Really all you need is a team to get it done. I just saw an announcement a few days ago that people are offering money to set-up tribes on Hive. They obviously want some tokens when you kick it off, but they're willing to front some/all the upfront costs.
I don't want to see different ones I want to see one awesome one that is done right and people that come together that build the value of the token by developing different use cases like Leo is doing.
I think the issue with the gaming community on Hive is it is so fragmented with different smaller communities.
If it was easy everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't make a good investment. The fact that it is going to be so much work is why I think it would be a good investment over the long term if done right.
The whole “we are going have a gaming token and you will be able to exchange it for games on steam” was already tried on Steem.
I don’t even recall the name of those people or project. That would be the place to start. If I recall they did some shady things and lost their trust with the community.
I don't think that's a good idea either. I don't know if I talked about it in the article, but it would be better to create an NFT somehow for the game or the game key.
It would be pretty cool if you could check that game or game key to see if it's been used or it gets deleted somehow once it's claimed.
Regardless I think the gaming tribe would be more successful partnering with blockchain games. Using the "gaming token" to get a unique Splinterlands card or 10% off purchases one weekend using the "game token" on Dcity I think would be the way to go. Figuring out how to use the gaming community to help advertise and promote blockchain gaming is definitely the better way to go in the short term in my opinion.
Outside of Hive there are very few blockchain games that even knew what Hive is. Even those that do almost none of them even want to post content here.
Until that change it’s a moot point.
For it to change more people need to be doing. Talk is cheap.
Agreed, but if you can say hey I have this community of x people that plays blockchain games, can we work some sort of deal where they get discounted products for one weekend or one day and we can make a post to help promote your game / product? It cost them nothing other than some profit and even if only 1% of people stay from Hive on the game they come out ahead.
You have to build relationships which is another thing I'm writing about now. Once that relationship starts, more people become interested in both projects and start to use both.
Other things you could do is have writing contests that could help smaller games get guides for free.
There are a lot of opportunities, it just needs the right person that has the time to bring it all together. It could easily become as successful as Leofinance if there was someone like khaleelkazi leading the community and people around to help make take it to the top.
After all there are a lot of leaders on Hive that are already driving different gaming initiatives at one time or another, it would just be if someone could help bring them together to grow a single cause.
What you fail to understand is this is Hive. There was never the “right” person. There was the person who just did. Endless people every day post ideas that they themselves are not willing to do to make them happen. If they are not willing to do it themselves then those ideas are not going anywhere.
Hey now, I helped start the USA community.
I just don't have the time and energy to do something like that again. I got involved in too much and stretched too thin and super burned out.
I agree though, the only way something would change is if I did something about it, but this was more of a daydream post that I was just writing down thoughts.
I'm still chasing my dream of being a blogger/content creator :P
Also, I don't think we always need developers coming on the platform and posting updates. Don't get me wrong, that would be very awesome, I would much rather users of the gaming tribe make those posts and then that would be justification to get that developer to come be active on the platform and engage more with their community.
There is already a mountain of posts on blockchain games here.
Most devs don't care. Everyone wants something free from them. They want you to pay $300 to get into early access to so you can create content about their game.
Even when you have 20 gamers all posting about their game. They are no where to be seen.
They want the big YouTuber or Twitch Streamer.
