Representative Lee Dong-ryul explained, "As the content capable of one-source multi-use, many contents can significantly contribute to the traditional offline publishing market. Each of Game Sapiens' contents has unique business and marketing characteristics."
He stated, "The target countries for digital game portals are all countries worldwide with basic internet environments. It is a service that can be enjoyed with minimal digital resources, making it applicable to people of all ages beyond toddlers." He emphasized that it is an intellectual content service with a wide spectrum of potential. No special partners are needed for countries that can be entered directly, and partners are only required for countries where direct entry is not possible under special circumstances.
The representative, Lee Dong-ryul, emphasized the potential for global market expansion within a few years after the service launch with only initial capital in the digital market. Regarding the offline market, he plans to proceed in the direction of licensing Game Sapiens' excellent games to capable publishers, following the business logic of the traditional board game market.
