Today we see the expansion and growing popularity of MMO games. Under this term, people recognize massively multiplayer online games — those games that are played by huge amounts of players at the same time online. Statistics show that MMO market reached almost thirty-one billion dollars in 2017. This type of games is traditionally divided into Free2Play group, which consists of games that don't require any payments to download and enjoy them, and Pay2Play group, which gathered games that have an established price that gamers need to pay.

In spite of the belief that Pay2Play can bring extra profits to developers, Free2Play games produce more profits — this can be explained by the fact that gamers spend money on purchasing in-game products. These games can be found by users on gaming platforms. You would think that this rising popularity of MMOs would make it easier for game developers in gaining profit, but current gaming platforms are inconvenient for them and they face numerous difficulties. One project called The Abyss came up with an innovative concept that laid a foundation of a new revolutionary gaming platform.

What is The Abyss?

It's a platform or a digital gaming portal that has a wide range of various F2P MMO's and cryptogames. Founders of this platform believe that current digital gaming platforms are inconvenient and dull since they don't supply developers with an ability to cooperate with their consumers. At the same time, gamers don't have an opportunity to reach out developers. Moreover, in order to popularize new games, developers are forced to use incompetent and expensive means of advertising that doesn't fulfill their goals. Current motivational programs for players are narrowed by a share of fees gathered from other users they bring in.

Abyss team came up with an idea to create a platform that will be convenient not only for gamers but for developers as well. The main difference of this platform from other gaming portals is that it empowers its gamers with a revolutionary opportunity to gain profit via in-game activities and other gamers’ payments. As for developers of MMOs, they as well will enjoy numerous advantages provided by this platform, such as, reducing their costs on advertising or receiving referral awards accomplished in different games provided by Abyss platform.

How it works?

Abyss platform has its internal currency called ABYSS tokens. Token owners will have such advantages as discounts for buying different in-games opportunities; they can be directly transferred to Ethereum wallets if there is such a need etc.

Developers will have an opportunity to get seventy percent of payments share with an opportunity to maximize it to a hundred percent or more. When the system receives payments from users, developers receive their share while other thirty percent will be stored by this system. According to a special referral program established by the company, these thirty percent of income will be distributed due to 1 to 5 referral levels.
