Description

Blockchain, NFTs, Crypto, and Gaming: Much Ado About Something TBD

This IDC Market Perspective has three main parts: a primer on consumer-facing blockchain, NFTs, and crypto for those who may be unfamiliar with this technology; five gaming-specific use cases that were featured or touched on at GDC 2022 (i.e., Sky Mavis' Axie Infinity, Wemade's MIR4, WHITE SANDS' White Sands Game, Pixowl's The Sandbox, and Dapper Labs' CryptoKitties) that help clarify how gaming and blockchain are currently connected; and IDC's assessment of what the combination of gaming with blockchain, crypto, and NFT technology may help unlock for marketplace vendors in 2023+."While it remains early days for the connection between blockchain tech and gaming tech, and while the 'crypto crash' of 2Q22 shined a very different light on this potentially important bridge, it's clear that several game developers and publishers have rolled out interesting experiments at the intersection of gaming and blockchain tech, and a few of them are working on novel approaches that could help unlock untapped value for a range of vendors and indie content developers next year." — Lewis Ward, research director, Gaming and VR/AR, IDC

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
