“Collectively, Steve has ran games that have been played by hundreds of millions of players and generated over $1 billion in product revenue, which makes him a great candidate for establishing partnerships with major gaming studios because he knows the industry so well, both as a player and studio head, and he knows what it takes to be successful,” said Amy Wu, head of FTXVentures & Commercial.
