What benefits can SoG and its assets obtain from FoW joining CounterParty
It is a different project, which will compete with SoG for the gamers' attention, time & money
won't it?
FoW will be using a platform built by EDS and IndieSquare for their digital assets, I think that should bring a lot of attention to the aforementioned companies as well as SoG.
I'm not 100% sure about this because details are scarce for the moment but if FoW is using the same platform which SoG uses for their assets it makes sense to have some cross game assets too.
Also consider FoW is well known and has over 100K users from what I read, so in my opinion this is not merely FoW joining Counterparty, but them using specific tools to manage their game assets which are going to be digital for the first time. It is currently a physical TGC game with no game app, and they will be releasing an app in September.
FoW is a different project, and have their own players but if they decided to use tools built by a "competitor" to go digital I think it is a good sign.
If any of these players look up EverdreamSoft or IndieSquare they'll definitely come across SoG. Not saying all of them will want to get into SoG but maybe a few will.
They are different games with different ways to play.
Will another popular game join the bandwagon after this collaboration proves successful? I really hope so.
Will it attract more people to SoG? I think so.
Will it bring the BCY price up? It did already, I can imagine when this goes out in the wild.
