Robot Cache is a video game company established to allow for digital buying and selling of video games. It was founded in January 2018 by Brian Fargo, and expected to start business in the second quarter of 2018. Aimed to be a direct competitor to Steam, the digital storefront from Valve Corporation, Robot Cache differs itself by allowing users to sell games through the service, using encrypted blockchains in its distributed structure to track transactions rather than set by centralized servers. This reduces the cost of operating the storefront, and allows for a greater percentage of the game's price and of its resale to go back to the developer and publisher. The service will be backed by a new cryptocurrency IRON, which sellers will receive and can use to purchase games alongside real-world funds.
