Hi Steemit!
We haven't introduced ourselves properly yet, so here we are the IMGMR core team. We started using the steemit platform a few days ago as a test with a few of our articles just to see how everything would go. We understand this is a young community and there is not a lot of gamers so far but we want to be part of the building up phase when it comes to gaming news on Steemit.
About Us
IMGMR, officially went online in June 2011 and was created by gamers, for gamers. IMGMR stands for “I am Gamer” and “I Make Gaming My Reality”.
IMGMR is backed by a community of gamers that share both the love for games and information, and the company is dedicated to ship said information in various forms through online media, news, reviews, previews, and editorials to cover the latest in gaming, anime and comics, TCG, tech, and everything else to satisfy our readers.

How IMGMR started
I am Salim Aka Slimzz, The CEO of IMGMR . I started IMGMR back in 2011, I was all alone. Back then it was just me and my passion. A lonely guy enjoying video games but I lacked something in my life and this is when I started writing about all kind of stuff. At first it was about my personnal gaming experiences , bloging about the games I used to play and what were my opinions of them. Once I started developing a passion for writing I jumped into the news scene , it was a slow start indeed but I loved what I was doing! One day a guy approached me and told me he was following my gaming news site for a while and though that we could maybe team up and see how things would work. That guy was Seiif and from this day we started working together explanding the team slowly and here we are for a total of 9 members offering gaming news for both english and french readers!
How latest gaming journey at E3!
It was absolutely madness! We did go to E3 in 2015 but this years was the most amazing experience we've had in our lives. It's hard to describe it all in word but here are some photos ( which will include some members from the french team.. And yes we have gorgeous girls writing for IMGMR! ) We were not able to make it for the whole team due to the limited amount of funds but we will try and share the most with you!

Alright since we don't want to spam this post with photos let's stop here !
How we heard about Steemit
Well, We have been very active within the reddit gaming community with giveaways to attract readers toward us but the competition over there is BIG. One of our staff member actually heard about Steemit trough his interest for Cryptocurrency and reported this platform to me. At first I was wondering if it was real but who cared at the moment, if it could bring us a better flow of revenue or more traffic and new readers why not? But the best part here is the fact that we seem to be "early birds" I can't imagine were we would stand if we were the early birds in reddit when it comes to gaming! We hope to see Steemit grow bigger then reddit some day and have our name as the first Steemit gaming news team. That would be one great accomplishment.
We will end this for now and we hope you enjoyed this post, we will be posting more gaming news in the following days along with more pictures of our 2016 E3 trip!
Thank you Steemers!
