Key details / What do we like? 🎯

Free mint is something which we always like

They have got a legit product already up and combined with opportunities provided to invest into other upcoming early stage projects like ETH Lizards is really commendable

I really like Snapshot driven approach they’ve take to keep the community engaged in taking community-led decisions

What are we keeping an eye on? 👀

As with any other gaming specific project, the competition is always high, but i still love the entertainment route (esports) that they’ve taken

Their product Gamerbase is something what I’ve seen being done before as well by a few other companies but has not really been able to take off, especially from a monetisation POV - will be interesting to see how they get going with it

Usually having many partnerships is great, but especially distributed across sectors like core gaming, esports and entertainment requires a lot of resources and spend. Since they raised only $2m last time, I think they would definitely require to raise a significant amount via the token sale and have a proper spend / burn in line to sustain

As compared to a traditional company, they’ve had a more community-driven approach to their raise, efforts and decision making process - this is something very unique and diff I’ve seen across similar companies; would love to see how this grows as the company scales

Currently, there are not many other games / products that are being built on top of the XBorg protocol other than the one’s that the team itself is working on - real adoption might only come in once the organic building takes off (developer grants should be that vertical i feel)

Closing thoughts 💭

I think there’s no doubt why you should not be minting the NFT here, I’d also look to directly get the token pre-sale allocation once they’re able to get more activity and product launches going

Overall love the real utilities that are being provided to the holders across rev share, voting, airdrops, discounts and much more

Again, these are just my individual thoughts and not any financial, legal, tax or any other form of advise. Please do your own research and invest accordingly!
