While the most famous TGC game by Activision Blizzard’s has allegedly been busy banning “Hearthstone” player Blitzchung from competing for one year after the gamer issued a pro-Hong Kong statement in a post-match interview Sunday. Blizzard banned champion Hearthstone player Chung “Blitzchung” Ng Wai for a year, when Blitzchung expressed support for Hong Kong during a post-game interview. Immutable, developer of TGC game Gods Unchained, tweeted Tuesday its support for Blitzchung and said it'll pay "all of his lost winnings." The developer will also invite him to its $500,000 tournament.

Blockchain game economies unlock the transformative potential of trustless, peer-to-peer exchange, with in-game items being controlled by digital smart contracts. Together, these features allow players to buy, sell or trade assets with limited censorship or restrictions, enabling free-market economies to exist for digital in-game assets.

“We’re leveling up the outdated practices of the gaming industry,” said CEO James Ferguson. “Players hold immutable rights for the items they purchase or can earn in Gods Unchained, and thankfully the community that has cropped up and this accomplishment in itself proves people are excited.”

In an announcement declaring the end of the sale, the developers also shared details about their new marketplace, set to launch in the next few days. Given the open nature of the assets, however, players will also have the opportunity to trade their in-game cards and items on a variety of 3rd party and community websites, none of which require Immutable’s permission to operate.
