With creative direction from Gen.G's Executive Brand Ambassador Heron Preston, who designed the artwork for the song and music video, "ALL IN" is a labor of love for the entire team whose favorite genre is Korean hip hop. Jay Park , an Asian-American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and entrepreneur, spent hours during the season break speaking with the team to understand their passion for gaming, their background and what drove them to compete on a global stage.

"It's intriguing to see these young gamers train and go out to put it all on the line,' said Jay Park . "I'm always trying to explore new boundaries, and it's a privilege to be able to do it with Gen.G  With this song 'ALL IN,' I wanted to say to make sure you give it your all- whether you win or lose, you'll have no regrets."

"It was an honor to work with one of the icons of the Korean hip hop industry in Jay Park as well as the incredible rising stars in pH-1 and GroovyRoom," said Arnold Hur , Gen.G's COO. "We have a history of working with Korean hip hop artists as our players have always been huge fans of Korean hip hop. When we had an opportunity to meet Jay, our entire team was both shocked and appreciative of how much time Jay spent understanding what makes our players tick and showing them so much respect for their passion."

The music video, directed by THECUT Studio, shows a dystopian desert that signifies the players' experiences of the pressures of being on-stage and their internal struggles as they fight through it.  It also shows a large "Gen.G army," representing their fans, who have provided them with motivation from afar during a difficult season. The video can be streamed here .

GAIMIN releases GAIMCRAFT API technology to convert Web2 applications to Web3

GAIMIN ( www.gaimin.io ), the world's leader in delivering decentralised, distributed data processing power, today announces the release of its GAIMCRAFT API to convert Web2 applications to Web3.

Gaimin API to convert Web2 applications to Web3 (CNW Group/Gaimin)

Through GAIMCRAFT API technology a game developer is now able to convert their existing Web2 game into a Web3 game, integrating blockchain technology, including NFT assets into their game, and creating a crypto -based in-game economy.

The growth of blockchain technology and the benefits it provides to both application developers and gamers has identified a need for developers to integrate the technology into their applications. In a typical Web2 game, a player builds up an in-game asset repository, which is typically purchased through the game. When the player stops playing the game, the asset repository remains within the game and is lost, along with all the investment. With blockchain based NFT assets, the inventory is held outside the game, with the gamer retaining ownership of the asset. If the gamer starts playing a different game, they can re-use their NFT in the new game and therefore retain their investment. In addition, in-game NFT assets can also be transacted through a marketplace. Utilising smart contract technology, NFTs can be sold, purchased and even rented with transactions never disputed and validated through the blockchain. NFT rentals managed by a smart contract ensure return of the NFT at the end of the rental period, generating a financial return for the original owner and management of the ownership of the asset.

The GAIMCRAFT API enables a developer to convert a Web2 game to Web3 and take advantage of blockchain technology including smart contracts, NFTs and crypto wallets. With GAIMCRAFT API, the developer creates a unique product key and manages smart contracts containing NFTs within their application via this key. Users register with the application and can link crypto wallets to the game, allowing the developer to use blockchain-based assets, such as NFTs, managing and controlling NFT utility from within the game. The API also aligns with GAIMIN's GMRX cryptocurrency and delivers marketplace functionality to the developer, providing a ready made environment to deliver an in-game economy based on a real-world crypto currency.

Martin Speight , CEO of GAIMIN ( www.Gaimin. gg ) stated, "The release of our blockchain technology through an API is a game changer for games developers. Developers can bring their games to the Web3 gaming market through integration of GAIMIN's API into their applications. Currently supporting the EPIC/Unreal games development engine, we will be releasing SDKs incorporating the API for a number of different platforms over the coming months.

Andrew Faridani , CMO for GAIMIN said, "The release of this free API provides games developers with an easy route to delivering a Web3 game. Launching through GAIMIN provides a ready made, gaming-friendly, user community who already have a funded account ready to spend on their games. The incorporation of NFT technology into games means that in-game assets are transferable to other games and any investment in gaming is not lost when moving from game to game."

