Games Events Marketplace Unchained. It's a gamer's event.
Imagine a world where gaming events are truly community-driven. Where every event is a unique experience, organized by passionate individuals and supported by a global network of gamers and developers.
In recent years, the gaming community has faced numerous challenges, including the de-platforming of developers and the division between gamers and creators. Traditional gaming events often have gatekeepers who control access and push specific agendas, leading to a disconnect between gamers' wants and what is delivered.
To introduce a public-driven brand for gaming events, offering a censorship-resistant and permissionless platform for event publishing and promotion. This empowers users to create any event they desire, leveraging the growing brand for discovery without any obligations to the 'brand' itself.
Anyone can organize an event under the GEM-U banner.

Event quality is regulated by the community through a voting system.

Explain this to me like I'm five?
Imagine if PAX, the big gaming event, was in the public domain, meaning anyone could use and organize under its name. Now, let's say you were a developer who got canceled or banned from attending the official PAX event, and you didn't agree with their decision.
So, you and others who felt the same way decided to create your own version of PAX. You used the same name and started making your event even more awesome. Over time, people started noticing how great your event was, and they started coming to your version of PAX instead. This way,
the best PAX event will reach the top, identified by who's running it, and everyone gets to enjoy a fantastic gaming event.
Why is this a big deal anyway?
Before GEM-U, if you got canceled or banned from an event, you'd have to start from scratch to build a new brand and raise awareness. This would take a lot of time and money to get people to notice and participate in your new event.
With GEM-U, that issue disappears. Since GEM-U is in the public domain, you can use the existing brand to create your event. The best GEM-U events naturally rise to the top, making it easier for people to discover and join your event without the usual hurdles.
This makes this the (first?) most proper gaming events brand for and by the market
Who'll do all of this?
At the start, a group of passionate and influential individuals will take the lead, driven by their desire to solve this issue in the gaming industry. They'll build the GEM-U platform and launch some initial events to get things rolling.
From there, its within the hands of the public, the market, the people. The platform will continue to grow and evolve, powered by the collective efforts of its users, whether the original team remains involved or not.
