Horizon raises another $5M to put virtual items on the blockchain and launch its first game

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
If a player picks up an item in an online video game, who owns that item? The player, or the company that made the game?In most cases, the
answer is probably closer to the latter
giving it away, etc.Horizon Blockchain Games is trying to shift up the idea of ownership in games (starting with their own title), and
that item to be verifiably traded, sold or given from player to player
There are currently around 500 different cards in all, and each card comes in two different flavors: silver and gold.ANY card in the game
couple bucks to obtain the cards the playerbase deems most powerful
or bought from other players on the open market
While silver cards can always be bought for $2, gold card values are meant to vary more wildly by rarity/demand.Cards in SkyWeaver are
hidden away behind the scenes
If a player wants to handle things themselves, cards can be transferred to any other Ethereum-based wallet.SkyWeaver has been in private
beta since around July of last year
The round is led by returning investors Initialized Capital, and backed by Golden Ventures, DCG, Polychain, CMT Digital, Regah Ventures and
ConsenSys.The company says that SkyWeaver should roll into an open, public beta later this year.
