Pimax Launches VR Content Incentive Program

Company issues call to independent programmers to create virtual reality content for their new Pimax Crystal and Pimax Portal platforms

Pimax, developer & manufacturer of innovative VR products, today introduced a new Software Ecosystem Incentive Program to enlist independent developers to create new VR software for their Crystal headset and Portal four-in-one gaming device.

Pimax is now offering financial and marketing incentives to help independent VR developers create new software titles for the Pimax Store ecosystem. The Pimax Software Ecosystem Incentive Program includes:

  • Free Pimax Portal developer kits for 1,000 programmers
  • Cash bonuses for 50 developers who collaborate with Pimax to create release-ready content
  • A "choose your own revenue split" incentive for the top 50 developers
  • Free advertising via social media, the Pimax Store, and other channels for the top 50 cooperating developers

The Pimax Store has products from arcade games to sims, educational content and videos, and users from B2C and B2B sectors, all over the world.

Robin Weng , founder of Pimax, said, "Pimax has created the next-generation VR 3.0 hardware with the release of the Pimax Portal, but great hardware needs outstanding software to shine. We have found that many of the most gifted developers work for small studios or independently. Through the Pimax Software Ecosystem Incentive Program, we plan to enlist the most innovative and talented developers to show what's possible with Pimax-powered virtual reality."

Developers in attendance at Pimax Frontier are excited about the possibilities of this new VR platform:

  • "Portal feels like a high-quality device all around. It's really cool to see how it works and how easy it is to switch between handheld and VR modes," said one developer.
  • "Compared to any other standalone, the Crystal [headset] will allow us, developers, to push our projects to the limit," said another Pimax Frontier attendee.

Pimax has held a roadshow through Europe and the US, meeting many developers such as here on VR Days in Rotterdam .

  • Sean Gilleece : "I absolutely love the headsets and the possibilities they show."
  • Samuel Neubauer (on the Portal): "Really cool to see how easy it is to switch between modes (handheld/VR)"
  • Curtis English : "The visuals were great, very good clarity, by far the best I've used."

GameStop Frenzy Cools, E*Trade Considers Roaring Kitty Ban

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
