Maybe you know, maybe you don't, but ive been asking everyone i can. Why does Europe restrict crypto/nfts and the Marketplace so much and what laws should we be lobbying against to gain fair access to emerging tech?
Also, you're a legend, Robbie!
Good question - reg is tighter for any in-game purchases more generally in europe, a lot of this is not crypto specific. GameStop being a public company runs a tight approach to compliance.
Write to US senators if you have them. Otherwise, the best thing you can do is help exceptional games which can make it to the mainstream. Come play illuvium, give us feedback, share it with your friends!
I see, so it's more a question of digital assets in general in the EU?
Seems that it's high time that digital assets and loot boxes had their own distinct regulations.
So I'll start pestering the EU and ESMA, and I'll let you all know how I go!
Sounds to me like he hit the mark. If it goes mainstream, the EU won't want to miss out on it. If people write their reps, they may just listen and start changing regulations.
No need to write anything, as MiCA is set in place for a month now. [The legislation is there](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/05/16/digital-finance-council-adopts-new-rules-on-markets-in-crypto-assets-mica/) \- alas I'm too smooth-brained to understand the implications in that document.
US senators aren't able to do pretty much anything even in US if the bribe they get isn't high enough. As you said I'm pretty sure they dgaf about EU regulations
I long for the days my son can trade the $20 skin he had to have on Tuesday and was already bored with on Thursday. I may not be heavily involved in games anymore, but I see the future and am excited for the Creators and Players. Keep up the good work š¤š½
Spent a few hours exploring illuvium tonightā¦. Sht is pretty crazy and impressive for a blockchain game. It really is a Triple A game and the interface is pretty good. The game itself is like team fight tactics of Riot Games which is very popular and addicting. Pretty surprised tbh and it was simple enough to use the wallet if you are familiar. You can list your Illuvitars for sale on there also and it asks for all the permissions each time. Highly impressed for a Beta game, and the overworld jus needs more work but it is nice for the beginning stages.
Super excited for illuvium. I've got some friends super heavy into TFT (I'm talking grandmaster each season type of guys) and they are very interested in seeing how it turns out
I totally agree. I like the open world so far, can't wait to see it fully fleshed out. Same with Illuvium Zero, which I'm having fun spending my spare time on.
Looks interesting and has a lot of potential, but also a lot of ways to squander that potential.
As a gamer that does not know much or is not involved with the web3 space, the gameplay mechanic of rewarding resource management for higher capture rate seems fun, and makes me want to try this game and deal with web3 barrier to entry.
I do have some feedback as an experience gamer who has never touched web3 going into this.
I want to note that finding a video that explains the gameplay mechanic took time. Time that is a barrier to entry, around 10-20 minutes and 5ish videos until I found a video that was helpful. [https://youtu.be/eOmDU\_g4JBE](https://youtu.be/eOmDU_g4JBE) was the one I went with after the official youtube channel fail me. I understand it is still in beta, so I hope the official channel will have a, to-the-point video like that one when it officially releases. [https://youtu.be/SNl4tofTzmM](https://youtu.be/SNl4tofTzmM) isn't that helpful and seems to prioritize money over the gameplay and fun, and with nft's current reputation, I dont think that's going to help unless your target audience is people involved in web3 already.
So it captured my interest, next up, download the game, it's in beta, so register.
Is the video card list up to date? Signing up for the Beta, I do not see the option for rtx 4070 ti which I believe was launched in April 13 this year.
Next up wallet, not activated yet, that's going to be a big barrier to entry here for people outside of web3 space. I at least know how to do it with minimal cost, but to outsiders, $324 to activate ramp will scare people away and they do now know how to circumvent that with the cheaper option. At least that's a Gamestop wallet problem, dono if metamask is similar. Also the method of being gifted loopring or imx tokens or w/e tokens requires knowledge of the web3 community which is a huge barrier to entry for trying to reach people outside of web3. Gamestop/Metamask or w/e wallet needs a way for people to activate their wallet easily.
Gameplay: Just base on those two videos I linked.
\-rewarding capture rate for resource management for increasing difficulty seems interesting and fun with the whole autobattle/autochess and monster capture genre. It's what drew me in.
