Most of us have greatly enjoyed playing video games (at a point in our lives) so it’s effortless for us to understand why the global gaming industry is constantly increasing. Also, it’s not at all difficult to relate to players that choose to save princesses and slay dragons, who fight bloody wars in the future or manage their favorite sports team. But if someone who never played a computer game would ask us what’s so special about this hobby, what would we actually say?
We’d probably mention the fact that games are fun and entertaining (chasing away boredom at any point of the day), they challenge our skills and abilities, they offer a great emotional satisfaction and they help us connect and interact with other players. Some of us may even add that games take away stress, are similar to stories you find in a book, can help users practice all sorts of life skills or keep them preoccupied (as an alternative to negative habits or behavior).
Games are easy to get to (available on all sorts of devices and easy to install), there’s a tremendous offer to choose from, they’re affordable, attractive; moreover, there are a lot of opponents to choose from (of different degrees). And now, there’s something more that can motivate people to play video games!
Yumerium - a new stage in gaming
This innovative project wishes to create a platform where users are rewarded with game tokens (YUM tokens) by taking part in various games, by making the most of blockchain and smart contract technology. Forget the old habit of using real money for purchasing games, subscriptions or games items!
Using the YUM token translates to three main options (inside the platform):
- Pay to play - in this category, the players have to pay a certain amount of money before creating their profile and starting their adventure
- Free to play - here, users start without any obligation but in order to make progress along the way, they have to pay
- Earn to play - finally, this segment allows individuals to earn money (or pay certain amounts of money during the games) by playing specific games.
So, as you can see, this is similar to a mechanism that keeps fueling itself - the token is at the core of all processes. It motivates users to keep playing, to try new games, to spend as much time online and then to spend the tokens generated.
Thus, Yumerium will create a promising gaming community where individuals will be rewarded for all their efforts - playing, sharing and reviewing games. It will also be a platform for developers to launch and promote their products in a more efficient manner, by decentralizing the way in which marketing and payments are made.
