For what purposes is the Nxc token used?
Previously it was seen as an in-game currency in the game. But there were questions from Steam. Now it is unclear why a token is needed.
RussaX: sometimes, fudders are coming back to fud a little more on this project. But if you look at the Nexium rich list, you will see absolutely no tangible movement of token coming from the company addresses... And the four founders don't manipulate the market in any manner either (of course we did not share our private addresses, so you can take my word for it, or not). It is quite useless to argue about this and anyways, if we wanted the money for ourselves and not do anything we wouldn't be here more than a year after our ICO.
Our token is not just for one game, we want to build an ecosystem of games, some developed by us, some by others (so we'll be publishers too), using Nexium as game currency. But you are right, the token price is completely linked to the project's success, as it should be. By the way, we're also thinking about developing other games very soon.
About Steam: it is great news for us that Beyond the Void is published on Steam, because they hold 99.9% of the video game digital distribution market and being released there has a great impact on our reach.
A lot of video games have their own third party shop, it is not unusual at all. And it's ok, we can't make it work until Steam accepts Ethereum tokens as payment (they already accept bitcoin, why not Ether ? It's a gamble on the future that we are willing to take, because even if they don't add this payment method, our shop still works anyway).
When we did our ICO, it was to put the token in circulation, and to raise funds to start the project. Is the goal to spend every cent until the ICO money is finished in order to deliver our first product ? Of course not. We are thinking in the long term. We are thinking of ways to make revenue, with our games, with our Ethereum shop, with our skills so the company can last and develop itself properly.
We don't want to sit on a pile of crypto, develop our product and be done with it. We have a vision.
