“The legend among the legends of the Korean gaming industry and the pioneer of the world online game joins the Opengame Foundation as a senior adviser and/or a member of the Council.
Jake Song, co -founder of several most influential Korean gaming companies and the father of some of the longest -playing and cult games, now begins to solve the innovative problem: the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain into games. This ambitious and destructive project is only possible for a real genius. He will communicate with developers around the world, share experience and expand the boundaries of innovation.
As almost 30 years ago, he opened the door to the world of the online game, so now with us he will help to open a new chapter in the game industry.
Personally, I first met him about 29 years ago and since then I always hoped that I would have the opportunity to work with him again. Now this desire becomes a reality.
The great project attracts genius, and a genius can make the project truly great. “
