Intro-

I just find out about this amazing blockchain build with eos "ULTRA" and the first ever dapp that is build on ultra is "Ultra Games". which will be the first ever blockchain based game selling platform where people can buy games and developers can sell just like steam.

UOS (Ultra coin) is currently trading at $0.057 USD on bitfinex , coinone , and bitrue

Why Ultra could become a success ->

For small developer its very hard to sell the game on their own so they use platforms like steam but this platforms take huge amount of developer profit up-to 30% and Ultra takes only 15% that's why ultra could become an direct competitor to steam in game distribution

ultra has many features that steam cannot provide virtual item creation and trading, and referral systems, all powered by an eos block-chain. This could provide new opportunities for developers get income

Current problems in gaming industries ->

1) High fees by distribution platform

2) As new games are coming out every day small developer has hard time getting their games discovered by people

3) Gaming influencers has created a new opportunity for game marketplaces to reward and pay users for their play time, which is missing out.

How ultra will help developers ->

1) ultra has less fees which give developers 21% more income with instant payouts

2) new business and marketing tools

3) Game-specific clubs, forums, newsletters, chats and other tools

4) Token based in game items trading. (That is what attract players most cause this can also help players and developers make more money It will be win win for both) Tokens can be configured by the game developer with the following optional features:

Consumable: the token is destroyed when “used” Ex: a health potion

Item subscription: the token grants access to the item during a set period of time Ex. a “24h double xp boost” token

Secondhand market allowed or not ( secondhand market will give developer to earn more income on their sells)

Sales revenue split with multi-signature

5) Easily port games from other platforms such as Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation to Ultra

How ultra will help Players->

1) Instant game play by using Ultra, players can enjoy their newly purchased game before having completed their download. Missing data continues to be downloaded while players are playing. (This is what I liked most)

2) Earn Ultra coin by beta test , viewing ads

3) exclusive games that will only available on ultra

4) referral program

5) ads revenue share allow users to earn more just like bat

Ultra has also announced their strategic partnership with AMD

Ultra coin could pump in near future if it become success because All purchases of games, virtual items, and services on Ultra Games operate through smart contracts which require UOS . So, users are going to be required to accumulate coins from other users
