Sgame Pro ICO — Backed by PewdiePie, VanossGaming, Digital Bros
What is SgamePro?
According to their website: SgamePro is “the first mobile game aggregator built on the blockchain that allows users to mine crypto-tokens simply by playing the world’s most popular games.”
This means that players will be able to earn assets as they play games.
Sounds too good to be true? Maybe for people outside the cryptosphere AKA people who don’t know the capabilities of cryptocurrencies. However, people like me who have researched about this for a while are astounded with the limitlessness of this technology even though most of them are used solely for investment purposes today.
What does SgamePro do?
Sgame Pro will allow players to be rewarded with a virtual token (this token can be traded with other assets in exchanges soon, potentially even with fiat currency), while simply playing the world’s most popular mobile games.
Sgame Pro will aggregate the major mobile game publishers into a one-stop-shop gaming platform. In this platorm, players can discover the latest games and challenge other players. Challenge mode will not be limited to multiplayer games though. Sgame Pro knows that 78% of the mobile gaming market is single player yet most revenues come from multiplayer games. In line with this, they will develop a new disruptive gaming mode called Asynchronous Multiplayer: a mode that allows players to challenge other players in single player games.
Sgame Pro will solve a lot of problems faced by mobile game players, publishers, influencers, and merchants today.
Sgame Pro Solutions for Players
•Single player games lack social interactions
Solution: Asynchronous Multiplayer allows player to play single player games with PvP option ranging from 1v1 to 1v100.
•Advertising provides a negative user experience
Solution: Unlike the games that exist today, the Sgame Pro platform will allow players to earn a portion of the advertisement revenue in while they play games.
• Limited non-invasive promotional techniques for new games.
Solution: Sgame Pro provides a one-stop-shop for their favourite games and new game announcements from the world’s best Publishers.
•High cost of digital products that players have to pay with fiat money.
Solution: Players don’t have to spend fiat money anymore because they can use their earnings while playing to purchase digital products or in-app purchases.
•Rewards are game specific
Solution: Rewards/earnings from one game can be used to purchase products on other games using the SGM currency that will be used in the entire Sgame Pro platform.
•Crypto mining barriers to entry
Solution: SGM will utilize the innovative Proof of Play protocol. What makes it more interesting is that instead of getting rewards from mining cryptocurrencies — which may cost a lot — you get rewards by playing.
Sgame Pro Solution for Game Publishers
•Users acquisition and retention. Publishers struggle and spend a lot of money to reach large numbers of new users and keep them engaged.
Solution: Sgame Pro gathers many players (probably tens of millions) in one place: their platform so publishers don’t have to struggle or spend too much.
•Publishers with freemium games are incentivized to use invasive advertising and force players to buy digital goods just to profit adequately
Solution: It is human nature for players to usually not want to spend money that comes from their pocket. Something about intangible assets just doesn’t feel right to spend money on for some players. However, if players earn money while playing, then they are more likely open to the idea of spending it in-game.
•Find new revenue streams
Solution: Publishers will receive part of the fee generated by Challenges.
Sgame Pro Solution for Influencers
•Today, the main source of income from influencers are commercial endorsement and promotion due to relatively low income from streaming on youtube and twitch. They have to minimize this strategy though because they might lose followers if they promote products too much especially if a particular product has nothing to do with their games.
Solution: Sgame Pro offers an attractive referral system providing influencers the opportunity to monetize their following without compromising their image.
Solution: Sgame Pro offers an attractive referral system providing influencers the opportunity to monetize their following without compromising their image.
•Follower churn rampant; this is when a subscriber stops following an influencer
Solution: Every referral will be rewarded with part of the SGM earned by the newly introduced Player, without time limit and regardless of whether the player remains a follower or not.
Sgame Pro Solution for Merchants
•Online marketing is verycostly
Solution: Sgame Pro provides Merchants with unprecedented economies of scale and offers the total reach of multiple Publishers all at once.
•Audience targeting is almost impossible without high quality player data
Solution: Sgame Pro generates comprehensive high quality user data through Player engagement on the Platform. Player profiles will be cross-game, providing significantly more granular Player targeting capabilities.
Roadmap
With all these solutions it is very likely, in my opinion for Sgame Pro to become big in the future. Here is their roadmap:
As you can see, this project wasn’t rushed. The founders and developers seem to be taking their time to properly build the ecosystem.
Big-time Early Adopters
They also invested their time and resources to get big-time publishers in their platform to speed up adoption. Some of the first publishers on Sgame Pro are:
• Digital Bros- 14mm active users
• 505 Games- 8mm active users
• 34BigThings- 7mm active users
• Collin Lane AB- 5mm active users
Sgame Pro is also affiliated with famous gaming influencers like:
• Pewdiepie- 62M fan base
• VanossGaming- 23M fan base
• Markiplier- 20M fan base
• DanTDM- 19M fan base
• Jacksepticeye- 19M fan base
• Tweakbox- 10M fan base
• Marzia Bisognin- 7M fan base
• Ninja- 11M fan base
SGM
SGM is the token that will be used as a medium of exchange in the entire platform. This token will be the reward for playing, payment for advertising, and everything in between.
Furthermore, since SGM is a real cryptocurrency, it can also be traded in crypto exchanges for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Therefore, this token indirectly has real-world value as long as this platform exists.
More info on the SGM token
SGM is a utility token based on the ERC-20 standard, enabling Sgame Pro to fully leverage the Ethereum ecosystem and easily integrate with the existing infrastructure
Total Supply: 350,000,000 tokens
Conclusion
In my opinion, Sgame Pro is a very promising ICO and possibly a disruptive gaming platform. I am not a financial adviser so I cannot recommend investments but at least in my opinion, this is worth a shot. I might invest myself.
