It's not even about playing 'Professionally'. 99% of gamers don't play pro. It's about the people who have a normal (not high-end) PC who want to play a fun game of their genre on a nice big screen instead of a small 5" crappy one. Also being able to buy the better gear if you don't want to waste time crafting it, finding it or earning the funds for it could be huge. Like I said before, people could spend fortunes playing some addictive games over the years.
Just hope they make this game addictive and fun and it will succeed. Some of the best games ever had crappy graphics. Some of the WORST games had ultra-high graphics and still nobody played them.
Yea i mean it all banks on this first version. I think if you can get the competitive version balanced properly, and it's fun to beat an opponent the door is wide open for possibilities with in game purchases for a campaign mode, The team seems to be on a pretty tight deadline for this first strictly competitive version, but if it's successful this game could expand in so many different ways. Story growth in particular, spin off games of a different genre. So many games get successful, and then generate huge profits outside of the original game.
Angry birds is an optimistic of an example, but the amount of revenue they've generated from what was a free game shows why BTV is so attractive for the value of NXC. They made a fortune from the game, and the spin off versions, they made a fortune in merchandising, and they made a fortune for selling the movie rights.
Here is the thing about people calling calling this a coin worthless. Their whole argument banks on the idea that this coin is just a ETH copy. That there isn't anything innovative about NXC. They don't account for the possibilities after the original release of the game. This could easily spawn into an entire franchise. If you create a successful game its incredibly valuable.
I was a little disrespectful earlier when I explained why this game wasn't just another Android app game, but lets examine one of those run of the mill android games...Clash of clans is made by supercell. They make a lot of run of the mill, basic, in-game purchase, shitty app games. They couldn't be a big company could they i mean those games can't really make money, right?
Supercell, generated $2.3 billion in revenue and profited $964 million last year. The $5.5 billion-dollar gaming company is worth more than Evernote, Eventbrite, and BuzzFeed combined
Each
EMPLOYEE at Supercell is worth more than $5 million. yes, not owner, every single
EMPLOYEE is worth 5 million dollars.
The people who attack this coin are missing the best part about this coin. The gaming industry is massive, and it's growing rapidly everyday. You don't need to be anything special to have a massive hit, your game just needs to be free, and decently fun to play.
Clash of clans is a trash game
Boom Beach is a trash game
Clan royale is a trash game
I don't even know people who play these games, but supercell is making Billions of dollars off of them. I tried clash of clans for a day, and deleted it, because it was that boring. Anyone trashing what this coin based off the tech is completely ignorant of what the BTV team is trying to do.
When BTV releases the open beta in a few months this coin is going to enter a global market that is has been growing at an explosive rate for the past 30 years. it's not a niche market coin like almost all of the crap on polo. If the game has any kind of success this coin is in for a wild ride.
