Sven Joha on Game Changer’s app store and lower developer fees

0:02i'm ashton addison from event chain for investment pitch media in the crypto coin show and today on blockchain interviews we have sven joha co-founder and the cmo of game changer sven welcome to the show and thanks for taking the time to be here today hello ashton and uh yeah i'm i'm pleasure to be here thank you very much yeah i'm really excited to dive

0:25into game changer uh the in-app currency platform that you've built and integrating blockchain and i would love for you to just kick it off for us with just a high level overview of game changer and the solutions that you're providing within the industry yeah thank you thank you for the for the start and um the mobile app market is the fastest growing segment in the it

0:48industry and uh on the other side the advantage of smartphones and mobile apps and perhaps it's the greatest technological phenomenon in the recent years and this trend is not stopping at this area will always be at the cutting edge of innovation applications for smartphones are always on up to date with the latest innovations however the handling of

1:12apps in connection between app stores and developers and users is not on this point of innovation and we as a company game changer will change the situation in the mobile industry and for that we we created or we will create an erc20 token based on the ethereum blockchain and we focus on three situations first situation is we have millions of apps with a million

1:40of in-app currencies at this moment in two of the biggest app stores uh like the play store and the episode of apple and uh we we want to create one in-app currency for all apps so we created an ipa ip api interface and this api interface is every developer can integrate this api interface in their apps so the token

2:10the gct can be used in every single app over the world in every country in every language or somehow the second is that we have two big absorbers in the world and the third doesn't matter at this moment but our uh the government in the european union and some more governments over the world want to

2:37stop the monopolization of apple and google and now we we want to position ourselves as a third big app store based on the blockchain and the third we want to create this social media platform based on the blockchain because at this moment we have big big social media platforms but uh everything is with one ceo and not the community and

3:09this would want to change definitely and thank you for that intro sven that's a great introduction uh for game changer and you're right there are quite a few issues with the app store and both app stores right now especially around developers putting their applications in and the currency part of it and the app store themselves taking such a large cut

3:31of uh the profits of of these app stores is that is that one of the competitive advantages of game changer in terms of bringing the the developers of the applications and the users of the applications together uh and just you know trying to remove out those intermediaries yeah we want to build a big community because at this moment the developer has a situation he creates

3:57an app and hope that the market take the app and he hope that he can earn money with with the app and the users hope that the developers creates good apps with high quality and the developers must must take focus on on marketing distribution must make a big quantity of apps to to get enough money for for the

4:24future and we want to change a little bit that the community say i want this kind of app and the developer can see ah now i understand what the user like and we bring them together that the developers can say ah i understand what you want and the users can say hey and take what you create because this is what i said i want so the community in our app store will

4:53inter interregate with a developer definitely and i was looking into you know how you're looking starting to build the community from from the ground floor up as you you know early on it's going to be tough to uh compete with these large app stores and conglomerates you know worldwide but it looks like you're already taking into account what the communities

5:16are are looking for and i saw that you know with the early incentivization of adoption of applications through game changer you're focusing on games as well as nfts could you talk about the apps and you know in the early focus from the launch of game changer yeah at this moment we created uh one gaming app and uh next month or this month at the end

5:45of this month we we launched two more apps also gaming apps because the gaming uh apps in the app market industry are the fastest growing types of apps and at this moment we we want to create two three or five apps per month on ourselves and on the other side we take developers to

6:12to our site and say hey use our api interface debate in your app and get what the community say take the feedback create your app new to to get more downloads more monetization opportunities and the nft sector is rapidly growing and we we take nfts for items and collectibles

6:40in in apps also on our social media platform in the future but at this moment i can't talk much more because we we are we're creating a registered major pattern and we expect the answer in the next few weeks so at this moment i can't talk about more nft opportunities and

7:07options we we are creating but i can say the future or in the future nfts are not the same as as this moment uh nfts are definitely well i'll be looking forward to seeing the nfts because i know game changer is going to be releasing some nfts uh yourself and as you mentioned there you're also creating in-house applications to start

7:34the uh you know the the app store which is which is an interesting twist because you're also help helping developers and having independents put their apps in as well um can can you talk about you know the monetization the incentives for developers uh to put their apps into game changer uh rather than in the main app stores yeah definitely um the the

