Cloudzen offers significant synergies with Emerge Gaming’s Arcade X platform, which caters for different segments of the online gaming community. The platform targets 2 billion mobile gamers worldwide[1] and has significant advantages over the PC and console game segment, which also represents a combined 255 million gamers.
Global Distribution Agreement
The strategic partnership provides Emerge Gaming with exposure to a wider range of mobile gamers to increase users on both platforms and solidify its revenue generating capabilities.
The Global Distribution Agreement will see Emerge Gaming enter a number of first world markets to promote its Arcade X and GameCloud’s technology. This includes an initial rollout into South America, Africa, India, Australia, United States of America and the United Kingdom.
Prior to entering a new territory, it has been agreed that a territory schedule will be established highlighting each party’s project contributions, payment schedules, specific personnel and background intellectual property used for that territory. In recognition for what each party brings to the partnership, the parties intend for any profits that arise from a project within a territory shall be distributed as set out in the relevant territory schedule. As each territory will have its profit distribution agreed separately, the financial impact of the partnership is not determinable at this time.
During the term of the two-year agreement, Cloudzen grants Emerge Gaming an exclusive licence to use its GameCloud intellectual property. Emerge Gaming will distribute the GameCloud into select territories with users paying a monthly subscription fee.
Outlook
Cloudzen is well positioned to disrupt the online gaming community with their innovative technology and view themselves as the “Netflix” or “Spotify” for games.
Emerge Gaming is gearing up for major developments in early 2019. With the release of Arcade X’s new iteration and the rollout of GameCloud in its first territory, Emerge Gaming is positioned to revolutionise mobile gaming globally. Gaining a foothold in the above-mentioned territories is critical to Emerge Gaming’s successful distribution of GameCloud technology and given the necessary exposure, the GameCloud offering is expected to gain significant traction.
Emerge Gaming’s Chief Executive Officer, Greg Stevens, commented:
“Our strategic partnership with Cloudzen and its revolutionary GameCloud platform offers Emerge Gaming a significant opportunity to push the boundaries of cloud gaming, and accelerate revenue growth across a number of new territories in the near term.”
Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Cloudzen, Robin Tan, commented:
“Once you experience game streaming, you will not go back to traditional gaming. Our partnership with Emerge Gaming will allow us to continue the disruption of the online gaming community, like the Netflix and Spotify of the gaming world.”
