Announcing GamerSpeak Play2Earn Gaming Guild
An Introduction for a New Crypto Gaming Guild with a Focus on Community and Education
Introduction
GamerSpeak, with 7+ years of building community-first gaming content, is pivoting into the world of NFT/Crypto Games. Our team wants to utilize our experience of building positive communities, educational content, and governance of AAA games to help gamers from around the world build financial independence and knowledge.
Our History
Before the GamerSpeak Play-to-Earn Gaming Guild was established, our team and company was co-founded by our CEO, Chad Kihm, and our CTO, Matt Ortiz. It was a small company, called App Scrolls, that created content for the #1 Mobile Real-Time Strategy/4x Castle Building Game at the time, Game of War.
The content was focused on managing your resources, understanding the strategy of the game, and effectively defending or attacking players who have spent thousands of dollars to build their accounts.
Through the years, Chad Kihm and Matt Ortiz expanded their team to a staff of 20+ individuals. The company, App Scrolls, evolved into GamerSpeak, where they specialized in building healthy and growing gaming communities in Discord, Line, and other Social Media platforms.
Additionally, they’ve built professional relationships with giants of the Mobile Gaming Industry including Machine Zone, Netmarble, Netmarble F&C Inc., and BebopBee Inc. Some of the games they’ve built communities and created content for include:
Game of War: Fire Age
Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire
World War Rising
Mobile Strike
Rise of Firstborn (formerly Iron Throne: The First Born)
Lineage 2: Revolution
Summoners War
Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross
Overprime
Travel Crush (formerly What a Wonderful World; a 3-Match Puzzle Game)
Our Mission
GamerSpeak’s mission is to unlock limitless opportunities in the Metaverse. Blockchain games require huge upfront investments to unlock the best opportunities. We want to provide these opportunities to people around the world.
We’ll purchase blockchain gaming assets with large upfront investments, then lend them out to players for free. In exchange, we will take a revenue share of the earnings from the game assets utilized.
Access to these assets will provide a sustainable income for new participants as they gain knowledge, develop skills, and engage with the global metaverse economy.
Additionally, we want to provide scholars, managers, and investors with the education to understand Crypto, NFTs, Digital Assets, and finance. By being a community first DAO, we want our members to excel and build a secure financial future for themselves and/or their families.
Our Promise
The GamerSpeak token will also allow its holders to take an active role in the future governance of the guild. This falls in line with the philosophy that GamerSpeak has adopted since its inception: that player feedback should heavily dictate the direction of the game.
GamerSpeaks’ staff brings a multitude of skills and experience to the world of blockchain/crypto games. Some of these advantages include:
Community and player first perspective; putting the gaming communities’ needs first and being the bridge between gamers and publishers
Hiring, educating, and building community influencers and leaders
Creating digestible, enjoyable, and valuable content to educate millions of players
Helping players in the gaming community articulate their needs to gaming publishers for a better gaming experience for all players
Technical expertise in building fun Discord servers, Discord bots, beautiful community websites, and detailed gameplay guides
Seven of the games we’ve partnered with have reached over $1 billion in revenue; our content for those games reach 300,000+ monthly players and 1,000,000+ monthly pageviews
Why the Change?
From our 7+ years of experience in the gaming industry, we’ve witnessed and been a part of the evolution of gaming; both from a business and a community perspective.
Gaming has evolved from a premium product ($40 to $60 per game), to a Free to Play model with packs and battle passes. GamerSpeak believes that the Play to Earn generation of games is being born in conjunction with Blockchain technology and digital currencies, and that this will be a dominant genre in gaming for many years to come.
Additionally, with many P2E Gaming Guilds and Crypto Games operating on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations and offering their communities Governance through Tokens, it helps drive a community-first approach to make decisions for a game’s development that will better everyone’s experience. And… We’re all about that.
Our Game Projects
Axie Infinity
The NFT Crypto Game we’re primarily investing in is Axie Infinity, a “Pokemon-like” Play-to-Earn game. Axie Infinity has proven to be the Gold-Standard of the Blockchain/NFT/Crypto Game Industry. They’re the leading Crypto Game that has surpassed the market well above other Crypto Games.
Currently, GamerSpeak’s goal is to onboard 10,000 scholars in 2022. Additionally, GamerSpeak has plans to IDO before the end of the year, which will allow GamerSpeak Yield Guild to decentralize ownership of the guild to its stakeholders — especially its scholars.
