Why would a user use Gameflip marketplace that is purely focussed on games, instead of using a marketplace that would sell everything?
Thank you for question. There are lots of platforms where people can buy different goods but unfortunately there are no such marketplace for gamers. Gaming industry is growing very fast and there is huge demand for it.
The Gameflip marketplace platform has been transacting gaming digital goods since the beginning of 2016 with millions of dollars processed across 2 million gamers. We fully understand the risks associated with managing digital goods transactions and the strategy to scale the marketplace rapidly. Our plan is to enhance our platform to provide the highest levels of transparency and security by implementing blockchain and smart contracts.
thnx for the reply. I understand gaming is a big industry, but I still dont see the need to have a marketplace specifically for gaming. Why not buy your games/hardware on a marketplace where you can
also buy a book or dvd on the same order?
Actually i don't think you know how big is gaming market. I want to quote from their whitepaper.
According to Newzoo's latest study, 2.2 billion gamers will
generate $108.9 billion in game revenues in 2017. This represents an increase of $7.8 billion, or 7.8%,
from the year before. The growth will continue, with 2020 revenues projected at $128.5 billion.
There is a huge market but there is not a really good Marketplace for trading digital items. There is a big gap in a huge market. I can't even think about how big can gameflip be. They have a amazing vision, i can say.
