"Blockchain technology brings broader choice, security and flexibility to both gamers and publishers," said Joerg Roskowetz, head of blockchain technology, AMD.

"Amplify Games' storefronts and influencer network can be an ideal gateway for mainstream gamers to be exposed, for the first time, to the true power and opportunities afforded by blockchain and NFTs in a comfortable and familiar environment," said Tony Caputo, chief executive officer of Amplify Games.
Amplify Games' inclusion into the BGA will enable new partnerships with blockchain technologies companies and inclusion of new game titles on the Amplify platform through relationships with game studio members.
