In the Show Tell blog, we indicated that we are giving the game away for FREE on Steam. This is only possible to maintain if we find a good revenue stream.
Realizing that the game we have produces lots of data that the rest of the gaming industry is highly interested in, we found a way to monetize on our game.
By creating an API from our gaming data we now have a datapoint that companies are willing to pay top dollar for
We start of by creating an HTTP endpoint

Next steps are to loop through our data and add it to an string. Eventually responding to the HTTP call with the complete dataset that they have access to.