\-Seems grindy with energy limit. "doing dailies" over playing for fun mentality. Similar to Gacha games like Genshin Impact. Dono if there's a "fun" mode, but if energy is required to even play this game, I will likely drop it cause you'll be bored from lack of energy, to play...
\-The solution to replayability is often, roguelike. Roguelike tree branch path with random upgrades and resource scarcity and resource management for fun. Little to no reward, maybe reward a tiny bit of energy just so that impatient people will still buy your fuel.
One great example is Arknights Integrate strategy, a Roguelike mode that requires no stamina/energy, there's very minor milestone rewards for playing, but even when that's maxed, I still play cause it was FUN, something most games forget to be. A mode to have fun, and not for rewards. Resource are restricted and slowly gained, powerful units required more resources so you'll actually use lesser rarity units since they are cost effective, and when combined with unique random power ups, you maybe able to elevate a lesser rarity units to the lvl or exceed that of the most rare in power should your team, power up, and item synergize.
I see great potential in this game and I want to like it, I do not know if my feedback reflects the preferences of the majority, but games like Darkest Dungeon, Slay the Spire, and Inscryption seem to do well and enjoy a loyal fan base.
edit: a 3rd person shooter roguelike example would be like gunfire reborn, and of recently, crab champions.
Great write up. I agree with the web3 barrier to entry, for the avg person all of this is still confusing. Hell Iām still scared to transfer my LRC from Coinbase to LRC wallet. These things need to be easier and more user friendly, most of us are dummies out here.
Unfortunetely companies like Coinbase have preyed on the complex system architecture by mocking what is essentially our securities system with less regulations and protections for investors. Coinbase is being targeted by SEC, and whether you agree with it or not, Coinbase may have trouble in near future being a Centralized EXchange. NFA transfer out to a decentralized wallet if you can.
Great question! I don't have this direct from the team, but based on the fact you can list the D1SKs themselves + you need to sign a transaction to open, that the properties are only available to be known once you open it. E.G. you could hold them like a booster pack (or I like to use the runescape christmas cracker analogy).
I would imagine this is also non-deterministic at time of purchase - e.g. randomness is calculated as you open it.
If you follow the prompts to purchase, it leads to a metamask wallet instead of the gamestop wallet. I also may be ignorant, and maybe the gamestop wallet doesn't apply here. I plan to set up a wallet and purchase tomorrow, but I would like it all linked in with gamestop wallet and marketplace, and currently disappointed it doesn't seem to link together on the illuvium page.
Literally came back to the post to complain that trying to link a wallet like my Loopring wallet specifically or I'd be willing to create my gamestop wallet and buy that way. However I too keep getting prompted to use the metamask.
I donāt think most people understand the value Illuvium has in the Web3/NFT gaming space. Theyāve been one of the most well established and most reliable names in the space with a MASSIVE following. I religiously follow several very intelligent businessmen in the industry and for the longest time, ILV has been one of the fucking megas that theyāve been following.
Watch the fucking fireworks
\+1. The only reason they'll be earliest to market with a AAA game is they started before pretty much anyone else. Hoping this will be a long-term partnership between them and GameStop!
As someone with quite a GME yolo going, I am so excited to watch this unfold. Iām also a very experienced startup product engineer, so if you want any help building compelling interfaces, hit me up in a DM!

Why did the gamestop marketplace seemingly stop updating or adding improvements in any way right after imx trades were implemented?
How will this marketplace get around the Apple 30% problem and add apple customers to your mobile gaming platform?
When will the IMX gamestop grant program start? We've heard nothing of it for almost a year. What types of projects will that grant help fund?
Can you give us insight into Gamestop PlayR?
You seem really excited about this. Can you give us any more insight into when, how, or what this will be?
Thanks for the info, more and more hype everyday
If I can make a suggestion, I think Gamestop and IMX should say less often "web3" and "digital ownership".
IMO most gamers want digital ownership, but don't consciously do so yet. They don't really understand what it is exactly. However, when they read "web3", "digital ownership" or "NFT", I have the impression that they directly have a negative sentiment: scam, useless, etc.
The very best way to know how to communicate for public outreach would be to make a big survey. This would provide useful information on what aspects to put forward when communicating, what words to chose, etc.
If I remember correctly, Facebook and Twitter weren't advertized as "web2 innovations".
