The Steemit Gaming Community (SteemGC or SGC) was founded by @strawhat 11 days ago.
The original post is here - https://steemit.com/gaming/@strawhat/announcing-steemgamingcommunity-a-group-for-gamers-on-steam
So far 41 Steemians have joined the steam group! The group is growing and the gamers here on Steemit now have a place to have fun and play various games with fellow Steemians.
You can join the steam group here - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steemgamingcommunity/
The Logo
This is the 1920x1080 image which can be used for stream, video and post thumbnails and is free to use by anyone. It will represent our group and you can find a foxy Steemian gamer just by looking at his logo!
This is some amateur work by me and my sister, but hopefully it serves it's purpose until a better logo is made!
The small icons for Steam profiles and other ones will be ready in a day or two as well.
Future plans for the Steem Gaming Community
The Steem Gaming Community is not only meant for casual gameplay with your buddies. Sure, casual is fun, but there needs to be some extravaganza! This is where competitive gaming comes to play.
Tournaments
Steemians will be able to form teams with each other, practice and compete against fellow gamers for a shot at the title. There will be ladders like 1v1 matches. Players could even face each other by putting STEEM or SBD on the line!
Website for stats tracking
This would be most beneficial, as gamers could track their own progress and compete for something like the top player award (for example, a team which has the most wins at the end of the month) for a certain prize.
Streams & videos
I will also be making video compilations and montages about the Steemit Gaming Community. Speaking of videos, I will start working on a trailer about the group and future plans soon as well, which I expect to attract more gamers with!
The even more distant future plans
This would take lots of time and effort, but I would love to see pro gaming teams forming out of the Steemit community. It might be very unlikely, but given enough time I think it's possible to form highly skilled teams for games like CS:GO or League of Legends. This would lead to competing under the flag of Steem in tournaments worldwide and making Steem popular in the gaming and E-Sports communities! Steem itself would be a great sponsorship model.
As of right now, we are working on getting private CS:GO servers ready for the sole purpose of playing with fellow gamers in the group! As the community grows, more ideas will come to realization and I can only expect it to snowball from there.
Join the Steem Gaming Community now and ready yourself for some fun and action!
