Australian users join Vietnamese in having the opportunity to be among the first testers and bug reporters of the Shiba Eternity game. Test reports of the SHIB CCG game in Vietnam show that it was a huge success. According to several reports, the demand was higher than expected and the Shiba team had to increase the capacity of the game servers fifty times to meet the demand.
When users asked for a first test of the SHIB CCG in their country, Kusama replied that the next event would probably be “upload day”. One of the requesters was a user from Turkey who said, “The Turkish community is waiting for the Shiba Eternity. When will the game be available for us to download from the App Store? »
Kusama responded by saying “soon”. Then he added that the game will be available for download worldwide and not just for some specific nations. According to him, the Shiba team wants to show the “shadowcats” that Shiba is a real force.
We are on schedule and Australia is our last test location, as I said before. However, I cannot give a specific time when the game would be available for download in the rest of the world.
He added that his desire is for downloading the game to break the App Store on download day. The main Shiba Inu developer also hinted that it might be possible to perform SHIB Burns through the game. But he would provide more details on this in a separate update before the download day.
Kusama added that Shiba Eternity is more than just a game and there will be lots of discussions before the upload day.
where will you be on download day?
The Shiba team is working to drive adoption of the game when it goes live. Last month, Shiba Eternity consultant William Volk showcased the game Shiba Eternity at the world’s largest video game trade show, Gamescom.
Companies can now receive LEASH payments
Crypto payment gateway platform, NOWpayments, has announced that businesses can start accepting LEASH payments from their customers. More importantly, they can always exchange their LEASH for fiat using the platform. LEASH is the second native token in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
According to NOWpayments, the fiat conversion is automated as it is performed by NOWpayments technical partner, Switchere. A side benefit of this automated feature for merchants is that they do not need the services of any middlemen before they can convert their LEASH crypto payments to fiat.
