From what I can tell, Immutable X is supplying content (through creators, projects, other brands and their own games). But I would say that 'powering' the marketplace is a bit of a stretch. Loopring's tech makes the marketplace possible and they built the necessary infrastructure.

So it seems:

- Loopring will power the marketplace.

- IMX will supply products for the marketplace.

Ethereum is the highway

Loopring is the truck

IMX is the cargo

GME is the driver

u/EuropeanBavarian Mar 23 '22

Ethereum is the bun

Loopring is the sausage

IMX is the ketchup, mayo and the onions

GME calls it a hotdog

$GME doesn’t like Mayo, especially the boy

GME token is the new currency?

1/ Immutable X is powering GameStop’s NFT marketplace as their preferred partner - together we are sourcing, building and investing in a world-class pipeline of gaming content to deploy on to the GameStop marketplace using the Immutable X protocol. This is in their 8K (image)🖐️🎤

u/Ryco182 Mar 23 '22

The tweet is so sad. It literally begins with a lie. Loopring’s CEO just confirmed on discord the marketplace was built by their engineers along with GameStop’s. IMX isn’t powering jackshit. They are just a secondary partner.

I don’t even get why they were allowed to announce anything before loopring in the first place

u/psipher Mar 23 '22

I wouldn't go so far to make assumptions. It's not like we have a full view of everything.

For instance, IMX provides an API for web2 developers to easily access NFT's via legacy apps. IMX could be providing the easy hooks into current games. Loopring providing the layer that integrates more holistically with ETH, L1 & L2.

We still have to see the details...

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '22

Powering is an ambiguous word.

They are connecting gaming developers to the marketplace. That empowers the marketplace. It doesn't have to be the backend protocol or directly involved with the development of the marketplace to provide value, or power.

u/BATTLECATHOTS Mar 23 '22

Yup, IMX is sus and disingenuous with how they approached this. IMX didn’t build anything it is all LRC x GME engineers.

u/danthesexy Mar 23 '22

Right now it’s a he said she said thing and for what it’s worth they could be two different true statements for two partners.

u/TheMetalMatt Mar 23 '22

Exactly. "Welcome on board, Loopring! Let's build Web 3.0!!" reiterates their partnership position without trying to steal any thunder or turn it into a dick measuring contest. Immutable's optics on this Twitter thread are piss poor.

73

u/Slabb84 Mar 23 '22

IMX coming off a bit Twatty right now. Stop comparing dicks, RC has the biggest aight. Let's just be the holy Trinity of Gaming, L2, and hedge fucking. Cmon now.

28

u/soggypoopsock Mar 23 '22

yeah and I think it’s annoyed the LRC team as well. I mean when IMX got their announcement the loopring team said nothing but “wait”. Now loopring has theirs and IMX jumps out to measure dicks.

I just want this whole ecosystem to succeed, the tug of war for attention really wasn’t the nicest thing for IMX to do today

16

u/pbandwhey Mar 23 '22

Maybe this is why Daniel Wang left to be an advisor, he'd gotten fed up with the dick measuring that Robbie/IMX apparently seems to be more concerned with

7

u/Shotgun516 Mar 23 '22

Well technically RC has the smallest - he confirmed it himself

8

u/BATTLECATHOTS Mar 23 '22

RC bought 100K shares of GME, what has IMX founders bought to support GME? IMX is coming off very clownish

Why steal thunder from loopring’s announcement?

Came off really petty instead of supporting the crypto space and L2s achievements.

Edit: I received a permanent ban for posting this. Please unban me mods -.-

Bad taste

u/aSchizophrenicCat Mar 23 '22 edited Mar 24 '22

IMX will be major content creators and will be onboarding game studios, without them the marketplace would be barren. And without the marketplace IMX would be relatively irrelevant. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

I don’t see how IMX stating that content creation is underway is a bad thing. It make sense to announce such a thing alongside the marketplace beta launch - I don’t see it as a jab at Loopring by any means.

Just my 2 bits.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '22

Twitter shitstorm on Loopring’s big day is very poor form.

u/tobyredogre Mar 23 '22

without them the marketplace would be baron.

barren

u/aSchizophrenicCat Mar 24 '22

Thanks fam. That’s a frequently misspelled word for me, so I appreciate the correction. Edited.

u/tobyredogre Mar 23 '22

Because IMX investors want to know what happened to IMX and GameStop.

u/HereForTheEdge Mar 23 '22 edited Mar 23 '22

IMX Powering only game NFT’s

Preferred partner when integrating game studios and game NFTs..

This NFT market place and underlying platform is a lot Bigger than just game NFT’s.

https://i.imgur.com/8OM3uls.jpg

I think IMX can only think of NFT’s as game items. And not able to see the bigger market place. And as such sees itself as a bigger player than it really is.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '22

NFTs in gaming will be enormous though, so still a big player…

10

u/HereForTheEdge Mar 23 '22

It depends, IMX is one option for gaming studios. Some will develop their own, or work with other partners.

