Kennett Square, PA, Feb. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Good Gaming, Inc. (OTCQB: GMER) (the "Company"), an innovative brand leading the gaming industry across multiple segments in the space since 2008, today announced the launch of its "Buddy Masters" program. The new program, which leverages the passion of loyal members of the Company's Discord community, was created to accelerate the onboarding of new players into MicroBuddies™, Good Gaming's first-of-its-kind NFT game.
"Our Buddy Masters program will help new MicroBuddies™ players navigate the complexities of beginning gameplay," said David B. Dorwart, Chairman and CEO of Good Gaming. "A Buddy Master is a user that has been recognized by our team as a dedicated member of our community, who has shown initiative and passion for helping new and existing members of the MicroBuddies™ community, and who has shown their vast knowledge for the MicroBuddies™ game. These are the users who help drive and add immense value to our growing community."
Buddy Masters will be hand-selected and invited by Discord staff to take a proficiency quiz. If they pass the quiz and demonstrate advanced knowledge of the game, they will become a Certified Buddy Master. Certified Buddy Masters will also receive a special role within Discord designating them as "Certified". Additional perks of the role include a special rank separated from average users, special color in discord, starting discord role icon for the Buddy Master Program, discord avatar PFP, and prioritized positioning in any community event(s) if limited spots are available.
In the spirit of continuing to reduce the barrier of entry and onboard the game more quickly for new MicroBuddies™ players, we have also created a Donation Program, which is expected to launch within 60 days. The Donation Program will allow players with extra MicroBuddies™, unwanted "Buddies'', extra GOO (where applicable), or MATIC assets to access a wallet that allows new players to purchase MicroBuddies™ at no or low cost. This is expected to be one of the more popular of many tools Good Gaming will make available to support its Certified Buddy Masters in accomplishing the vision of the program.
Additionally, Good Gaming's MicroBuddies™ merchandise store will officially launch this week. An outgrowth of the Company's lifestyle approach to MicroBuddies™ and a demonstration of the strength of the game's rapidly growing community, this highly requested store enables game fans to purchase shirts, hoodies, hats, mugs, bags, and more. The merchandise contains popular discord phrases, artwork, and memes frequently used by our community. The Company plans to regularly add new merchandise and will continue to evaluate requests from its Discord community regarding new product additions to the store. Shopping at the store is already underway at https://shop.microbuddies.io/ and a link to the store will be added to the main site this week.
