Zynga , a company owned by publisher Take-Two Interactive Software (owners of the Grand Theft Auto series of games), has announced the launch of its first web3 game that will be available to players using the Ethereum (ERC-721) cryptocurrency.
The game is called Sugartown and will provide players with an opportunity to earn “in-game cryptocurrency”. It is planned to issue 10 thousand Oras tokens by the end of the year.
Players will need Ethereum to access the game. Inside the game, they will be able to place bets to “earn energy” as well as win the “Oras in-game currency”. With this currency, you will be able to access rewards, representatives of Zynga said.
Although the description of the principles of the game sounds abstract and not clear enough, the fact that such a game is released by a major publisher (Zynga was acquired for $12.7 billion) can significantly affect the video game market and how they are monetized.
Zynga is an American video game development company founded in July 2007. It creates social games for the Apple iOS and Android mobile platforms, web games through Zynga.com, and games for social networks including Facebook, Google+ and QQ.
