How the gamer can in uence on the development of the game Games appear on alternative markets, which are created by using the blockchain tech The subscription fee is distributed among publishers of games based on the TSG rating (Time Spent In Game / In-game-playtime) and directly a ects the development of "playable" projects. New monetization models allow the gamer to get access for an adequate fee to the large number o f games that can be sold as a second-hand 12 01 02 03

Focus №1: virtual assets REAL PROPERTY RIGHTS MARKETPLACES CRYPTOCURRENCIES Assets in games get real property rights and become freely convertible. You can sell them to anyone, because the Blockchain-based tech can track all ownership changes. There are new marketplaces and payments systems for the sale and exchange of virtual property. We get a fundamentally di erent level of con dence, security and transparency for in-game exchange, sales and the economy because now it is powered by Blockchain tech. 19

Focus №2: games FUNDS/MONEY ENGINES AND TECHS OPEN APIs VR is the development driver not only for “o chain” games, but also for blockchain based games. The decision about what to create and how to distribute rule by the players. Direct investments and crowd nding now supported by owning the real money. Technologies give new opportunities for development. Instead of renting expensive cloud services, some of the development can be done with the help of private decentralized networks. 20

Focus №3: new opportunities E-SPORTS NEW WAYS OF MONETIZATION GAMBLING INTEGRATION Indie developers get independence from major intermediaries and get fundamentally other levels of (low) costs. Monetization of games can be fully realized through alternative mechanics (no in-apps, no adv), which provides tremendous creative possibilities. The world of online games closely integrates with the neighboring fast-growing market - the gambling market. The potential volume of the segment is hundreds of millions. 22
