DUBAI: Driven by AI, The Game Company, a cloud-based web 3.0 platform, offers the ultimate revolutionary gaming experience by stretching out the parameters of conventional gaming.

With an interview exclusively with Arab News Japan, CEO and founder of The Game Company, Osman Masud, shares his inspiration behind the creation of such an exceptional platform saying, “Starting The Game Company was fueled by my passion for innovation and the immense potential I saw in leveraging web3 technology within the gaming space. This combination sparked the idea of creating something extraordinary by linking AI with cloud technologies. Our goal is to provide gamers with a memorable gaming experience while breaking barriers and promoting inclusivity.”

Psychographics and IOA (interests, opinions, and activities) strategies are adopted to ensure a customized and engaging experience.

AI is at the heart of this specific gaming platform, by using IOA to analyze players’ patterns, the company is able to recommend games based on preference and gaming history.

The Game Company offers the most advanced, flexible, and accessible service; complicated and expensive hardware are not needed to engage on this platform, it is supported by windows and android with IOS coming soon, it has web2 and web3 game support, and it even allows users to monetize their time spent playing by owning digital assets, such as avatars, tokens, and NFTs.

Being an active creator in an evolving AI gaming market can be demanding as competition is most likely to be brutal; Masud discussed this point in the interview saying, “Staying ahead of the competition in a rapidly evolving AI gaming market is a challenge we’re prepared to tackle. As we launch our platform, we focus on constant innovation and adaptability. We’re investing time in researching new technologies and gaming trends to understand what players want. We’re all about listening to our players and actively participating in the gaming community. We also recognize the power of collaboration, so we’re building strategic partnerships within the gaming industry to ensure we stay at the forefront of innovation.”

To support his claim about the power of collaboration, Masud partnered with Shiller, a live video platform founded by American rapper and entrepreneur, Snoop Dogg, and tech entrepreneur, Sam Jones.

This vital collaboration combines the power of Shiller’s cutting-edge video commerce capabilities with The Game Company’s immersive AI-based cloud gaming platform, creating an unparalleled gaming experience.

Gamers will experience a fusion of gaming and commerce, it will give them the opportunity to receive virtual tips and gifts from their audience, promote digital and physical products, as well as host interactive games and voting sessions.

This collaboration empowers gamers to monetize their game play through transforming virtual achievements into valuable digital assets, such as creating and selling NFTs.

Masud is thrilled to be expanding his company to the GCC and Japan as these regions boast thriving gaming communities and have strong demands for new and innovative gaming platforms.

He also added that “Japan has one of the highest numbers of gamers in the world, with 58% of its population playing games. Meanwhile, the Middle East has over 100 million gamers. Our goal is to fill market gaps, offering a fresh and exciting gaming experience that caters to the diverse preferences and needs of players in these regions. By embracing the rich gaming cultures in the GCC and Japan, we aim to create an inclusive gaming environment that resonates with the local gaming communities. We are excited to connect with gamers in these regions and deliver a memorable gaming experience.”

Masud then moved on to talking about the challenges he faces in this type of industry; the most prominent challenge was ensuring the safety and protection of the user’s data.

Since the platform offers recommended games based on the user’s preference and gaming history, personal data and information have to be shared to facilitate this customized service.

Leveraging of web3 technologies to have state-of-the-art encryption protocols are used to implement robust measures to keep data safe and secure from any unauthorized access.
