🧵Ultra | $UOS, the Next Steam?
Ever since Steam, a renowned gaming distribution platform, has banned all blockchain-based games, developers are left seeking an alternative to distributing their games.
This is where

Look, I'm still bullish on the

Even though $LORDS is (currently) down 85% since their ATH, there are NUMEROUS indications that they are here to stay:

1. What is Ultra?
Simply put, Ultra is a mixture of:
- Steam (gaming distribution platform)
- Opensea (NFT marketplace)
- Twitch (live streaming platform)
These 3 are pieces of evidence for an all-in-one software built for gamers, as well as developers.

So, what exactly is GameFi, and what differentiates them from traditional games?
Look no further as I'm about to simplify GameFi for you guys.
F2P Games like Valorant, COD: Warzone, Genshin Impact, and Apex Legends consist of many players.
Imagine asking them to pay x amount to play a Web3 game when sentiment around the industry is still negative and they've never spent a single cent to play those games above.

Last year saw the meteoric rise of Play-to-Earn.
This year we're seeing a rise of a new concept, Move-to-Earn (

So this leads me to wonder what the next (?)-to-Earn will be.

Since then, CV has:

• price soared from 0.17 to $16 (ATH); that's 94x
• whales took notice of the game
Take the profits, friends.
First impressions of

• Bonus points because it's an onchain (idle farming) game

5. Sum
To conclude, the concept of GameFi does have its flaws now, but it is still at a "discovery" stage.
Nonetheless, as long as teams keep building, and we enthusiasts keep supporting, we are definitely in it for the long run, for the trillion-dollar industry, for the game.
4c. Starting out (cont.)
To start out in a blockchain-based game, users NEED a wallet (i.e., MetaMask, Phantom) to play and earn.
Without it, some games only let you play but not earn. While some, don't allow both playing and earning.

4b. Earnings for Companies (cont.)
For GameFi companies, they are typically compensated in tokens, thus the more individuals that play the game and trade the coins, the more money they make.
The "+" sign for the new world of
#P2E
is going to be the fact that be it the market condition, a well-refurbished game will close one's ears and eyes to the noise overall market sentiment.
Gamers just game. And in this case, earns as well 🎮
4b. Earnings for Companies
For traditional gaming companies, one method of generating income is by publishing the game on a gaming distribution platform like Steam.
However, there'll be fees that the developers have to pay in order to sell their games.
Now that my March goals have been met, let me set some April ones:
1) Publish 2 threads - one educational, one gaming project

Stats aside, with all the incentives mentioned, I do see Ultra leading the GameFi space while being a serious competitor to Steam.
Investing in Ultra means that you're investing in the long run.

3b. For Developers (cont.)
As mentioned above, 88% of developers disagree with the heavy 30% distribution fees across several established platforms.
Ultra, on the other hand, only charges 15% which is half of what the rest are charging.
Furthermore, a referral grants 3% off!
3. The Solution
To demolish the current distribution monopoly, Ultra started constructing a first-class PC game distributing platform and marketplace.

5. Partners
I'm sure those who have known Ultra would know how solid their partnerships are. If not...
@Ubisoft
: an established video game company that created Assassins Creed, Far Cry, etc
@Theta_Network
: infrastructure for video-streaming and delivery network
and more!
2c. Lack of Opportunity
The influx of streamers and gaming influencers has shown that the world has changed, so does opportunity.
"App stores" do not benefit the users, only the developers.
Therefore, Ultra wants to create opportunities for both parties.
Mobile gaming is pretty much an untouched market when it comes to Web3 gaming.
This gaming studio, however, knows what's up!

We are still early, friends.
If I had to give an analogy, P2E, at the moment, is video gaming in the 1970s and 1980s when arcade video games, gaming consoles, and home computer games were offered to the general public.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither will P2E.
6. Conclusion
With a total of 3.24 billion gamers worldwide, onboarding only 5% of that population to Ultra would result in 160 million users.
Comparing it to Steam which only has 132 million users.
Of course, these are merely stats and may not come to fruition.

Why would they do that if they do not see the potential of this P2E narrative?
Why would they risk their time and effort for a narrative that has been heavily criticized?
It is simply because P2E could be the future of gaming.