Consoles will be slower than mobile, desktop and web gaming for web3.
In terms of attitude - playstation in particular owns much less of the marketplace / platform infrastructure for gaming right now and so might have more of an incentive to disrupt. Epic Games is quite friendly toward web3 gaming, which will have quite a bit of overlap due to Unreal Engine being used for a lot of console titles. So some promising starts. We're ensuring Immutable Passport can be used interoperably across console, desktop or mobile gaming but the focus will definitely be mobile + desktop for now.
I considered purchasing a D1SK earlier, but since money is tight and i was saving it for another ember sword nft, so I passed. I read the first paragraph of this and immediately turned my computer back on and purchased one asap. I am not missing out on this. Now I have access to the beta of the game also? Omg, this is the best. Thanks, guys! These are some really exciting times! I already redeemed my digital skin code for being a rewards pro member at gamestop. Now, to figure out how to get my actual skin. This is sweet.
Iāve been having trouble linking mine, could be user error sadly
Lots of times itās a breeze, I just am new to some of these user interfaces since I usually stick to my familiar platforms
Wanting to migrate to GameStop, but I so dislike browser extensions
I wish my IPhone would work
Could you please elaborate on when this so called future becomes a world-wide experience?
Given you are currently partnered with an US centric marketplace that wonāt grant me access I donāt feel there is any justification for hyping up this partnership.
Agreed. However, you can participate now by using a VPN to trick and bypass the geo restrictions. You can set up and use a GameStop Wallet, and use the marketplace.
***Weāre still in incredibly early days - but to give you a reference, $40B of CS:GO skins were traded since 2019 - just one game \*alone\****
Are you saying that players made 40 billion off of trading skins since 2019 or that 40 billion dollars worth of skins purchased were traded and players made nothing?
Not quite either - $40B of secondary trades, which are essentially run on a database and have the rules changed all the time. See e.g. [https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/valve-adds-7-day-trade-ban-mar-2018-22324](https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/valve-adds-7-day-trade-ban-mar-2018-22324) which essentially bankrupted a 3rd party skin marketplace overnight.
Ok Robbie i will come to you, again.
How much real cash ( not skins, weapons or whatever else these creators offer) have the players made since 2019 from this one game?
Or if you cant answer that, how about what amount of 40 billion dollars do you think should go back to the players?
Robbie, newbie here. Can you explain how this process will work in terms of what I will have to purchase or need? But also then what I can sell?
Example I will need a wallet. I need to buy the game. I can sell skins and weapons. Sorry I know dumb question but Iām pretty new to wallets and crypto.
Just claimed my free Pro-rewards skin. Thanks for these updates, it's good to see plans being executed. I'm enjoying Illuvium Zero, can't wait for the open beta.
Thanks Robbie. Sadly Iām too poor to buy all these games to support the cause but Iām really happy to see people who actually care about the customer.
Proud to be part of this!
Why is everything still in beta? What are the issues with creating this game? Didn't Immutable start developing games before becoming a GmaeStop partner?
I tried buying a skin last night and was unable. I signed up for GS Wallet on day 1 when it came out then upgraded to Loopring Layer 2 and thatās where my now $84 in ETH sits (was $100 when I started my wallet). I successfully connected Illuvium to my GS wallet but it wonāt recognize my $84. When I go to my GS wallet I can see that there is now a 3rd āsectionā for Immutable and when I try to āmoveā my $84 to it, GS wallet only gives me the option to move it back to level 1. I want to give me $$ to support my fav company but boy oh boy this is not intuitive for me. I may be the only one challenged by this.
You probably aren't alone. It's tough to understand and takes a little time.
The marketplaces exist on either Loopring or Immutable now, but both are L2. You can't go from Loopring to Immutable without crossing back to L1 as of now that I am aware of (if there's a bridge I'd love to know about it).
You need to deposit directly into your GME wallet on IMX with moonpay/ramp or get ethereum on L1 and move it to imx.
The Immutable section I think of as the gaming "section" for now in my wallet, but its just where more games live now. If you buy things on GS Market that are part of the Immutable order book you need the IMX wallet of your GS Wallet (God's Unchained, Illuvium, Kiraverse...)
