With the rise of the dApp, and games booming on the STEEM blockchain, I can see an interesting opportunity arising, if the players involved are open to it.
Imagine this: I set up my own website, called STEEM Powered Gaming. On it, I have a forum system powered by @tokenBB for all my users. Also on it is a franchise version of some of the Steem games out there. @steemmonsters sell me a franchise of there game. I could host a rebranded (maybe I want to call my version MonsterWars). My franchise could be branded differently, but run as a seperate front end to @steemmonsters. Say Monsterwars - powered by Steemmonsters. Maybe I am no good as a developer, but an awesome marketer and could bring lots of new users in, to the benefit of both myself and steemmonsters. Rather than someone building their own copy of the original game, the developers benefit from royalties payed by their franchisee's.
Then I launch my own franchise version of @drugwars on my website and branding but again linking back to the original. Then I launch a franchise of some of the other games that I am sure are coming to STEEM. All these franchises, on my website, powered by the original developers, with a revenue sharing arrangement. I could share some of my profits with my players through an SMT, one STEEM Gaming token across multiple games, and the tokenbb powered forum.
The original game developers and backers would benefit from a royalty type payment, further monetizing their work and boosting the player base and economies of scale for their platform. Entrepreneurs would have an opportunity to build a STEEM Business, that they can market and grow from outside the current STEEM user base. STEEM price would benefit from more users, players buying STEEM to improve their gaming experience (and potentially income). And We all benefit from growth and opportunity on the STEEM Blockchain.
What do you all think?
@steemmonsters @drugwars @tokenbb @oracle-d @steemba and any one else that may be interested.
