I'm pondering the ramifications of tying the Etherbots markets to the Gods Unchained markets and wondering if anybody considered the efficacy of that marketing strategy.

From the Graziadio Business Review:

"....The historical trend indicates that tie-in arrangements that can be supported by arguments of efficiency factors that improve the company’s bottom line without harming social or consumer welfare may well stand on firm legal footing with positive support from economic considerations. However, tie-in arrangements that cannot be supported adequately by these arguments may expose the company to costly legal action, especially when the company is a dominant player in the tying good. This is accentuated by the fact that such legal action is subject to triple damages.

All product arrangement decisions must consider the typical risk/return factors inherent in all business decisions. In this case it is particularly important for the manager to fully evaluate a potential tie-in arrangement, consider the legal and economic environment, anticipate future financial benefits and costs, and minimize the risk exposure for the company." (Graziadio Business Review, Volume 11, Issue 2, 2008)

Any thoughts?

I have cards....game is fun.  Will it take off?  Hopefully.  The F2P/play to earn players are annoying though....they're too good and they just keep getting better. Playing GU is how they pay their bills so they're always playing.
With a player base of only a few thousand (assuming) it will be harder to get matched up with people of your skill level. Hopefully once they launch the full game the player base will expand enough to make you match up with more similarly-skilled people.

Well, they did say they haven't yet enabled forging to Diamond/Gold etc. which I assume is because this is sort of an alphaforging where we'll report bugs if there are any (obviously there is) and they'll fix it and later enable others.

We can only forge Meteorite now.
Did you lose the cards too?

No, is just jammed few times and took flux just once. It will be lot's of work to fuse diamond legendaries in the future. I wonder what they will be worth, because you can't just get lucky and buy them like in ico, and because of flux, bots aren't dumping cards to markets. They will be super rare.

How are bots dumping cards?
I assume it's not easy to make an AI that fast which is capable of winning against real opponents.
You don't get FLUX without winning.

Flux is here!

You have to have to 2 cards in order to be able to sell them, they need to be forged  Cheesy

And seems to be slow and buggy process too because once when i tried to fuse i lost some flux but fusing never happened. I reported it already but got no answer.

This game is another mass adoption try with blockchain based.

And even though it did not have millions of players,only about ten thousand,it have generated nice revenue,this is important for sustaining development.
And I have bought some cards,good luck.


How many players does this game currently have? I saw a review https://revain.org/blockchain-games/gods-unchained, but not much information was disclosed, and certainly not a word about the number of players. I wouldn't want to start playing a Gods Unchained that has a small community and doesn't increase.

https://unchainedstats.com

Unchainedstats say I'm ranked at spot 1592
I'm level 43
I think it's impossible to be less than 4000

You can find out if you sign up and check your rank at unchainedstats before you play a game.
You should be ranked with all those that didn't play a game yet.

I haven't seen them releasing any numbers on active players, and it surely depends on the weekday. Only thing we can be sure of that there are currently 10574 card holder addresses, and that number has been raising very slowly. Too slowly imho.

https://gu.cards/tournament-tickets

It says there's 167 tickets available, weren't they all sold last year?
And it doesn't state the price anywhere, it just connects to MetaMask which refuses the connection because my wallet is empty  Cheesy

Isn't that a just an old third party site? I am thinking that they just forgot to delete that page. Also it wanted over 0.2 eth for fees when i clicked that so i am not going to investigate any further. Safest way is the trading in the official gu client or in tokentrove.

Hm, I don't know. Seems like there's too much work put in it to be 3rd party, the design is almost the same and you buy cards here
https://gu.cards/buy-cards

Don't think a third party would put in so much effort, but yeah, they confirmed on discord the tournament passes are sold out.
Don't know what's up with the site o.o

I wouldn't get far in the tourny anyways since I just started playing  Cheesy

I see that there were some problems with the activation, counter is still stuck on 95%. Well i am still happy if we'll get trading going by christmas. I really think that this could be much larger thing then cryptokitties with all those mega prizes in tournaments

They just did some brilliant lightning fast thinking marketing. Their largest competitor Hearthstone banned their top player for supporting Hong Kong protests and took away his prize money.
Gods Unchained tweeted this as response.
I wondered why was it that there was suddenly huge amount of new discord members on that day. This must be the reason.

gods unchained is becoming more and more popular recently,may surpass cryptokitties,and become the first blochchain based mass adoption game.
and many big VCs supported it,this is also a good signal.

trying to play today,have fun.

It's pretty obvious to me when i have played this a lot now and seen the community on discord, with no shortage on players and play to earn model, that this will surpass every collectable game on the blockchain.
Only thing slowing that process for now is the fact you have to install a client and hunt for the beta key.
When they have either ability to play in a browser or an app you can download on your phone, this wil blow up so hard like nothing before it.