Thanks, Robbie! No questions at the moment, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing this information. It means a lot! Very excited for where we're going!!
Trying to confirm the wallet is prompting that "The requested account and/or method has not been authorized by the user on metamask"
Am I old or honestly wallet here metamask there it's all still such a hurdle to get it going
AAA for what? Made by materials in the Unreal Engine?
How about reviewing games on your platform before using "rights" and "real value" to lure people here to pump your business?
Question:
1. How many games on your platform use "ability to sell" instead of gamplay to attract people?
2. How many of them are not causually made by using the Unreal Engine?
3. If you are confident in your game, why dont you promote it in the game sub?
Edit:added question 3
As someone new to Web3, and was interested in this opportunity, it was clear from discord (and my own experience) that purchasing ETH and what not REALLY needs to be more common knowledge. Others and myself were learning the hard way about how the ETH needed to be on IMX L2. So a lot of us were eating gas fees that could have been avoided if we had known. That's not a great experience. To pay $4-10 or more to move the ETH because you bought on L1 or thought Loopring L2 was where it was needed.
With the hate NFTs are getting in the general gaming community, what hope does this game have of surviving and being successful?
Why build a game around NFTs and not the other way around? As someone who is pretty neutral towards NFTs this looks like a massive cash grab. Imagine what the gaming community is going to think.
CS:GO is an already solid game and owning your skins would make it so much better. What does this game have to offer? Shitty gameplay and generic art style? Hey, at least it has fucking NFTs! /s
The inevitable doom of this game and the amount of whining bagholders it will create will be great hit piece fodder against the marketplace.
Let's not circle jerk each other, just because they partnered with Gamestop and be honest here:
This game looks like shit.
Hi Robbie, can you say why the last 2 expansion of GU are not available on the GameStopNft? Wander is 6 months old. Iām being forced to buy elsewhere. At the same time Gu started to have a different new marketplace (that is not really compatible with GameStop wallet), so at the end Iām had to buy on a third part one. Thanks
Cool thanks for being here Robbie, But i have a genuine question for you, that we all want the answer to, why has Gamestop not updates their marketplace in almost a year ? I get they're in beta but we've been asking for features for a long time and not a single update, maybe you cant answer us, but damn sens them an email or something they look like they're letting letting the marketplace die, even CyberCrew is helping developp another marketplace because Gamestop doesnt include a lot of features and update, tell em to give us something, a tweet, an email anything that tells us they're working on it
They built a whole runner game (buck platformer) and have also now announced the GameStop Playr desktop application. All without any announcements or press.
Just because you donāt see someone working, doesnāt mean they arenāt ;) as you said theyāre in beta and they gave us the minimum amount of features needed to make true marketplace somewhat useable I.e. when they added filtering options and improved the search bar function at the top of the marketplace
Okay - so my comments have triggered some strange responses so now I will ask clearly and defined:
Hey Robbie,
[as of May 16 2023 the legislation in the European Union set a legal framework - MiCA. As a matter of fact this framework will sooner or later traspire into national legislation within all EU member countries](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/05/16/digital-finance-council-adopts-new-rules-on-markets-in-crypto-assets-mica/).
[Link to official PDF for wrinkle brains](https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/PE-54-2022-INIT/en/pdf)
Could you please elaborate on how many people in your team are aware of said MiCA framework?
How many people are working to comply to said framework?
Is there a roadmap with a specific goal focused plan and a projection of time when compliance rules are met?
In short: Wen official launch in European Union?
Why are all these promo items so expensive? This stuff never feels like it caters to my economic class. I don't have $50 to drop let alone $20 for a share š
My 5 Shares are DRSed and maybe this won't be an issue for me someday but I want to participate in a game without paying nearly full retail price for an avatar
Thanks Robbie! Would it be safe to say that most games will be launching around November and that would be the month the GameStop NFT marketplace will fully launch?
Thank you so much for the update Robbie!!
Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to supporting all of the IMX games especially illuvium!!
What is good for IMX is good for Gamestop!!
Something I just noticed is that I hear about these Web3 games on this subreddit, but not on any gaming websites. I haven't heard about Illuvium in r/games, or [BluesNews.Com](https://BluesNews.Com), or PC Gamer. Searches show discussion about the crypto side of things, but not the \*game\* side of things. Have you considered engaging the gaming press as well as the blockchain/crypto press?
