Freeverse's Co-Founder & CEO Dr. Alun Evans to host session on 'How to Unlock the Multi-billion Dollar Asset Trading Market' at Game Developers Conference 2023.

BARCELONA, SPAIN, March 8, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freeverse, the platform on a mission to power the future of digital ownership by leveraging blockchain technology to create Living Assets™, the industry’s first truly dynamic NFTs, has announced that it will be featured at the 2023 Game Developers Conference (GDC) at booth S1439. Freeverse’s Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Alun Evans will also be hosting the session on 'How to Unlock the Multi-billion Dollar Asset Trading Market – Without Turning Gamers into Gamblers'.

GDC is one of the world’s most influential industry conferences for video game developers, and GDC 2023 will be held virtually and in-person at San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center from March 20-24, 2023. The annual summit has been held for more than 35 years and attracts some of the biggest names in the industry to discuss changing technology and gaming trends.

Dr. Alun Evans, Co-founder and CEO of Freeverse, will be providing a novel outlook on the future of gaming and digital assets, hosting a session on 'How to Unlock the Multi-billion Dollar Asset Trading Market – Without Turning Gamers into Gamblers'. The session will take place on Tuesday 21st March in Room 3009 in the West Hall from 3:00 - 3:30 pm.

The 'gray market' for in-game items such as skins, weapons, etc. traded on sites like SkinBaron, Gamerflip, and PlayerAuctions is estimated to be above $40 billion. However, none of this revenue is going to the game creators. In this session, Dr. Evans will discuss the best ways to unlock this market opportunity and permit the legal trade of in-game items without falling into the trap of speculative NFTs. Permitting in-game items to be legally traded not only gives gamers what they clearly want, but it also increases retention and opens up new long-tail revenue streams for the game itself.

This session is tailormade for studio heads and executives, game designers, economy designers and product managers; particularly for multiplayer and F2P games. Attendees will take away an in-depth understanding of the methods used to unlock and monetize asset trading within their games, including the benefits with regards to player retention and long-tail revenue.
