I am surprised to see a YC MMO at all. Are there any examples of a YC MMO?

- minimaxir 5y agoNot MMOs, but YC has funded smaller gaming companies over the years (the names of which I do not remember, which speaks to their relative success)
- Impossible 5y agoMachine Zone is relatively successful. They also funded Mino Games https://minogames.com/en/ https://minogames.com/en/, which might not be "successful" on your terms, but they've stayed in business for 10+ years which is better than many game studios
- minimaxir 5y agoAh, forgot about Machine Zone, that's fair. Mino Games was the one I was thinking about, although that website appears to be out of date but yes their games are still active.

- ericbarrett 5y agoA family member of mine played Game of War (owned by Machine Zone) and made friends with some of the highest ranked players. The biggest whales were dropping $5-10k a day on power-ups.
- Impossible 5y agoZenith is a VR MMO that went through YC https://zenithmmo.com/ https://zenithmmo.com/. Multiverse isn't exactly an MMO, it's more of a tabletop RPG platform (think Roll20), but is also YC funded https://www.playmultiverse.com/ https://www.playmultiverse.com/. There might be more.
