actually less convenient than literal money and a store wallet, so nobody will adopt.

Here's hoping it won't. It would suck if there was somebody like EA or Steam trying and/or pushing for it in a couple years for whatever reason.

Well fuck me, as Kraut I should've put more effort into this it seems. No wonder the CEO's name is so german sounding. Not to mention the Fiesta font looked very familiar, too.

That fucking site is quite old and I didn't think they were still active.

It actually makes sense now where their capital for this came from.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any advertisement for this in german video game outlets yet. But there isn't many worthwhile ones left anyway.

It's not the video games hobby anymore, it's the video games community.

If it were a hobby, you couldn't be part of it without actually playing video games, and that wouldn't be inclusive, now would it?

No it isn't.

There's this massive tech conglomerate called 'Amazon' that has the same idea that's currently being done and provides a free game engine called Lumberyard to use that ties into their Twitch and AWS services.

>With GameOn you have an easy tool to bring more players in on the action— allowing them to compete for real-world prizes fulfilled by Amazon or other in- game rewards.

https://developer.amazon.com/gameon

There's also Google that's doing something similar with their Yeti project for Android. Then there's Valve that has a monopoly on PC gaming that has been doing online trading of digital assets for years already. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all have their own digital currencies and reward programs. Major publishers like Activision, Ubisoft, EA and Rockstar also have their own platforms for selling or trading digital goods on a per game basis.

Even if GamerToken wasn't your typical cryptocurrency scam there's no way anybody would use it over their own in house solutions.

They're trying to advertise it heavily it seems, so it seems like they have (((financial backers))). Don't bite for it.

BTC is overvalued, but it's the only really free crypto at the moment. Jews have been trying to usurp it because they can't control it, and they hate that

Not one person in this thread is contesting this much. The question is how much of a future does it have. It doesn't have to be them who succeed, but somebody will find a way to make money off of this idea somehow.

And it would be better if everybody at least knew about it in advance.

You are, OP. It doesn't have a future, and you're either a shill or completely retarded for thinking it might.

>And it would be better if everybody at least knew about it in advance.

The only reason for us wanting to know ahead of time, how successful a crypto-currency will be, is so we could plan investment in it before it rose in price. Again, I think your constant "oh but how successful will this be" and "it has to have a future" is a very poorly disguised sales pitch. It won't work, we aren't going to buy your shitty coin.
