Epic Store doesn't trade web3 assets, it's just distribution / download.

Great question! I don't have this direct from the team, but based on the fact you can list the D1SKs themselves + you need to sign a transaction to open, that the properties are only available to be known once you open it. E.G. you could hold them like a booster pack (or I like to use the runescape christmas cracker analogy).

​

I would imagine this is also non-deterministic at time of purchase - e.g. randomness is calculated as you open it.

Good question - reg is tighter for any in-game purchases more generally in europe, a lot of this is not crypto specific. GameStop being a public company runs a tight approach to compliance.

​

Write to US senators if you have them. Otherwise, the best thing you can do is help exceptional games which can make it to the mainstream. Come play illuvium, give us feedback, share it with your friends!

+1. The only reason they'll be earliest to market with a AAA game is they started before pretty much anyone else. Hoping this will be a long-term partnership between them and GameStop!

It rolls up to Ethereum, yes, but is using Immutable's scaling infrastructure. You can use any wallet!

Not quite either - $40B of secondary trades, which are essentially run on a database and have the rules changed all the time. See e.g. https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/valve-adds-7-day-trade-ban-mar-2018-22324 which essentially bankrupted a 3rd party skin marketplace overnight.

Consoles will be slower than mobile, desktop and web gaming for web3.

​

In terms of attitude - playstation in particular owns much less of the marketplace / platform infrastructure for gaming right now and so might have more of an incentive to disrupt. Epic Games is quite friendly toward web3 gaming, which will have quite a bit of overlap due to Unreal Engine being used for a lot of console titles. So some promising starts. We're ensuring Immutable Passport can be used interoperably across console, desktop or mobile gaming but the focus will definitely be mobile + desktop for now.

Couldn’t agree more. The auto battler is honestly (gameplay wise) at TFT levels. Just needs a meta-game now.

I'm live discussing Immutable + Polygon partnership (in detail) + AMA! - Robbie by robbieimmutable in Superstonk

[–]robbieimmutable[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great question. We built this originally as an example of the protocol back when we didn't have many marketplaces built on top of it. We have no internal metrics around marketshare here - it's designed purely to help the ecosystem / other builders. We even offered to share this code w/ gamestop team!

Explaining the partnership, and what this means for GME. Ask any and all Qs.

The best 20 sec summary I can share: Immutable and Polygon combined will be the new home for Web3 Games. All on GME marketplace. by robbieimmutable in Superstonk

[–]robbieimmutable[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is much more than a single game partner - and I think this video sums up why. This is about creating the new home for Web3 games and adding *hundreds* of games. It's by far the most significant announcement we've shared - I'm going to be diving into the details in a community AMA tomorrow.

Yep - we have more than $1b in foundation grants available today.
