Gaming Company Allows Players to Win Cryptocurrency in Its New First-Person Shooter

On June 21, the WAR FIELD company unveiled its 'first-person shooter' game that allows players to win cryptocurrency.

Players can use WAR FIELD's Golder - an ERC-20-compliant, Ethereum-based cryptographic token - to bet on their character's "Life."

Although monetizing gameplay isn't a new move, WAR FIELD says the idea is attractive for gamers who are interested in making some extra money.

"What could be better than getting paid to play video games? It's been a gamer's dream," says Andrius Mironovskis, founder and CEO of WAR FIELD. "WAR FIELD is not about having the best graphics or giving players something entirely new. It's an exciting, fast-paced online game from the world's most popular genre that gives everyone a chance to win something real they can later withdraw and sell."

The new online 'first-person shooter' game is going to shape an entire blockchain-driven game economy that lets players win, withdraw and trade Golder - just like they would Bitcoin or Ethereum - the company's press release says.

According to Andrius Mironovskis, the WAR FIELD team decided to start with a shooter because these games command the largest market share in a more than 100-billion-dollar gaming industry.

The company plans to add more games to the Golder platform.

WAR FIELD's shooter rules imply players compete in deathmatch-style games, and, eventually, the winners will get Golder from the losers.

Unlike big tournaments, a player doesn't need to be an expert player to enjoy WAR FIELD and win cryptocurrency - one just needs to be slightly better than his or her opponents.

The company expects that the value of Golder will rise along side the popularity of its games.