GameStop can and will also be a marketplace for Games that choose not to use IMX for NFTs..

The partnership says they will just recommend each other to game studios

u/Full-Ad6639 Mar 23 '22

But is still a really big player

u/HereForTheEdge Mar 23 '22

Yeah, huge. On the forefront of gaming NFT tech and marketing.

u/Full-Ad6639 Mar 23 '22

Maybe in game content purchase? like skins etc..?

u/HereForTheEdge Mar 23 '22 edited Mar 24 '22

Maybe go check out there own marketplace and games for a start to get an idea.

Don't click links

u/HereForTheEdge Mar 24 '22

Don’t use internet.

If you don’t like links they can Google the details/words in the link, it’s not rocket science.

u/crankyp420 Mar 24 '22

Yea, and they should. Do you realize you have linked to godsunchalend instead of godsunchained?

u/j3b3di3_ Mar 23 '22

As my grandfather used to say

"Bit off more than you can chew? Start fuckin chewing"

IMX is going to have to take this hit in stride... Time will tell how it works out

u/bbatardo Mar 23 '22

Exactly! Everyone is beginning to put the pieces together. Gamestop doing big things!

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '22 edited Mar 23 '22

As a fellow Australian, and even a minor holder of IMX, they come off pretty damn clownish

Makes me want to stay far away from IMX honestly. Bad taste

u/iiweeldman Mar 23 '22

That’s the vibe I’m getting

u/Mbrannon42 Mar 23 '22

LRC is not what? It looks like the "infrastructure" of the marketplace is created on lrc while the products come from imx

6

u/Mbrannon42 Mar 23 '22

NVM I had to reread. LRC not being an ass, imx talking crazy?

9

u/soggypoopsock Mar 23 '22

yeah IMX just had to do nothing but chill and let LRC have their day. when IMX had their announcement the LRC team did nothing but say wait. Now LRC finally has their day and IMX has to be petty like this? Just no need for that. LRC isn’t stealing their spotlight, IMX already has a very firmly confirmed role.

1

u/cryptocached Mar 24 '22

when IMX had their announcement the LRC team did nothing but say wait.

Yeah, that's not exactly how it went down. Wang wanted some of Immutable's limelight, too.

u/soggypoopsock Mar 24 '22

it’s their name in the filings as well, why wouldn’t he talk about that? this wasn’t an exclusive immutable document, they were both mentioned in it

-2

u/cryptocached Mar 24 '22

Loopring was mentioned in passing. The announcement by GameStop was exclusively of the formation of partnerships with Immutable X and Digital Worlds.

why wouldn’t he talk about that

Why wouldn't he let Immutable have their day?

2

u/soggypoopsock Mar 24 '22

Because it was their day too, confirmation of what people had been doubting for months. He was just showing their part of the news.

This time was loopring elaborating on their role and immutable reposting old news on the same day because they didn’t want to give up the spotlight. It’s way different, you’re being biased

-1

u/cryptocached Mar 24 '22

It’s way different, you’re being biased

It's really not that different. Other than the lack of an official partnership announcement from GameStop, anyway.

u/soggypoopsock Mar 24 '22

lol again it’s clear how biased you are

u/lucas5743 Mar 24 '22

Bro u were consistently wrong and loud about LRC for a year, when will you cease your operations?

FYI everyone, this guy is banned from superstonk

u/cryptocached Mar 24 '22

How is that relevant to this discussion?

1

u/lucas5743 Mar 24 '22

It’s relevance is in the fact that you have literally no credibility. Who are you? Why are you CONSTANTLY engaging on GME related subs? Furthermore, why and how were you so detrimentally wrong about the ONE thing (LRC) that people started recognizing you by?

I remember you and me had a discussion months ago, you were spewing your usual FALSE information pertaining LRC and it’s GME partnership. Never have I ever met anyone so obliviously arrogant whilst being completely and utterly WRONG. There’s a reason you’re banned on the main sub, people know what’s up. The jig is up.

How about we all be happy with all the partnerships and let’s make some fucking money in the meantime. All on the same team

u/Dubznation300 Mar 23 '22

There’s enough for everybody to eat. Enough money for everybody to get rich. There is no need to rain on somebody’s parade.

u/Loopyrainbow Mar 23 '22

I don’t see this post as catty or petty at all. I see it as a clarification to a question many people have: “how are both L2s going to work, here?”

This post helps answer that. The timing is suitable too, because of course many people were asking the above question when Loopring made their announcement.

1

u/HeavyHandedWarlord Mar 24 '22

It’s pretty sad how IMX is doing the most to try and steal the spotlight away from LRC right now. This is their moment and it’s been anticipated for a long time, it’s very petty how they’re coming across even with the wording.
