Pacific Standard Time, SAN FRANCISCO – Announced today
via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Honored (gethonored.com)
is a free online destination for gamers to chronicle their video
game achievements across multiple gaming platforms, celebrate
those achievements socially, and offers physical goods in the
form of badges to display triumphantly in the real world.
Members will be able to connect with other gamers, share their
gaming accomplishments across social media and optional high

Gamerscore and collecting achievements, but those achievements
are locked away behind each game system’s wall garden, until
now. That’s why we’ve created Honored,“ said J Eckert, founder

worldwide wants to recognize each other’s epic achievements, and
have a tangible real-world way of representing them. Imagine, 20
