“To play videogames using web 3 technologies, players experience a high barrier of entry. And, as interest in these types of video games continue to skyrocket, players are looking for ways to go from intent to enjoyment in as little time, with as little cost, as possible.”
“We enable players to play video games with NFTs at 100x lower price, providing more flexibility and a larger portfolio of NFTs to have fun,” said by LootRush.
The US-based LootRush was founded in 2015 to "make Web3 video games as easy to use as a mobile device or play video games on Steam."