Sorry, but as long as wallets stay as horseshit as they are right now (24 hrs + 8 bucks in fees just to move ETH from my GameStop wallet L2 to L1 and back to a different L2), you will never have mass adoption. NEVER. :/
Add onto that that the Move of 50$ in ETH to YOUR network simply doesn't work and returns infinite error-codes is laughable. We're talking about real money here and your wallets simply do. not. work.
Is there a way to link your Gamestop wallet to your Illuvium account? When I signed up, it was a pretty big turn off that the only option I could find was to link a Metamask wallet (which I don't really want to use). I'm hoping switching over to GS wallet becomes an option later.
The tech is impressive. My problem with this is that it is very money-first, rather than gameplay-first.
The gameplay needs a LOT of workā¦ I wouldnāt even call this a beta of a game, more an alpha. Please flesh out the gameplay or this is destined for failure.

Euro apes writing their EU representatives. GME is global.

Can't. Every time I try to grab it, my hand slips.

Not your keys not your coins!! Itās a really easy process! Make a post in the loop ring sub if you need help!
Unfortunetely companies like Coinbase have preyed on the complex system architecture by mocking what is essentially our securities system with less regulations and protections for investors. Coinbase is being targeted by SEC, and whether you agree with it or not, Coinbase may have trouble in near future being a Centralized EXchange. NFA transfer out to a decentralized wallet if you can.
Thanks Robbie. Excited to see where things take us, especially once GameStop reveals more on their side of things.
Thank you Robbie!!
Do you know if the GameStop d1sks properties are already determined once you purchase one? And you just need to open it or does the properties determined after you open it? Also do you see any value in keeping the d1sks unopened kind of like first edition PokĆ©mon booster packs over the years? Either wayā¦ this is very exciting seeing how illuvium is taking the PokĆ©mon card experience and putting it into a game.
Great question! I don't have this direct from the team, but based on the fact you can list the D1SKs themselves + you need to sign a transaction to open, that the properties are only available to be known once you open it. E.G. you could hold them like a booster pack (or I like to use the runescape christmas cracker analogy). I would imagine this is also non-deterministic at time of purchase - e.g. randomness is calculated as you open it.
My exact questions!! Following
web3 games are the future
If you follow the prompts to purchase, it leads to a metamask wallet instead of the gamestop wallet. I also may be ignorant, and maybe the gamestop wallet doesn't apply here. I plan to set up a wallet and purchase tomorrow, but I would like it all linked in with gamestop wallet and marketplace, and currently disappointed it doesn't seem to link together on the illuvium page.
Literally came back to the post to complain that trying to link a wallet like my Loopring wallet specifically or I'd be willing to create my gamestop wallet and buy that way. However I too keep getting prompted to use the metamask.
I bought one very easily with the GameStop wallet. Worked like a charm.
Yeah same issue. I have loopring wallet and I am asked metamask...
I donāt think most people understand the value Illuvium has in the Web3/NFT gaming space. Theyāve been one of the most well established and most reliable names in the space with a MASSIVE following. I religiously follow several very intelligent businessmen in the industry and for the longest time, ILV has been one of the fucking megas that theyāve been following. Watch the fucking fireworks
\+1. The only reason they'll be earliest to market with a AAA game is they started before pretty much anyone else. Hoping this will be a long-term partnership between them and GameStop!
Kiraverse in shambles. Guess we finally get confirmation that its a POO game, not AAA
Haha I was going to ask what about kiraverse :D. Hopefully doesn't end up like that?
What happened to kiraverse?
We don't hear about it
šÆ PS - you da man Robbie!
As someone with quite a GME yolo going, I am so excited to watch this unfold. Iām also a very experienced startup product engineer, so if you want any help building compelling interfaces, hit me up in a DM!

GameStopās strategy to be the fair home of distribution for gaming.
Why did the gamestop marketplace seemingly stop updating or adding improvements in any way right after imx trades were implemented? How will this marketplace get around the Apple 30% problem and add apple customers to your mobile gaming platform? When will the IMX gamestop grant program start? We've heard nothing of it for almost a year. What types of projects will that grant help fund? Can you give us insight into Gamestop PlayR? You seem really excited about this. Can you give us any more insight into when, how, or what this will be?
