Overview
​
The number of gamers in the world exceeds 2 billion. This number is higher than the population of China today. The competitions in game industry gain almost the same status as traditional sport contests. The winner’s awards reach 25 billions of dollars and the internet audience who watches it online is more than hundred or thousands of users.
As for the game sales, the majority of forthcoming games have an immense circulation from the very beginning. For instance, Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 earned more than $500 million in a release day (The release date was at the end of 2012.) In two weeks, game sales reached a billion dollars. This scenario is specific for game industry. Comparing to the film industry where none of the movies ever reach this high profit within this short timeline. Avatar by James Cameron needed two more days comparing to Call of Duty to reach the same revenue.
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are a relatively new type of digital asset that are a popular topic of conversation in the blockchain world today. Unlike fungible tokens, like bitcoin and ethereum, where one token is indistinguishable from another, NFTs are designed to represent ownership of a digital asset that is unique and scarce.
With the overall popularity of video games and the idea that NFTs could replace the in-game virtual items, many video game developers started to look at this new opportunity to attract game players around the idea of real ownership of their virtual assets. Furthermore, as a reaction to the trending market, many protocol chains dedicated hundreds of millions of dollars of investment to NFTs and video games.
NFTs in blockchain games are not yet an extensive ecosystem in terms of trading volume. However, there is significant interest and investment to create the next video game hit that uses blockchain technology. Entire player-driven economies can be created and facilitated via NFTs and the possibilities are expansive.
The same applies to the Global Anime Ecosystem. Even though independent creators have enough talent and creativity, they often lack funds, hence our Incubation strategy. The Anime market system is pretty unfair - most of the money made from sales goes to publishers, digital distribution platforms, and marketing. And, in case the content developers are in need of funding for their next project, they will be obliged to give away their equity, commit to a single publishing platform, or in some cases even sign off their intellectual property, diminishing their earning potential.
In a nutshell, the current situation is as follows. The market for digital goods is large and growing fast. Video games are already north of a $140 billion market, Anime $23.56 billion and tokenized consumer products are a $1.8 trillion market and growing. Indie game development is booming as a result of an apparent creative drain in major studios. Therefore, it’s safe to say that a number of key industry trends are converging to make the development of a breakthrough game crowdfunding platform possible.
