Since the beginning of 2018, Game.com (Token name: GTC — CoinMarketCap) has been busy working on its mobile gaming platform and working with its game developer partners to bring games to the platform. There is already a large number of players playing various types of crypto-based games and completing daily challenges on the platform. A partial list can be seen below:

Game.com has chosen August 8 (08/08/18) as the deadline and release date for multiple events and projects (8 is traditionally considered a lucky number in Chinese culture). These events and projects include:

1) Launch of the GT mining platform — (Link to article summarizing GT mining). In short, on August 8, players will be able to mine a new token called GT by playing games on the mobile gaming platform. Depending on how many GT tokens a player holds, he/she can claim a share of the total daily GTC profits generated on the platform. While it’s unclear how GT mining will ultimately affect GTC price, there is speculation that increased demand for GTC to mine GT will increase GTC buying pressure.

Pre-testing of GT mining has begun for a small group of testers. Public release is set for August 8, 2018.

2) Full release of the Tron Dogs / Love.pet game Release of the game will bring GT mining and the introduction of cats into the game.

3) Last day for GTC candy collection (1:1 airdrop) — The last day to collect GTC candy will be on August 8. In short, players who freeze their GTC in the mobile app can receive GTC candy or 1:1 airdrop of their tokens in August, 2019.

4) Release of frozen GTC for early GTC candy collectors — For people who collected GTC candy before June 18, their original GTC will be unfrozen on August 9, 2018. This will create a large increase in circulating GTC. Even though it’s uncertain how this will affect GTC price, some are speculating that it will increase GTC selling pressure.

5) Opening of a new cryptocurrency exchange — A new GTC based cryptocurrency exchange is set to open at the beginning of August out of Taiwan. Game.com’s CEO has teased that this exchange will allow automatic addition of ERC20 tokens by any team that wishes to be listed. Also, trading fees will used for mining of GT tokens (similar to the FCOIN exchange).

It looks to be an interesting week for GTC price watchers as multiple events which may have opposite effects on token price are set to occur. Ultimately, the success of Game.com will hinge on whether or not GT mining catches on. If successful, the concept of mine-able tokens that pay dividends could completely change how cryptocurrency companies incentivize adoption of services.
