RAWG is an online service for players and game databases of all popular platforms. It's like IMDb, but for games. RAWG's main source of income is direct mail and the promotion of goods and services from partners. You can also sync RAWG accounts with Steam, PSN, Xboxx Games Store, App Store, Google Play, GOG and Nintendo Game Store. RAWG will help users find new games using the proposed system. The system is based on large blockchain data.

RAWG aims to become something like the IMDb of video games. That is to say, a place where we can find the most complete and detailed game database possible, from which we can discover new titles, discuss about our favorite games and get recommendations. This may or may not work for many gamers, but it is an interesting option because it combines all platforms in one place. Those of us who love video games probably play on more than one console or device, and on Steam you're not going to discover Switch games, nor on Xbox Live what's trendy on the PSN.

Its creators point out that in the world of books we have things like Goodreads, for cinema and series we have IMDb, music has services like Spotify, but in the world of videogames each platform has its own shop and recommendations system. Sony doesn't know your preferences in PC games, nor does Microsoft know which games you like best on the Switch. RAWG seeks to fill that gap by taking your experience into account through all the devices you use to play. This year they want to double their database and reach 100,000 titles by 2018.

Its creators began working on RAWG in November 2016, and in May 2017 they were launched in closed alpha. They are currently open to the public and already have a database of more than 52,000 video games and 15,000 creators. In addition, RAWG wants to create a blockchain-based ecosystem that allows players to receive real benefits for their skills. This is expected to encourage players to play and submit unique content to the platform. Rewards will be given in the form of Karma, and can be converted into chips. The more Karma a user has, the higher their level of experience on the platform and the more features they will have.

The RAWG token, also called RAWG, will govern the currency on the platform and will have the following usage cases: First, it will be used to request ads on the platform. Second, players will win RAWG tokens for achievements in the game and tokens can be used to purchase items (such as wireless headphones or premium passes for a game) on the platform. In addition, game experts will be invited to consult with live audiences and receive payments on RAWG.

RAWG raised 1 million euros during its round. Its goal is to raise an additional $10 million during its public sale (the cap is set at $2 million). If your sale symbol runs out completely, there will be a total of 866,666,667 RAWG chips.