Martin added, "Conversion of a Web2 game to a Web3 game using GAIMCRAFT API provides a fast track for a games developer to launch their game on GAIMIN's soon to be launched Web3 games launcher - a repository of Web3 games all supporting blockchain technology. Use of GAIMIN's game launching platform provides a ready made user base for games; a user community motivated to play these games through the GAIMIN app which provides a passive monetization facility resulting in low cost or even free gameplay using their earned GMRX."

The added advantage of the GAIMCRAFT API is its alignment with GMRX, GAIMIN's cryptocurrency . Users of the GAIMIN app receive monetization rewards for passive participation in GAIMIN's distributed data processing network. Earned GMRX can then be used to cover costs associated with gaming, with Web3 games on the GAIMIN games launcher platform utilising GMRX for its in-game economy, the physical cost to gamers for playing a game is very much reduced or even eliminated.

About GAIMIN

GAIMIN.IO Ltd (GAIMIN) is a UK and Swiss based gaming company focused on helping the gaming community monetise the computational power of their gaming PC. GAIMIN has created a decentralised data processing network harnessing under utilised processing power typically found in gaming PC's to create a world-wide decentralised data processing network, delivering supercomputer performance.

GAIMIN rewards users in its own crypto currency, GMRX which can then be used for purchases on the GAIMIN Marketplace for NFTs, in-game assets, accessories and merchandise, or it can be converted to fiat or a different crypto currency.

Arkadium Announces CEO Transition

Arkadium, the leader in games developed exclusively for the grown-up audience, announced today that Jessica Rovello has transitioned to the role of Executive Chairwoman and named President and Co-Founder Kenny Rosenblatt as its new CEO. Ms. Rovello served as the company's CEO for 7 years, presiding over a period of great transition and growth for the organization.

Kenny Rosenblatt is now CEO of Arkadium

During her tenure in the role, Arkadium's revenue and profits grew steadily year over year; the company earned numerous best workplace awards, was named a Forbes Small Giant , and was featured on the cover of Inc Magazine. Rovello also presided over a buyback of the company's shares from its VC investors and led the company's transition out of Russia .

"The most selfless act an entrepreneur can make is to intentionally leave the company they founded in order to give others opportunities to grow," said Kenny Rosenblatt . "Jess led us through two wars, a pandemic, and upheaval in our industry, and still leaves Arkadium in the strongest position it has ever been in, both financially and strategically. The leadership team, along with the systems and processes she put in place, will help Arkadium to flourish for years, if not decades, to come."

"I'm so honored to have worked with Arkadians from all over the world for these past 20+ years, first as its Co-Founder and then as CEO. Working for any company, but particularly a games company should be FUN. Despite all of the challenges the world tossed at us, I had a great time," stated Rovello, "and I could not be more excited to watch Kenny, the executive team, and the whole organization reach great new heights as it embarks on this next chapter."

Rovello and Rosenblatt co-founded Arkadium in 2001 when both were 26 years old. The duo, who are married with three children, are a true anomaly in the games industry - which is known for its stressful work environments, hit-driven business models, and male dominated-work cultures. "I can count on one hand the number of female CEOs who founded a gaming company, grew it to more than $100 Million in enterprise value, generated tremendous profits, and made it last for more than 20 years. Jess is truly a one-in-a-billion entrepreneur," said Rosenblatt.

This will be Kenny's second run as CEO of Arkadium. Rosenblatt held the role from 2001 to 2015.  Moving forward, Arkadium will continue to focus on the grown-up gamer and develop games that retain and delight their unique audience.

About Arkadium

For 20 years, Arkadium has been the ultimate creator of games designed for grown-up players. Arkadium has developed dozens of hit titles enjoyed by millions worldwide. Its games can be found on its own top-ranked game site Arkadium.com as well as on iOS, Android, and websites of world's biggest publishers and brands – including USA Today, AARP, The Washington Post, and MSN. Headquartered in New York City with an additional game studio in Portugal , Arkadium is a privately held business owned and led by co-founding husband-and-wife team Kenny Rosenblatt and Jessica Rovello . It has consistently ranked as a "Best Place to Work" by Inc. Magazine, Ad Age, Crain's New York , and more. To learn more, visit arkadium.com or follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn.