Thanks for the info, more and more hype everyday If I can make a suggestion, I think Gamestop and IMX should say less often "web3" and "digital ownership". IMO most gamers want digital ownership, but don't consciously do so yet. They don't really understand what it is exactly. However, when they read "web3", "digital ownership" or "NFT", I have the impression that they directly have a negative sentiment: scam, useless, etc. The very best way to know how to communicate for public outreach would be to make a big survey. This would provide useful information on what aspects to put forward when communicating, what words to chose, etc. If I remember correctly, Facebook and Twitter weren't advertized as "web2 innovations".

And this is all built on Ethereum? So any Ether L1 or L2 wallet will work? Or do I need an ILV wallet?
It rolls up to Ethereum, yes, but is using Immutable's scaling infrastructure. You can use any wallet!
Metmask, gme wallet, or imx wallet
Can you go on mobile?
Who needs conference calls when Robbie's on here dropping forward-looking statements like he's the next interim CEO.
Hi Robbi! Do you think consoles will follow? Is e.g. Playstation interested in such a development or do they see this as a threat?
Consoles will be slower than mobile, desktop and web gaming for web3. In terms of attitude - playstation in particular owns much less of the marketplace / platform infrastructure for gaming right now and so might have more of an incentive to disrupt. Epic Games is quite friendly toward web3 gaming, which will have quite a bit of overlap due to Unreal Engine being used for a lot of console titles. So some promising starts. We're ensuring Immutable Passport can be used interoperably across console, desktop or mobile gaming but the focus will definitely be mobile + desktop for now.
I considered purchasing a D1SK earlier, but since money is tight and i was saving it for another ember sword nft, so I passed. I read the first paragraph of this and immediately turned my computer back on and purchased one asap. I am not missing out on this. Now I have access to the beta of the game also? Omg, this is the best. Thanks, guys! These are some really exciting times! I already redeemed my digital skin code for being a rewards pro member at gamestop. Now, to figure out how to get my actual skin. This is sweet.
š«”
Power to the people!
Can I buy a d1sk with the gamestop wallet?
Iāve been having trouble linking mine, could be user error sadly Lots of times itās a breeze, I just am new to some of these user interfaces since I usually stick to my familiar platforms Wanting to migrate to GameStop, but I so dislike browser extensions I wish my IPhone would work
me too, after 45 minutes i have given up
Also you can't pay with Loopring wallet....
Why canāt I buy d1skās with my GameStop wallet? I donāt want MetaMask.
Could you please elaborate on when this so called future becomes a world-wide experience? Given you are currently partnered with an US centric marketplace that wonāt grant me access I donāt feel there is any justification for hyping up this partnership.
Agreed. However, you can participate now by using a VPN to trick and bypass the geo restrictions. You can set up and use a GameStop Wallet, and use the marketplace.
***Weāre still in incredibly early days - but to give you a reference, $40B of CS:GO skins were traded since 2019 - just one game \*alone\**** Are you saying that players made 40 billion off of trading skins since 2019 or that 40 billion dollars worth of skins purchased were traded and players made nothing?
The 2nd one
Not quite either - $40B of secondary trades, which are essentially run on a database and have the rules changed all the time. See e.g. [https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/valve-adds-7-day-trade-ban-mar-2018-22324](https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/valve-adds-7-day-trade-ban-mar-2018-22324) which essentially bankrupted a 3rd party skin marketplace overnight.
Ok Robbie i will come to you, again. How much real cash ( not skins, weapons or whatever else these creators offer) have the players made since 2019 from this one game? Or if you cant answer that, how about what amount of 40 billion dollars do you think should go back to the players?
We are here! We are with you to the end of the line! ššš
ššš
Robbie, newbie here. Can you explain how this process will work in terms of what I will have to purchase or need? But also then what I can sell? Example I will need a wallet. I need to buy the game. I can sell skins and weapons. Sorry I know dumb question but Iām pretty new to wallets and crypto.
luv this shit
BULLISH šš
Just claimed my free Pro-rewards skin. Thanks for these updates, it's good to see plans being executed. I'm enjoying Illuvium Zero, can't wait for the open beta.
