Trooper — Joe the gamer.
This is what the average gamer faces arriving in Cryptolandia.
In order to make it easy to understand why Trooper exists, here is a list of problems and barriers that most of the gamers who are transiting to PTE/Web3 games are facing and which the Trooper ecosystem is designed to overcome.
A solution is not appreciated until the original problem is made clear.
Here is Gamer Joe’s saga.
Joe has been a gamer since he was thinking, first the Gameboy and the N64, on to Pc to Xbox and PlayStation, now mostly on mobile games.
Joe experienced gaming from the consumer side all his life, having to buy games, in game items or currencies, skins or even help. None of these could be transferred to other games or use cases, not even the track record of the gamers was of importance.
All the games of the last decades have been focused on corporate revenue rather than generating value for gamers.
Joe’s gaming environment has never being gamer focused, and he would never have imagined earning from playing.
All this is changing while reading. Actually, it is re-changing, since it had a big momentum with the creation of sticky games. It is shifting to Decentralization, and to shared economies. Blockchain technology is a brand new environment for games and gamers.
Gamers in the past were not central but now they are, games do not cost money anymore, and are even structured for gamers to generate revenue.
Gamers earn while playing.
Joe, beginning to be aware of the current situation, decides to start his transition to web3 games, also called Play-To-Earn. Similar to Joe, another 2 billion gamers and thousands of game studios are making this life changing transition.
“Where to start” is now the main question.
Joe goes down the rabbit hole…
But Joe does not have a wallet yet. New words, new tech, new memes! Joe is disoriented which makes him ripe for scammers.
Joe discovers PTE and follows the influencers that started him on the track to earning from games, and decides to dive deeper into it. One of the first barriers he encounters is that wallet tech is a nightmare and he even thought for a moment that he was going to carry a crypto wallet in his pocket.
….He leaves the blockchain environment…
…Once walleted up, he faces the need to buy 3 Axis infinity, which in the best of times was at least $300 each, now $3.And how do you think he could get into the right cryptocurrency to actually be able to buy it? He can’t afford this as an average teenager.
…He leaves the blockchain environment…
All things going well up to now and maybe finding more user-friendly games, some of which even provide starters wallets, he starts playing, and after saving some winnings and prizes he starts to like how it feels… of course he gets used to it, until his tokens crash.
…He leaves the blockchain environment…
Gamers go on, come what may. The games Gamenomics/Ponzinomics could probably repeat, but let’s focus on the next barrier.
Finding genuine friends, and being able to share one’s gaming experiences would be great, but Joe is playing alone, he would like to invite gamers from other communities to join his fun, but he finds no tools to make this happen.
…He gets bored and leaves the game or the blockchain environment…
Further down the rabbit hole he finds out about Guilds, through links in Subreddits and Discord, and he joins one random guild, neither he nor the guild have dedicated tools to prove track record.
After a couple of months of dedicating effort and time, the guild could vanish or rug the community, and once again he does not have any security. He is defenseless.
…He leaves the blockchain environment…
And if he does not leave and instead finds friends in the newly discovered metaverse, he starts having fun and wants to get professional coaching to get better at some game or other, and even get sponsorships later on.
Once again he finds the lack of necessary platform architecture to run his gaming career as a business. High entry fees are another barrier.
…He leaves the blockchain environment…
But if he does not, and he makes it to “PRO GAMER” or gaming influencer, he will face yet more inconveniences like finding a job as a gamer, or not having a track record of all his gaming achievements, or a trusted way of handling business with brands and backers.
…He leaves the blockchain environment…
But being tough he starts making a living from gaming and now he needs insurance and healthcare, or Gomad infrastructure.
Trooper is Joe’s means of reinventing himself.
What is a Gomad?
It is a traveling game star. Gaming-Nomad.
Dedicated solutions are needed to keep Joe and the other billion gamers and game studios in the blockchain environment.
Trooper is designed to provide solutions to all these problems and what is much more to provide a lucrative economic activity to everybody anywhere of any age.
And where does Joe go from here? Stay with us… in Trooper’s next blog post.
