Over 100 million people watch live streamed games every day - but they can’t buy what they see on screen 

During any given hour, over 1 million people are streaming games. 

Despite the popularity of streaming, today’s platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, MLG, and Huya do not allow viewers to purchase the physical products they see on screen.  

This is a multi-billion dollar market that is not being served by the existing livestream platforms.
