Robot Cache

The first decentralized PC video game distribution platform with a revolutionary digital resale model.



Introduction

Robot Cache is the first decentralized PC video game distribution platform that benefits publishers, developers and gamers. Utilizing blockchain technology, Robot Cache will reduce the fees publishers and developers pay by 80% and allow gamers to resell their digital PC video games. In addition, gamers can opt in to mine digital assets (IRON) that can be applied towards the purchase of games.

“Just a handful of companies dominate the multi-billion dollar digital download PC video games market. Robot Cache plans to revolutionize the industry by launching the first-ever workable decentralized video game marketplace that benefits both the creators of video games and gamers. All of this is accomplished by expertly leveraging the power, flexibility, safety, and transparency of blockchain technology,” said Lee Jacobson, CEO, Robot Cache.

Robot Cache is a victory for digital PC gamers and the publishers who create games. The Robot Cache platform is created by industry veterans who understand the dynamics of what is needed to be successful and have the relationships necessary to bring the right partners to the table.  Best of all, Robot Cache will be a full featured and live platform when gamers first come to it. Robot Cache expects to offer the latest and greatest video games on the Robot Cache platform for gamers’ immediate enjoyment.


Developers and Publishers Benefit

Developers and publishers benefit from the lowest transaction fees of any digital PC video game distribution platform. Everyone from the smallest indie team to the biggest publishers, will retain up to 95% of the sales proceeds, which is 25% higher than the current industry standard. In addition, Robot Cache’s revolutionary digital resale market allows developers and publishers to set resale pricing and earn 70% of the resale proceeds. Additionally, game makers will be able to control the parameters of resales, receive payment in minutes (not months), maintain secure ownership rights (due to decentralized blockchain management), and have a full suite of sales and marketing tools at their disposal.

“Earning any money on the video game resale market is unheard of for game publishers, and earning up to 70%, which is equivalent to the best margins publishers and developers currently receive on today’s most popular digital distributions platforms is crazy. Allowing creators to keep 95% of new game sales, and 70% on game resales, provides developers, like us at inXile, with a strong financial stream.  This gives us more resources to create new content and new IPs for fans,” said Brian Fargo, CEO of inXile Entertainment and Founder of Robot Cache.

Gamers Benefit

Gamers greatly benefit from Robot Cache’s unique distribution approach. Previously, gamers could only resell physical retail copies of a video game, but now they can resell digital games purchased on the Robot Cache platform using the blockchain and retain 25% of the proceeds from the resale. Selling their digital games earn them digital tokens, named IRON, Robot Cache’s cryptocurrency, which they can use toward the purchase of another  game on the Robot Cache platform. In addition, gamers can opt-in within the Robot Cache client to mine IRON which they can then use to buy games on the platform.  Robot Cache has also created an IRON reward  program to incentivize gamers to use the platform.  When various individual or community milestones are reached, Robot Cache will reward additional IRON to the gamers using the platform.  

Token Generation Event

Robot Cache will be creating IRON based on the ERC-20 standard.  Robot Cache will sell and issue Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs), which will convert into IRON upon launch of the platform which will take place in Q2, 2018.  SAFTs are expected to begin being offered in an Institutional Pre-sale on January 17, 2018, and SAFTs are expected to begin being offered in an Accredited Public Pre-sale on February 15, 2018. Robot Cache will look to raise a minimum of $15M USD in a token generation event to be used to obtain exclusive content, develop partnerships and the digital PC video game distribution platform, and for sales, marketing, general, administrative, legal and accounting purposes.  The solicitation, offer, and sale of SAFTs will be conducted in a manner that is compliant with applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. Only verified accredited investors will be eligible to purchase SAFTs.

About Robot Cache

Robot Cache is the first ever decentralized PC video game distribution platform with a revolutionary digital resale model utilizing the blockchain.  Robot Cache allows publishers to keep significantly more revenues than other distribution platforms and gives gamers, for the first time ever, the ability to re-sell their digital games.  Founded by video game legend Brian Fargo, Robot Cache is led by video game luminaries such as Lee Jacobson (CEO), Mark Caldwell (CTO) and Philippe Erwin (GC & VP of Business Development). Robot Cache’s advisory board includes a mix of video game and blockchain experts: Anna Sweet, Nolan Bushnell, Michael Maloney, Chris Keenan, Gordon Einstein, Scott Walker and Keven Baxter.

Your minimum targeted amount to be raised is set at $15 millions. I am interested to know what if due to any reason you don't succeed to secure this minimum threshold of soft cap ? Would you still continue with whatever you raise or the collected funds will be returned to investors ?

Some very reputable people on the team and advisory board.

It's going to be difficult to take on the PC gaming giant Steam as well as others, Origin, Uplay, GOG, etc. as well as many other 3rd party digital game resellers out here G2A, Kinguin, etc.

abonarea, if we don't make our minimum $15 million raise, we return the money/crypto to it's original investors.

very interesting and promising project and I would like to participate in it.
but 50k is a large amount for the average and small investor.
why are you cutting them off?

The name is nice, the graphic is cool, the idea is brilliant. When, as private investors, we can start to buy and invest in some token? The site it's not so clear about this.

You say in the description that users can then resell their games when they don't need that anymore. The game is a digital version, right? It means that to save any value of the second hand game is to make a limited number of copies of that game, right? Are you going to encourage game devs making a limited number of copies? I don't think they will love this idea especially when there are more and more free-to-play games. DLC gives much more profit...

Here are a few things I find discouraging about this project:

Gamers greatly benefit from Robot Cache’s unique distribution approach. Previously, gamers could only resell physical retail copies of a video game, but now they can resell digital games purchased on the Robot Cache platform using the blockchain and retain 25% of the proceeds from the resale.

This statement is ridiculous. The person reselling the games only gets 30% of the profits when they were getting 100% of the profits and you're trying to say this "greatly benefits" gamers. Reselling games digitally is much more convenient than hard copies so that is an advantage but not worth 70% less profit.

In addition, Robot Cache’s revolutionary digital resale market allows developers and publishers to set resale pricing and earn 70% of the resale proceeds.

What if they sell it for cheaper than they bought it? The original devs and publishers get nothing. And who would pay more to buy a digital copy of a game secondhand from a reseller instead of directly from the devs and publishers? There won't even be a market for that unless there are limited copies of the game. But it doesn't make sense financially for devs and publishers to agree to that. They get 95% of their sales and only 70% of resells according to the business model listed in the original post.



Can anyone on the Robot Cache team respond to these concerns? A decentralized video game marketplace has a lot of value in it and the partnership with WAX is a huge plus.

The white paper states minimum Presale purchase is 50k. How many gamers have 50k available to invest? Do the team not agree this is unnecessarily prohibitive and unfair to the gaming community they purport to be helping? It is basically excluding most of those who show interest in supporting the project and who would actually believe in it and market it to others on social media etc, for the sake of richer investors who likely have no interest in the field other than making money.

Please reconsider the presale restrictions.
