We will collaborate with thinkers, builders, and execs, and other experts across the web3 and games industry in our endeavor. The content will come in the form of many initial programs and formats and will scale according to success. This platform will also serve as an initial entry point to YGG’s services and technology to help developers their footing and on a path to building and bringing to market amazing new game experiences.
