===Robot Cache=== Fargo announced the founding of [[Robot Cache]], a new digital games storefront for personal computer games expected to go live in Q2 2018. Robot Cache will deliver games via [[blockchain]]s which can be decrypted or re-encrypted through the service; this will effectively allow players to buy and sell digital games without publishers fearing that the original owner can retain a copy after selling. This allows the service to ensure a higher percentage of each game sale goes back to the publisher; publishers are set to receive 95% of original game sales, and 70% of used game sales.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.pcgamer.com/robot-cache-is-a-blockchain-based-platform-that-will-let-you-buy-and-sell-games-online/ | title = Robot Cache is an upcoming digital storefront that will let you buy and sell games online | first= Andy | last= Chalk | date = January 16, 2018 | access-date = January 16, 2018 | work = [[PC Gamer]] }}</ref> While the site will accept normal forms of payment, it will also use a new [[cryptocurrency]] called Iron, which users will receive when reselling games and can be applied towards the purchase of new or used games.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/16/brian-fargo-will-launch-blockchain-currency-for-alternative-digital-game-store/ | title = Brian Fargo will launch blockchain currency for alternative digital game store | first = Dean | last = Takahashi | date = January 16, 2018 | access-date = January 16, 2018 | work = [[Venture Beat]] }}</ref>