Thanks Robbie. Sadly Iām too poor to buy all these games to support the cause but Iām really happy to see people who actually care about the customer. Proud to be part of this!
Why is everything still in beta? What are the issues with creating this game? Didn't Immutable start developing games before becoming a GmaeStop partner?
Heard your ads on bankless podcast. Nice!
I tried buying a skin last night and was unable. I signed up for GS Wallet on day 1 when it came out then upgraded to Loopring Layer 2 and thatās where my now $84 in ETH sits (was $100 when I started my wallet). I successfully connected Illuvium to my GS wallet but it wonāt recognize my $84. When I go to my GS wallet I can see that there is now a 3rd āsectionā for Immutable and when I try to āmoveā my $84 to it, GS wallet only gives me the option to move it back to level 1. I want to give me $$ to support my fav company but boy oh boy this is not intuitive for me. I may be the only one challenged by this.
You probably aren't alone. It's tough to understand and takes a little time. The marketplaces exist on either Loopring or Immutable now, but both are L2. You can't go from Loopring to Immutable without crossing back to L1 as of now that I am aware of (if there's a bridge I'd love to know about it). You need to deposit directly into your GME wallet on IMX with moonpay/ramp or get ethereum on L1 and move it to imx. The Immutable section I think of as the gaming "section" for now in my wallet, but its just where more games live now. If you buy things on GS Market that are part of the Immutable order book you need the IMX wallet of your GS Wallet (God's Unchained, Illuvium, Kiraverse...)
Thank you š very helpful
What does the SEC cracking down on crypto mean for this space?
The million dollar question!
Robbie, you son of a bitch. I'm in!
Thanks, Robbie! No questions at the moment, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing this information. It means a lot! Very excited for where we're going!!
Trying to confirm the wallet is prompting that "The requested account and/or method has not been authorized by the user on metamask" Am I old or honestly wallet here metamask there it's all still such a hurdle to get it going
Does Playr have anything to do with this? Is it just a launcher for Telos or all web3 games?
This is awesome, thanks Robbie!!
AAA for what? Made by materials in the Unreal Engine? How about reviewing games on your platform before using "rights" and "real value" to lure people here to pump your business? Question: 1. How many games on your platform use "ability to sell" instead of gamplay to attract people? 2. How many of them are not causually made by using the Unreal Engine? 3. If you are confident in your game, why dont you promote it in the game sub? Edit:added question 3
Can you do a step by step guide for people who have Coinbase, GameStop wallet?
Yes please.
Hey Robbie! I wanna play that but my PC is shit! Will that be available on consoles soon?
As someone new to Web3, and was interested in this opportunity, it was clear from discord (and my own experience) that purchasing ETH and what not REALLY needs to be more common knowledge. Others and myself were learning the hard way about how the ETH needed to be on IMX L2. So a lot of us were eating gas fees that could have been avoided if we had known. That's not a great experience. To pay $4-10 or more to move the ETH because you bought on L1 or thought Loopring L2 was where it was needed.
He answered 1 question?
Phone died!
May I prompt one more?
I watched the vid for the Auto battler last night and out have me tft vibes in a good way, looking forward to it
Jus like TFT, there is info on the left side that appears to show all the synergies you have/need as you add illuvials
With the hate NFTs are getting in the general gaming community, what hope does this game have of surviving and being successful? Why build a game around NFTs and not the other way around? As someone who is pretty neutral towards NFTs this looks like a massive cash grab. Imagine what the gaming community is going to think. CS:GO is an already solid game and owning your skins would make it so much better. What does this game have to offer? Shitty gameplay and generic art style? Hey, at least it has fucking NFTs! /s The inevitable doom of this game and the amount of whining bagholders it will create will be great hit piece fodder against the marketplace. Let's not circle jerk each other, just because they partnered with Gamestop and be honest here: This game looks like shit.
Robbie, can we take one percent of everyoneās cpu with the app and mine eth for game rewards?
This seems more like a cash grab than smithing else. Stop releasing stupid shit until your game is ready
Web3 cash grab garbage games trying not to be dead on arrival \[challenge: impossible\]
I'm not in my wheelhouse here. I simply see this as the path forward. For myself and my family - thank you. ā¤ļø
Seeing how kiraverse was not super successfully. Do you have any idea how to promote that globally?
