Legend Of Mir creator tastes real money after 20 years

(BLOOMBERG) - When a twenty-something Park Kwan Ho created the Legend Of Mir more than two decades ago, he was driven mostly by his love for online gaming. Now at 48, the one-time game hobbyist is finally starting to taste the financial success that has eluded him since he founded Wemade in 2000, thanks to the release of Mir's fourth iteration in August. Based on blockchain technology, Mir 4 allows online players to convert in-game assets into tradeable crypto coins, while their avatars hunt and battle in the virtual world. While this genre is termed play-to-earn, many users also spend money to avoid hours of "grinding" to gain the resources needed to start earning crypto. Mir, based on quests that players have to accomplish in a mythical world of monsters and warriors, has drawn millions of users, who log in from countries from Belgium to Brazil and the Philippines. Shares of Wemade have surged almost 620 per cent this year, giving the company a market value of about US$3.9 billion (S$5.3 billion). Mr Park is among a growing crop of developers seeking to reshape an industry that is seeing massive wealth creation as the coronavirus pandemic fuels demand for online entertainment. Hi...
