Beam Foundation (@BeamFDN): Beam Gaming: Fueling millions of gamers behind the scenes

Beam Gaming: Fueling millions of gamers behind the scenes It’s no secret that the name Beam has a strong affiliation with gaming in the world of web3. We’ve grown over the years, especially in the past year. We’ve seen investments in other areas flourish and new opportunities rise. That opens new doors and brings a lot of excitement to the table. However, there’s one thing that started this whole journey. Once a gamer, always a gamer Do you remember the days sitting in your living room as a little kid playing your very first games? Whether you were there for the SEGA days, DOOM, Pokemon, World of Warcraft or started playing Minecraft as your first game, a true gamer will never forget his childhood games. The memories crafted there will last a lifetime, and will crown you a gamer forever. In some way, we feel the same with Beam. We’ve grown up as a gaming centered organization. Anything we did related to gaming in the early days. We’ve built a thriving community, invested in dozens of games, created software and hosted events, that all had one thing in common, and that’s gaming. In the meantime however, the years have matured us as an organization, and similar to a teenager growing up, our interests have widened. Left and right new opportunities presented themselves in the shape of investments in AI, RWA, DeFi and various infrastructure plays. We’ve helped launch various projects, eventually launched our own blockchain with the help of Avalanche, and presented an entire new brand that represents this growth earlier this year. There’s always that itch though, that gaming sentiment in the background simmering. Picking your winners deliberately It’s been rough in the world of web3 gaming lately. Gaming studios seem to shut down by the bushes and overall interest has been decreasing slowly. Although it’s sad to see, it’s perfectly in line with our thesis of moving away from an approach of having hundreds of games on board, to focusing on a select few games that we truly believe in. That means games like TrialXtreme, Forgotten Playland and a select few others that are currently building on the Beam Network. TrialXtreme is the perfect example of a project that’s been through it all, and has really taken the time to think through their approach in the world of blockchain. Whereas others rush their token launches to survive, TrialXtreme is deliberately waiting for the right moment, to first truly focus on their game. It’s refreshing to see this way of looking at things, instead of the blindsided greed that’s often present in this space. Already well over a million gamers in, TrialXtreme holds the power to single-handedly bring millions of transactions onto the Beam Network. As we empower their gamers through on-chain transactions, in-game assets that are eternalized through blockchain technology, a large quantity of BEAM tokens are expected to be required. Less visibility, more responsibility As we presented by the end of May, Beam has been evolving. As part of this transformation, we’ve decided to align our efforts on all levels. In practical terms, this means that the Beam Hub is no longer a part of our product suite. This gaming platform never reached the KPIs we’ve determined, and therefore we are now looking at different avenues. Similarly, our YouTube, Instagram and X channels that were merely focused on gaming, will find a new home shortly. The future of the gaming division will be less visible for the public eye, but we’re taking on more responsibility than ever before. Through the BeamSDK, we’ll continue to support the games that are currently building on the Beam Network, and empower their collective millions of gamers with robust infrastructure that unlocks features they’d otherwise not have access to. We’re very excited and curious how the gaming industry will evolve over the next decade. With GTA VI finally coming out, Esports growing like cabbage, AI being more present than ever before, and gamers having extremely high expectations, it certainly won’t be boring.
