Good
Gaming and ViaOne Services Announce Multi-Year Strategic
Partnership For Integrated Mobile Games Featuring Web3
Integration
KENNETT
SQUARE, PA -- July 26, 2023 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Good
Gaming, Inc. (OTCQB:
GMER) (the "Company"), an innovative brand creating unique
interactive entertainment experiences across the gaming segment
since 2008, is excited to announce its strategic partnership
with ViaOne Services. This partnership will deliver cutting-edge
mobile gaming experiences to the Assist Wireless® and enTouch
Wireless® customer bases, which are operated and managed by ViaOne
Services. Good Gaming will also make its new mobile gaming
experiences available through the Apple App Store® and Google Play™
Store. This innovative collaboration aims to redefine the gaming
landscape by blending highly engaging mobile gaming experiences
with Web3 technology, ushering in a new era of entertainment
opportunities for gamers.
Assist Wireless and enTouch Wireless offer free mobile phones
and discounted wireless phone service to qualifying consumers
through the Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Programs
administered by the Federal Communication Commission. This
essential service provides low-income consumers with access to both
a mobile device as well as essential communication services such as
emergency services, health care, childcare, education, and
potential employers. Assist Wireless and enTouch Wireless will
initially preload up to 15,000 phones per month with a goal to
exceed 100,000+ phones per month for Good Gaming's series of mobile
gaming apps as they are released.
Designed to captivate both casual and core gamers, Good Gaming's
flagship mobile game will launch the beginning of an expansive
multi-year release schedule. The release schedule has been
specifically crafted to provide engaging entertainment while
offering players the chance to explore optional Web3 gaming
components powered by blockchain technology. With a focus on
creating experiences that appeal to a broad demographic, Good
Gaming mobile games will also feature connected intellectual
property components, featuring the MicroBuddies™, Super Craft
Brothers Brawl™, and some special event elements from our other
Minecraft™ experiences.
One of the most appealing features of this initiative will be the
"integrated rewards tree," offering players a wide range of
mini-challenges featuring in-game rewards. In addition to in-game
rewards, our players will have the ability to delve into the world
of Web3 with engaging yet optional opportunities. This
groundbreaking integration aims to transform the gaming experience
by blending the traditional mobile game experience with
cutting-edge blockchain technology to expand the players'
achievement set. This strategic initiative positions Good Gaming at
the forefront of this niche marketplace, solidifying its position
as a pioneering force in next-generation gaming.
The expanded achievement set will allow players the opportunity to
obtain periodic, limited-supply skin drops, which will reward
owners with cosmetics of various levels of rarity, collectability,
and in-game benefits. These exclusive skins will be stored as
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) within the game's unique "vault," acting
as a blockchain wallet. Users with the technical know-how will also
have the option to withdraw their skins to the blockchain, and Good
Gaming will receive royalties from any secondary sales. As a
special bonus for MicroBuddies™
players, particularly those with Divine Buddies, will have access
to rare and exclusive skin drops, which will be periodically
distributed, enhancing the gaming experience for dedicated and
loyal players.
"Our goal is to achieve widespread adoption in the mobile gaming
segment, catering to millions of active gamers and generating
demand for our unique skin drops," explained David Sterling, COO at
Good Gaming Inc. "With our mobile gaming experiences, we aim to
provide a wide range of benefits to mobile gamers, including the
exciting opportunity to participate in dynamic Web3 experiences. We
firmly believe that Web3 opportunities enhance the gaming
experience for participants. Our Web3 integrations will naturally
exist and flourish alongside our traditional mobile games, creating
a seamless union."
David Dorwart, CEO of Good Gaming Inc. and ViaOne Services, stated,
"It's no
secret that mobile gaming has rapidly become the most important
single vertical in gaming. With over 2.5 billion active users and
annual revenues of more than $98 billion, mobile now accounts for
over 50% of global gaming revenue. Utilizing our own brand to
pre-install and launch allows us to go to market quickly and
inexpensively. As we continue to roll this strategy out, Good
Gaming will have the opportunity to pre-install its games on
100,000+ mobile phones per month through Assist and enTouch
Wireless quickly and easily." He also stated, "Our planned
integration of Web3 abilities into our mobile gaming apps will give
players real ownership and full control over their in-game assets
since Web3 introduces a degree of free-market economics to games.
Because players in Web3 games are free to sell and trade their
in-game assets with each other with characters, collectibles,
skins, and more, we can monetize various opportunities in the Web3
gaming space, which has experienced over 2000% growth over the last
12 months."
"When
we talk about 3 billion gamers, ninety-plus percent of those are on
mobile," said
Kevin Chou, Managing Partner at Superlayer. "Having
Web3 games not just be on a browser or on a client download but
really reaching the market where it is, on mobile, is really
important."
This groundbreaking partnership between Good Gaming and ViaOne
Services holds immense promise in revolutionizing the gaming
landscape, fostering innovation, and creating a new realm of
possibilities for both mobile gamers and Web3 enthusiasts alike.
This also creates new revenue stream potential for Lifeline, ACP,
and other mobile wireless providers.
