Wemade is a Korean video game company that is popular for their PC and mobile games like Legend of Mir and MMORPG. Microsoft’s investment with Wemade is worth $46 million.

Wemade’s MIR4 is the “first well-made blockbuster blockchain game” in the world.

The blockchain mainnet called Wemix 3.0 is also owned by blockchain. This is used to verify and exchange cryptocurrencies.

An NFT auction site is also owned by the company. NFT auction sites are not well received and were subject to backlash in the past 24 months.

As of right now, the investment of Microsoft is unclear as well as their plans to move forward. Just this June, Phil Spencer, the Head of Gaming said that blockchain games “feel more exploitive than about entertainment.”
