Yumerium: An Appreciation of The Life and Work of Gamers
“Video games are bad for you? That’s what they said about rock-n-roll” — Shigeru Miyamoto
Do you remember the very first video game you played? Steet Fighter, Super Mario or Mortal Kombat? We probably really dumped a lot of time into those games. You would not remember why you were holding a controller, sitting in front of a video screen, or how you even got there.
Most of us must ever heard of Ragnarok. The first and still popular free-to-play online game in the world. An unforgettable experience when you play hard from increasing experience points gained by defeating monsters, to increasing recovery rate of HP and SP. It is just not about money, it’s about pride and satisfaction. Gamers actually work hard to play games but are they fairly rewarded? Do they know what is expected of them and what they can expect from the games’ publisher?
And the evil thing about current free-to-play game is how big game developers have turned their so-called “free games” into harvesting user data. They actually know everything about their gamers, where they live, their hobby, their favorite team, their family and almost everything they do. It’s like Facebook data breach but for games.
Currently, the gamers left unprotected and unrewarded!
Yumerium comes with a solution where users are spending time engaged with the game and get rewarded for it. Yumerium believes that it is right to appreciate and acknowledge all those who helped games become popular around the world; the gamers.
Yumerium is a gaming community where gamers share their experiences with other gamers which is a true form of viral marketing. Gamers will be properly compensated with YUM tokens for such efforts. Game developers can set up rewards for the gamers with Yumerium as they want, e.g. giving out YUM for watching promotional videos, sharing links to social networks, leaving review for their game, etc. Through this reward system, gamers will be more incentivized to participate in the community proactively.
YUM, Yumerium Token is a gaming token that can be earned by playing, sharing, and reviewing games and spent in any game that supports Yumerium.
Yumerium is creating a blockchain-based game ecosystem to allow transparency and security in a fair reward system, with no middleman which will decrease fees and provide stabilized environment for gamers and developers. Yumerium can also act as a decentralized payment system, which allows for the transfer of funds across borders at virtually no costs and without external control.
As of today, Yumerium has released a portfolio of online games and own Owns 29+ VR Arcade locations in Korea(VR Plus).
