The gaming industry is growing rapidly. Its revenues are growing by leaps and bounds: as of 2017, it has already overtaken the film distribution market and even the sports industry. Perhaps the reader will be interested to know who gets the biggest piece of this huge money cake? Maybe the game developers for their hard work? 

 The growing popularity of games is spurred by scientific and technological progress, thanks to which there are all new devices for content consumption: smartphones, game consoles of a new generation, virtual reality glasses. As practice has proven, a person learns better in a playful way. Here is an example – the love of games and kittens not so long ago almost brought down the Ethereum blockchain. For those who do not know – we are talking about the payments of the game CryptoKitties, which in December 2017 amounted to 15% of the total number of transactions. 

 Blockchain is a relatively new and untapped technology, and the rules of the centralized market are currently dictated by large companies. To sell their game, developers have to spend about 50% of revenue for the placement of the game and advertising. This money goes to giant companies such as Google, Apple, Steam, Facebook and many others. Since not all studios can afford it, the market remains a monopoly of major developers.Today we will talk about the EON project, whose goal is to radically change the rules of the game in the market for the common good. 

 EON is a decentralized platform for distributing games on the blockchain, allowing gamers to find new games and play them, as well as communicate with each other. Compared to centralized platforms, EON has many advantages. 

  Here are the main ones:

• accessibility - the platform is open to gamers from all over the globe;
• convenient and fast payment through the use of blockchain;
• using cryptocurrency for payment eliminates the need to convert funds and spend them on legal costs;
• honesty and transparency - all user actions are recorded in the blockchain, which allows you to easily and quickly calculate the effectiveness of marketing strategies;
• the presence of a referral system - gamers will be able to receive a reward for their users;
• game developers will be able to encourage active promoters of their developments;
• the presence of a convenient platform for building a community of gamers, where they can communicate, share game content, let's play and reviews.

As a result, everyone wins:

• developers get a convenient platform that saves time and money;
• gamers get a large selection of cheap and quality games.

Platform tokens will be used for payments between participants. If desired, they can be exchanged for cryptocurrency or Fiat money on exchanges.It is to be hoped that the parasitic intermediaries have saved up some money, because the scheme provides for their exclusion from the money chain. We will survive this as long as all other market participants are well. 

Advantages of the project

 The project innovation is to integrate blockchain technology into the world of mobile game. And this sphere is great for such integration.As early as 2014, the first game based on blockchain demonstrated the success of this alliance.A year later, after the appearance of the Ethereum, it became easier and more convenient to create games on the blockchain and their functionality and gameplay improved. Also, the advantages of the blockchain allow the game to be free, reliable and available, which is ideal for the sphere of mobile games.
After the first generation of blockchain games, the second was created with a more diverse gameplay and an expanded set of functions. It attracts more users and draw their attention for a longer time. 

 

• Payment functions
  Of course, existing game platforms accept almost all currencies, but local authorities in some regions allow for settlement only in local currency. Therefore, developers are forced to contact regional intermediaries for payment, which increases the associated costs in the production of the product and increases its final cost. In addition, games can simply become unavailable to users from any remote regions where such intermediaries don’t exist. In addition, even when placed on a platform, often the payment for your product has to wait for several months, which doesn’t increase the convenience of such a system.
• Dissemination of information about products
  Dissemination of information about products is very expensive for developers. So much so that not everyone can even afford to publish on large platforms and / or an expensive advertising campaign and are lost on the background of larger developers. In addition, game manufacturers don’t have the ability to track their users and therefore don’t know in which market their product is more successful and where to invest more.

 

Investment attractiveness of the EONToken token

 The EON network is a joint product of the startup and Facebook partners Zynga, Facebook and USC GamePipe Lab. Participation in the project of social network Mark Zuckerberg in itself will ensure ICO EON high fees and attract in EONToken even those customers who are far from crypto. Other positive factors for investors:

• Financing the development of an EON platform of $ 5 million by venture capitalists Cherubic Ventures, Feng Li and Wei Guo
• The presence of 200 thousand active subscribers in the game Crypto Alpaka - potential users of the network
• Arrangements with partners to transfer their products to the EON network after launching

• Mid-2018 - integration of the EON token and games, development of the beta version of the EON platform
• Beginning of 2019 - launch of the Internet version of the EON platform
• end of 2019 - launch of the platform version for mobile phones

Conclusion

 The fact that the game industry will only benefit from the appearance of EON, there is no doubt. Simple gamers and developers feed a huge number of intermediaries, the prices of games are growing, and promising beginners are becoming less. The idea of the project is interesting and necessary. The use of blockchain and smart contracts will help to bring the industry to a new level. The project is designed to make life easier for developers and to please gamers with a huge selection of quality games.Among the success of the team – the development and launch of the popular game CryptoAlpaca, which currently has about 1000 active users. At the end of 2018 – beginning of 2019, it is planned to release a mobile and web version of the platform. Of course, investors would be interested to see them before participating in the ICO.Heroes of the review – a young team of developers, struggling to take a place in the sun in the gaming industry. All anything, here only reformers of the market a dime a dozen among whom there are very venerable rivals. Will the team stand the competition? Resource ICOHOLDER, evaluates prospects as"positive".It is clear that the decentralized platform will significantly benefit against the background of the current dominance of monopolists. The subjective assessment of the project is positive, but I would like to see something that would distinguish the guys from the competitors. We hope that they will collect the required amount and will make a revolution in the gaming industry, which is now spoken about by so many people.
