Okay to answer my own question from a few hours ago yes it's possible to sell game keys thru Gameflip.
My next question is: what happens when the buyer says the game key is invalid?
For this you need to go to gameflip.com What a lousy answer for an in my opinion important question relevant to the ICO. If the buyer claims the digital good is invalid and the seller has no way to prove the digital good was indeed valid, as is the case with Steam keys, how are you going to handle that dispute? And since this was paid for with crypto it's impossible to charge back in case fraud did take place. Escrow doesn't help, because neither party knows the truth, except Valve. I figure this ICO doesn't cover game keys after all, only in game items, perhaps exactly because of this. Your white paper says digital goods which doesn't exclude game keys so I have to figure this out by the lack of the term game key. |

I think the most ideal to answer that at the moment would be possible partnerships to be presented, it can be complicated, but the Team would have much more tranquility in situations like the one mentioned above. Is there possibility of futurwas partnerships with major developers? |

I had a look at the website and saw you can buy in-game items, for example gold for world of warcraft.
I didnt know this was a legal thing to do, but I can see it works out great because a lot if items are labeled as sold.
Now I need to figure out how blockchain is involved, if anyone already knows?
they are using smart contracts to make the swap between items and "cash" automated, so that nobody get cheated for going first, and not getting paid money or not getting the item. Quite a nice use case i must say. Thanx for this explanation. I dont know why I couldnt think of this myself, since smart contract are being used for almost all new blockchain projects  |

1600 eth is a good amount for a pre sale. Gameflip has a great potential.
Are you guys plan a partnership with Steam?
We are currently in the process of discussing a partnership with all of the major global game publishers =) That is a good start, i guess it's a long process that will take time, so better get things in motion now. Hope we will get some very good news on this. Being in Steam would be so HUGE! |

Or you cant buy all those items on Steam, im not that familiar with it. |

But you are right, there will need to be some sort of validation for this. The fact that it will be written to the blockchain and can be validated there would make sense for me. Although how to make this a reality that's something the developers of GameFlip will be able to answer much better. |

I hope you guys can get some big publisher on board, then this ICO will rock. By the way, more then 1700 ETH raised so far, will this hit the 2000 in the last 12 hours of pre sale? |

The goal for this pre sale is 3000 ETH. And with the remaining time of 12 hours I don't think such goal will be fullfiled. Btw, 1700 ETH isn't bad amount tho! |

i believe game keys can be validated somehow to find out if they are already in use or not, in particular with Steam key i believe it's possible

Why would a user use Gameflip marketplace that is purely focussed on games, instead of using a marketplace that would sell everything?
Thank you for question. There are lots of platforms where people can buy different goods but unfortunately there are no such marketplace for gamers. Gaming industry is growing very fast and there is huge demand for it. The Gameflip marketplace platform has been transacting gaming digital goods since the beginning of 2016 with millions of dollars processed across 2 million gamers. We fully understand the risks associated with managing digital goods transactions and the strategy to scale the marketplace rapidly. Our plan is to enhance our platform to provide the highest levels of transparency and security by implementing blockchain and smart contracts. thnx for the reply. I understand gaming is a big industry, but I still dont see the need to have a marketplace specifically for gaming. Why not buy your games/hardware on a marketplace where you can also buy a book or dvd on the same order? Sometimes is better to have marketplace just for a specific type of items since people tend to trust it more. You wont go on ebay and buy medicines there just because they sell it. You will buy it in online pharmacy which can also sell dodgy stuff but it feels more trustworthy. Medicine is something completely different then a game though, its for your health often on prescription. Games is for free time/ relax / entertainment which can be grouped with more things. At least thats what I think, it seems like you think games belong in a separate group. |

Although how to make this a reality that's something the developers of GameFlip will be able to answer much better. If you type in Gameflip into a search engine you get to see this "Gameflip is the Trusted Marketplace for Gamers to safely buy & sell video games, gift codes, in- game items & skins, and everything gaming ..." Video games is the first thing they say so why wouldn't it be on the roadmap? And I don't get how writing it to the blockchain proves anything. |

Btw, 1700 ETH isn't bad amount tho! a presal is sometimes not sold out immediately, thats why it is a presale for early birds if this project would have been well known earlier, there would be much more investors of course. but it is still developing and ppl want to see, where it goes. |