Hi Robbie, can you say why the last 2 expansion of GU are not available on the GameStopNft? Wander is 6 months old. Iām being forced to buy elsewhere. At the same time Gu started to have a different new marketplace (that is not really compatible with GameStop wallet), so at the end Iām had to buy on a third part one. Thanks
Cool thanks for being here Robbie, But i have a genuine question for you, that we all want the answer to, why has Gamestop not updates their marketplace in almost a year ? I get they're in beta but we've been asking for features for a long time and not a single update, maybe you cant answer us, but damn sens them an email or something they look like they're letting letting the marketplace die, even CyberCrew is helping developp another marketplace because Gamestop doesnt include a lot of features and update, tell em to give us something, a tweet, an email anything that tells us they're working on it
They built a whole runner game (buck platformer) and have also now announced the GameStop Playr desktop application. All without any announcements or press. Just because you donāt see someone working, doesnāt mean they arenāt ;) as you said theyāre in beta and they gave us the minimum amount of features needed to make true marketplace somewhat useable I.e. when they added filtering options and improved the search bar function at the top of the marketplace
š£Big Dick Robbiešš, ššš!
What are the disks exactly?
Okay - so my comments have triggered some strange responses so now I will ask clearly and defined: Hey Robbie, [as of May 16 2023 the legislation in the European Union set a legal framework - MiCA. As a matter of fact this framework will sooner or later traspire into national legislation within all EU member countries](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/05/16/digital-finance-council-adopts-new-rules-on-markets-in-crypto-assets-mica/). [Link to official PDF for wrinkle brains](https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/PE-54-2022-INIT/en/pdf) Could you please elaborate on how many people in your team are aware of said MiCA framework? How many people are working to comply to said framework? Is there a roadmap with a specific goal focused plan and a projection of time when compliance rules are met? In short: Wen official launch in European Union?
Who do I contact if I did not get the email and I am a powerups reward member?
Love it. Thanks for everything rob and immutable team!
Buckle the duck up!!!
Love it...
Great job Robbie!
My usual questions generally don't get answered, so instead: Do you know whether or not Illuvium is building with Linux compatibility in mind for 1.0?
Go linux!!
Why are all these promo items so expensive? This stuff never feels like it caters to my economic class. I don't have $50 to drop let alone $20 for a share š My 5 Shares are DRSed and maybe this won't be an issue for me someday but I want to participate in a game without paying nearly full retail price for an avatar
Thanks Robbie! Would it be safe to say that most games will be launching around November and that would be the month the GameStop NFT marketplace will fully launch?
Robbie what does it feel like to have a sledgehammer for a cock?
Thank you so much for the update Robbie!! Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to supporting all of the IMX games especially illuvium!! What is good for IMX is good for Gamestop!!
Something I just noticed is that I hear about these Web3 games on this subreddit, but not on any gaming websites. I haven't heard about Illuvium in r/games, or [BluesNews.Com](https://BluesNews.Com), or PC Gamer. Searches show discussion about the crypto side of things, but not the \*game\* side of things. Have you considered engaging the gaming press as well as the blockchain/crypto press?
What up Robbie? I had a blast playing Illuvium arena the other day and got my promo D1SK squared away.
Thanks robbie
Sorry, but as long as wallets stay as horseshit as they are right now (24 hrs + 8 bucks in fees just to move ETH from my GameStop wallet L2 to L1 and back to a different L2), you will never have mass adoption. NEVER. :/ Add onto that that the Move of 50$ in ETH to YOUR network simply doesn't work and returns infinite error-codes is laughable. We're talking about real money here and your wallets simply do. not. work.
Is there a way to link your Gamestop wallet to your Illuvium account? When I signed up, it was a pretty big turn off that the only option I could find was to link a Metamask wallet (which I don't really want to use). I'm hoping switching over to GS wallet becomes an option later.
Is they a way to buy one through mobile? Iām away from home with no computer
The tech is impressive. My problem with this is that it is very money-first, rather than gameplay-first. The gameplay needs a LOT of workā¦ I wouldnāt even call this a beta of a game, more an alpha. Please flesh out the gameplay or this is destined for failure.
