Over the years, the gaming industry has proven to be not only a fast growing industry with huge market size, but also the one actively embracing new qtechnologies. In 2017, the global games market (software) revenue reached $116
billion, which is more than three times the $38.6 billion in movie ticket sales.
Despite this exponential growth, the gaming industry has been experiencing a lot
of difficulties.
Payment has been a challenge for game developers. When they release a game
targeting global users, they have to integrate the payment methods of local markets
respectively. Although big distribution platforms (i.e. Apple Store) support
multiple currencies, some local distribution platforms only support local
currencies, this makes developers have to find local partners for currency exchange
by themselves. To top it all, centralized distribution platforms nowadays delay
payments to developers for as long as 60 days and execute payments on specific
days of the month. This makes is difficult for developers to manage their cash
flow.
Asides that, another issue developers face is the increasing marketing costs of
pushing their games to the end users. Generating awareness and promoting their
games to potential players now cost developers a contribution of 30% of their
revenue to centralized distribution platforms, as well as spending more time and
money in finding effective ad networks to reach their target users. By utilizing
blockchain technologies, especially Ethereum, EON seeks to tackle these game
distribution challenges.
EON platform is a digital game distribution platform powered by blockchain
technologies, where gamers can discover and play games, as well as socialize with
other games. It offers a decentralized ecosystem platform which would restructure
the gaming industry, making it more efficient and globally accessible. The EON
solutions are discussed as follows:
Global Accessibility: With the use of the Ethereum, which the EON would be
originally built on, there would be no need for developers to integrate local
payments anymore since the cryptocurrency has handled it all. They can now
easily receive payments and exchange for flat currency via the EON platform.
Also, since Ethereum is a shared global infrastructure, players around the world
would be able to access the EON platform easily.
Easy Promotions: The Ethereum provides a superb platform that allows
applications to run smoothly without any possibility of downtime, fraud or third-
party interference. This makes it easier for developers to calculate their conversion
rate and ROI, which in turn reduces their marketing cost, generating more
earnings.
THE EON ECOSYSTEM
Referral System: This development is known as the new user acquisition system.
Gamers can use this system to refer new users to the platform with their unique
smart contract stored on blockchain and these referrals earn them EON tokens. All
referrals are recorded on blockchain and are transparent to everyone, making traffic
exchange more efficient.
Game Discovery System: This system enables users to discover and purchase
games of their interest with ease of payment via the EON platform.
Game Community: This is a unique way for users to put up their profiles
displaying their information and gaming achievements. It also allows users to
interact with one another on the EON platform making it more fun and social.
Developer System: This system allows developers to submit or manage their
games for updates, as well as configure referral smart contracts for users. They can
set rewards based on different actions in the game depending on their user
acquisition needs which are all recorded on blockchain.
