ICOs for Game Developers
ICOS FOR GAME DEVELOPERS
As the gaming industry is experiencing massive growth, the global competition for market share has also rapidly increased.

Game Machine is a new project that is aiming to offer a new solution for this problem. Game Machine has developed a unique product that allows gamers to mine a specific cryptocurrency called Gamefuel, that can be later exchanged. The project is not only helping gamers but also helping game developers and potential investors.
Unlike many ICO projects, Game Machine already has a working product. After months of development and testing the client app, the team and has just released an Open Beta version. The Game Machine client consists of a miner and a store of items for popular games such as CS:GO and Dota 2.

The gamers get what they want by providing calculation powers of their PCs and not by paying their hard-earned money. The team is also providing constant updates for the mobile application of Game Machine.
With specific data, investors will be able to determine the popularity and activity of each game and thus decide in which project they might invest in.Game Machine is planning to allow game developers to create their own ICOs and directly host them on their platform.
