Crytek, the developer behind the PC-melting Crysis series and the original Far Cry, has teamed up with a startup named Crycash which will specialize in maintaining and distributing a cryptocurrency geared around the gaming community. Crycash will open its hypothetical doors on December 12 and begin taking investments from companies that will invest hard currency in the soon-to-be-distributed gamer cryptocurrency.
According to Crycash, its currency will be utilized in a variety of manners such as for payouts for looking at ads or completing certain tasks in games. They will also create a social platform centered around the currency to encourage growth. In an interview with GamesBeat, Crycash CEO Wachtang Budagaschwili said they also hope to use the currency for eSports and gaming tournaments. For Crytek's end of the bargain, they are said to want to use Crycash for the CryEngine marketplace.
