Razer gaming incubator zVentures issues call for Web3 submissions
Razer, a U.S.-Singaporean consumer electronics company best known for its gaming hardware and peripherals, has sent out a call for new Web3 partners and game submissions.
Citing the market need for quality games built on blockchain technology, a zVentures blog post details Razer’s push for increased developer involvement.
“We believe that the foundation of any successful game (be it Web 2.0 or Web 3.0) is immersive and engaging gameplay,” reads the blog post, which goes on to state that “many blockchain games on the market today focus primarily on utilizing blockchain technology rather than creating an engaging and enjoyable gameplay experience, resulting in a lack of player interest and retention.”
We’re excited to announce the zVentures Web 3 Incubator for game companies & developers. By supporting companies in the creation of Web 3 games, our program aims to drive the growth & adoption of blockchain technology in the industry.