7:59the app stores at this moment take 30 up to 30 fees and uh we change this situation for developers because we take less fees we put down the fees near to zero percent like uh three or five percent because for example fortnight last year made 1.8 billion dollars in the year and are gone from the app

8:28stores because apple and google take up to 30 fees and on the mobile mobile smartphones or tablets you can't play this game at the moment because they said epic games we go to to to the pc for for desktop version and now we we set every developer in the situation that they can say the fees

8:55are more or minimal so now they take more money about that situation because less fees are more money for the developers on the other side you can take the feedback from the community that you create more quality apps more quality means they put the token in your app and if you want to get more money

9:23then take the feedback and and make your app better that the users say ah now he understand he take my feedback now i give you my tokens and on the other side we are creating something like app store oscars that the community can say this was the best app in this year because small developers have

9:50not much money for marketing or distribution and sometimes they have big ideas but now on in millions of apps they're not seen from the users from the community and we changed the situation because now marketing and distribution doesn't matter because we are making marketing and distribution for

10:17the whole app store for the whole developers so they can now focus on quality and with more quality with a good idea with enough feedback from the community the community can say ah now that's a good that's a good app that's a perfect app and this one i set to to the best app this year and the other one is was the best graphic the other one is

10:46best sound the other one is the best gameplay or other apps like fitness apps ah with this app i lost 20 kilogram weight and this is uh in my opinion very good and all the users say the same okay now this fitness app is on uh on place one and uh not like i pay for play place one and now i'm on place one and everybody

11:14can see me make a good app with a good quality and you are on place one the community decides definitely and i think community-led projects uh will prevail you know and the crypto communities seem to be so strong and working together to grow a more fair transparent and honest uh applications and platforms so i think your team's on the right track in that sense and i'm curious

11:39in the interaction of the developers launching the applications on the app store and the participants actually using the applications can you talk about how the game changer gc token fits into uh both of those users and and how it interacts with the platform um i i must i must ask what you exactly mean because yeah

12:08no problem so you know i'm i just want to know more about the gc token in the developers do they require it to put the apps in the app store or do users require to pay with gc token or is that an option and how else is gc token used within the game changer platform overall okay now now i understood what you would mean thank you for your explaining um

12:34the users can use the gc token on on multiple sites the first is to use in-app to to get a premium account or to get ahead that you are faster running in in some gameplay apps uh such an app to to get something in the app the other side is you can hold there the token

13:02to to wait until the price is up on the exchange and use or sell the token to get money or you can you can use the token peer-to-peer if some friends say ah now i i need 10 token to get my head and you can transfer your token to your friend that you will work together in some maps

13:32well on the other side you can as a developer you you or as a developer you we give you some token okay you you take your app putting on our app store we give you token that you can use your token or give them to your community to build in community for your app and after that the the people use tokens in your app if you make a good app and

14:03then as a developer you can decide will i take the money now or i wait and get more money in the future or i transfer to to my community or something else the the opportunities are much more and uh free to decide for everybody definitely well thank you for that sven and i'd love to know

14:31just a little bit more you know we don't have a lot of time left in the interview but a little bit more on the current snapshot of where the platform is at right now you mentioned that you were creating some applications developers are able to put applications in are developers able to add apps to the app store right now and are users already able to download

14:51you know is the production version live or are you still in you know at what early stage are you at um we we just started in march this year and uh in the end of this year we're launching the platform okay this is our plan but in this moment you can use the apps the apps we are created are also on our website

15:18but you can you see in the apple store in the google play store and about our api interface you can use the token right now and we we created a situation that the users go in the app take a link go outside the app to use the token and go back to the app this means for for the big app stores

15:48there's no transfer in-app that's why developers don't have to pay this much fees at this moment we created a new situation that's great yeah that's that's it is a big fee to incur so i'm glad that your team has worked that out and for the viewers that are looking to follow along with the launch of the platform when it does happen and to learn more about game changer

16:17and the applications for developers and for users what's the best way for them to learn more and to get involved with the game changer community yeah the best is to go on our website gc menus token.com and there we have much more accounts like telegram linkedin facebook instagram twitter and much more to to look at something you like if you like twitter

16:47go to twitter if you like facebook we are also on facebook sounds great sven well i will leave all of those social links and the gc token website uh in the description box below thank you so much for taking the time to come on to talk about game changer i'm looking forward to the launch of the platform let's follow up in the near future thank you very much

17:10for for the interview and i i look great in the future you
