by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/13/2020 08:27 AM | source: | 18 comment(s)

Powered by AMD, Robot Cache is the world’s first videogame marketplace to buy PC games, resell them when you’re done and mine to earn free ones—and it’s entering open beta with a special sale May 12 to June 12.

AMD Radeon graphics cards and Ryzen processors users will be able to get free games fast with a special advantage: a 5% perma boost until 12/31/2020.

PLAY: Choose from a huge selection of AAA and indie games
MINE: When not in use, enlist your PC and Radeon graphics card to earn IRON, credit for free games on Robot Cache™
SELL: Sell your games when you’re done with them

Built on blockchain, the Robot Cache blockchain platform helps ensure the security of the games being bought and sold in an immutable, decentralized way and allows Cachers to easily mine when they are not using their gaming rig, and in exchange earn IRON to buy free games.

Check out Robot Cache and its special sale until June 12 and start playing!

Doesn't sound like a good deal for publishers.

Interesting idea though, but I guess AMD will optimize mining algorithm to benefit AMD CPU/GPU, so they can sell more hardware for mining. Seems shady to me.

That is not an issue, for me they can also lock mining to their cpu/gpu, is their platform anyway.
My question is, where is going my cpu power, to do what?
They are not giving you games for free because you mine a coin that is just to buy/sell games.

Some transparency on exact mining use would be wise.

Personally I would prefer a steam key resale market that is less corrupt than G2A.
Mining may be an interesting concept, but more worried that power costs will exceed game value. Might be worth simply buying crypto directly if AMD is going to enter the mining market and drive prices up?
