FTX Acquires Good Luck Games In Its Quest For NFT Gaming

FTX Good Luck Games

Bahamian-based FTX, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the world, has announced the acquisition of Good Luck Games in a bid to attract gamers into the world of NFTs and blockchain.  According to FTX’s CEO, in its mission to study the convergence of NFTs, cryptocurrency, and gaming, the company has found the ideal partner in the team at Good Luck Games. This acquisition represents the company’s first venture into in-house game production, as well as a significant step forward in its continuing endeavor to establish blockchain-based virtual assets as a widely recognized business plan in the gaming industry. As part of FTX’s broader commitment to climate and carbon neutrality, FTX’s Gaming team will concentrate on incorporating environmentally friendly blockchain technology into its operations. Why is FTX acquiring Good Luck Games? Good Luck Games (GLG) is an independent game development studio that is responsible for the development and publication of the famous upcoming card auto battle game Storybook Brawl. It was launched in 2019 by a group of seasoned card game designers and former professional card game players who wanted to do something different. FTX is now aiming to assist the team in developing as many games as they possibly can, with the goal of integrating the games as much as possible with FTX. As part of the advancement, FTX’s booth at this week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco will have an art-based NFT demo of Storybook Brawl on display for attendees. Crypto firms are attempting to capitalize on the expanding gaming sector by implementing NFTs and blockchain technology into their operations. A decentralized gaming future might be realized with the introduction of blockchain technology to the gaming industry, in which assets earned or bought in one game could be transferred and utilized in another game. It is FTX’s intention to take the lead in this new initiative, and the company believes that bringing on board the Storybook Brawl and the Good Luck Games team is a significant first step toward attaining widespread adoption of NFTs and blockchain technology across the gaming industry.

Value Research Center (VRC) authors Value Model integrating ESG and Sustainability Measures

KYOTO, Japan, Mar 23, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - The Value Research Center (VRC) launched an integrated Value Model of ESG and Sustainability measures in a new white paper issued today. With the shift from short term, profit-focused thinking towards long-term, sustainable, value-focused thinking, businesses globally need to answer a fundamental question: "What value are you providing our collective future?"

A Value Model for Responsible Business: The new Value Research Center (VRC) white paper was officially released today. The VRC initiative is aimed at improving company performance and social impact.

The VRC at Doshisha University was established in November 2021 to develop a Value Model that could guide any company to answer this question, so ensuring a more sustainable future. The VRC published its initial white paper, "Valuing Value", in June 2021, integrating 357 impact measurements from 15 of the world's top ESG and sustainability frameworks and developing a 7-stakeholder, 27-theme, 80-goal model to help businesses objectively and transparently measure and manage the value impacts that they have on their key stakeholders.

The VRC's new white paper entitled "A Value Model for Responsible Business", integrates an additional 346 impact measurements from 6 new frameworks into the initial model. These 6 frameworks include the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Prototype Climate-related disclosures; Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) guidance on metrics, targets and transition plans; Stockholm Resilience Center's Planetary Boundaries; United Nations Development Program (UNDP) SDG Impact Standards for Enterprises; International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards; and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) climate disclosures.

Professor Philip Sugai, Director of the VRC, says "Our team analyzed hundreds of existing impact measurements and organized these into 27 common themes, with 81 goals that any company, regardless of their size, industry or location can use to measure, manage and use to consistently increase the value they create for their stakeholders. Unlike existing ESG or sustainability reporting models, the VRC Value Model offers companies the ability to track their actual stakeholder impacts, using this data to create forward-looking strategies aimed at further increasing the value they create for and with these stakeholders."

Masato Yamazaki, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and VRC operating council member, said "The Value Model that our VRC research team offers is a more advanced approach than any other sustainability model or approach in existence today, since it can automatically help identify the root causes of the problems companies face via well-developed assessment tools."

"What is needed in sustainability efforts today goes beyond simple reporting," says Dr. Kumar Iyer, Mentor for Value Creation and VRC operating council member. "The VRC Value Model is based on objective metrics and quantifiable indicators which can be independently verified. This is uniquely different from any other sustainability reporting approach as it is directly linked to creating social impact."

The white paper is available for download at the VRC website:
