EON ICO REVIEW – The Decentralized Digital Game Distribution Platform
The gaming industry is rapidly evolving, and with a total revenue of $116 Billion in 2017, there are projected prospects for its growth into a multi-trillion dollars market. With over 2.3 billion gamers around the world, there are forecasts that the market will surpass $137 Billion in revenue by the end of 2018, amounting to an estimated 13.3% increase from the previous year, an equivalent of $16.2 Billion.

With this growth comes bigger challenges for game developers; they are plagued with the challenge of marketing their new developments to end-users in a centralized content-distribution ecosystem governed by Big companies. Resultantly developers spend huge sums of money for the service of these centralized game distribution companies and online advert platforms who have the crowd’s attention at their behest. It is estimated that developers spend up to 50% of their revenue on these ‘marketing and distribution platforms’, with an average cost of $15 for acquiring a new player. This makes for an inconducive environment for new developers to thrive, slows down content development time and release, and ultimately plays to the favor of the big companies running these services, pushing game developers to the edge, while making content distribution and availability more centralized.
The EON Platform seeks to address this problem by restructuring and repositioning the gaming industry from the centralized system of today to a decentralized ecosystem of Players, Developers and content creators. This can be seen as big leap towards a self-evolving ecosystem of players and developers, eliminating the costs developers bear to reach out and connect with players in the traditional centralized market system. By this, Eon aims to bring the market to developers through a self-governing, decentralized, distribution platform.
The EON platform will serve as an interactive ecosystem for content creation and distribution between developers and gamers, eliminating the need for a third party governing distribution platform. Through the EON platform gamers will have direct access to roll-outs from developers and will be able to make instant game purchases regardless of their nationality and geographical location through the governing currency of the EON Ecosystem – the EON token.
While gamers can discover, share and play games within the EON platform, they can also interact and socialize with other gamers across the world. The EON platform affords developers a self-efficient development and distribution system through which they can distribute their games to every country with minimum charges on revenue.
With this Goal in mind, EON is running a token sale event to raise funds for the development of the EON platform. The token sale will be hosted on the Ethereum blockchain and contributors will receive EON tokens as place holder for their contributions in the token sale event. The EON token is the governing currency of the EON platform, designed to support the economy and facilitate the growth of the platform.
