Hypergryph Announces 'CoreBlazer' Incubator Program: Are They Turning Into Venture Capitalists?

Recently, Hypergryph officially launched its creative support initiative, 'CoreBlazer.' The company states the program aims to assist talented game developers through funding, team incubation, and resource sharing, describing it as a way to accompany creators through the 'wilderness' of game development and explore the boundaries of the industry together.

The announcement sparked a heated debate among players. Many compared it to the venture capital strategies of industry giants like Tencent (referred to by the Chinese acronym 'TX'), while others were initially confused by the name, joking that Hypergryph was pivoting into the semiconductor industry. Skeptics criticized the move, claiming it was a case of 'buying instead of building' because their internal R&D is insufficient. Fans also expressed impatience, with some sarcastically asking when the company would finally release their own long-awaited titles instead of focusing on external investments.
