Diu lay Lo Mo

A 19 year old graduate from University of B.C. who is on his second start up company who has made about $4 million in financing to advertise a new program that gives real rewards from vitamin drinks to $100 Sony tablet. This new venture is called Kiip and which launched about a month ago. Brian won had even beat facebook's Mark Zuckerberg as the youngest entrepreneur to raise venture capital funding. Many big corporations are supporting this venture such as Sony, 1-800 Flowers, Dr. Pepper and Sephora. In games when you get the highest score and beat everyone around the world you would only get badges or the pride of being number 1 and this program finally gives people real rewards to play for and competition gets more challenging. It already feels great for players to become number one in the world and gives pride but people get disappointed when they have played so much to get better skill wise and the only reward is a banner or some kind of badge. What that is called is a buzz kill and Kiip is giving those bad ass gamers the reward they have been earning for being number 1 in the world. Kiip isnt creating the games and are keeping it a down low on which games are using Kiip so players don't play it once they know a nice reward is up there. They are going to track down the existing players and how it goes with the program and it will be on a start up of mobile games and allowing game developers to put Kiip in their games. These rewards are only going to be available in United States but Canada will follow up soon. DATS WASSUP MAH NIGGUH


Reflection:
I think this new program Kiip is a great idea because players around the world have beeng competing each other just for pride. Now players can have that extra reward of winning something and skill levels of players would rise because they want to play to win the prize. The idea of having to keep a secret on what games that are using Kiip is a great idea because it shows which players have been number 1 or have achieved any other virtual awards. Lots of people think games are a waste of time and how you do not get anything out of it and Kiip changes that, gives players a chance to win a great real prize and hopefully this program develops a lot and rewards get bigger and better.
