It comes as no surprise that the economy is kind of on the rocks right now. Despite recent declarations that we're not experiencing a recession, including a concerted effort to officially revise the definition of the word, the truth is that we have entered another recession. We're not going to get all political, we're purely stating the truth of the situation; we're not going to entertain the blame game. On to what you'll need to know. This will be brief.
It's not that we weren't feeling it for the last approximately three weeks, it's that we've been hard at work stepping up efforts to make an important transition. No, Gamers Pointe isn't dying. Instead, we decided that this is the most important time in our existence to drive revenue growth. Our team shrank due to the pandemic, and the recession threatens to force more members to leave in pursuit of more income and stability. That being said, effective immediately, we are taking an extended intermittent hiatus here on the site. We'll post updates as we are able, however, our time will be most dedicated to launching our stream on Bigo, expanding to Twitch, launching our YouTube channel, hiring, and fundraising. We're just stretched too thin as of July, so hunting down news is just something that we aren't able to do consistently at this time. But don't worry, we'll report big news that we care about. Bigo will be the best place for us to initially grow our community due to its kinder exposure algorithm. We won't be joining an agency there, so we won't be sourcing any revenue from that site. There will be no pressure to send gifts. Instead, we'll be promoting our Twitch stream. Once we hit our follower goal, we'll drive followers who want to contribute to Twitch. From there, we'll be focusing on raising funds to buy land and plant seeds to reforest that land. This is especially important, as we'll be sourcing lumber, building, and replanting as we build our first location. Hopefully the team will be significantly larger by the time we begin construction, in which case, we'll launch our YouTube channel with a playlist showing the work as it's being done. This is also when we intend to hire. So, fundraising will continue until the location is built and fully staffed. At that point, fundraising will end and it will open for business. Because our posts will be quite infrequent during this period, it's more important than ever to share our content and check back for new information. We hate that we have to make concessions right now, but we have to do all we can to survive the recession. |
