🏰 The Flippening of the Giants
The hunt for justice begins. WyvernX targets legacy gaming publishers who have exploited creators, communities, and players. As we grow, we'll support affected communities and developers.
🎮 Why This Matters
The Power of Gaming Memories
Computer games are more than entertainment — they're part of our identity and lifestyle. We build memories with these games, embark on adventures that stay with us for years. The music from soundtracks echoes in our heads for decades, and we still feel nostalgic when we hear those familiar melodies. This value stays in our hearts forever.
The Betrayal of Trust
Yet the very creators who gave us these experiences — the developers who poured their souls into these worlds, the modders who kept communities alive, the composers who crafted unforgettable soundtracks — are often exploited, silenced, or cast aside by corporate giants who see only profit margins, not the human connection these works create.
The Democratic Revolution
Cryptocurrency gives us something unprecedented: the power to democratically support the causes we believe in. We can stand behind movements that matter, fight for those who sacrificed their lives to provide value to our communities. This is what makes the flippening possible — not just flipping market caps, but flipping the entire power structure of the gaming industry.
A Cause Worth Fighting For
When we support exploited creators, we're not just fighting for fair compensation — we're fighting for the soul of gaming itself. We're ensuring that the people who create the experiences that shape our lives are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. This is a cause worth fighting for, because these games are worth fighting for.
“We the people have the power to make change in this world for those who are sacrificing their life to provide value.”
Bungie
Bungie Layoffs While CEO Spent Millions (2024)
In July 2024, Bungie laid off roughly 220 people, barely a year after another round of layoffs. At the same time, CEO Pete Parsons had reportedly spent $2.4M on vintage cars. Employees criticized the optics while many struggled unemployed amid executive luxury spending.
Ethical Issue:
Executive excess amid workforce instability. Short-term cost-cutting undermines long-term creative investment.
“They fired hundreds while he bought Ferraris. WyvernX invests in its creators.”
Community Impact: This isn't just about money — it's about the communities that were built around these games, the memories created, and the people who dedicated years of their lives to keeping these worlds alive.
CD Projekt Red
Witcher IP Rights Dispute: CD Projekt & Sapkowski
Andrzej Sapkowski sold digital-game rights to The Witcher for a modest one-time payment, rejecting profit-sharing. After the franchise's massive success, he demanded additional compensation, leading to a legal dispute.
Ethical Issue:
Traditional creators relinquish long-term value for short-term certainty
“They locked the creator out. WyvernX brings them back in.”
Community Impact: This isn't just about money — it's about the communities that were built around these games, the memories created, and the people who dedicated years of their lives to keeping these worlds alive.
Electronic Arts (EA)
EA & Maxis – SimCity / Spore / The Sims
Will Wright, creator of SimCity and The Sims, saw his creative vision repeatedly altered or monetized via microtransactions. The Sims 4 DLC model exploits the fan base and dilutes creator intent.
Ethical Issue:
Franchise milking vs. artistic integrity
“They turned Sims into cash cows. WyvernX builds player worlds.”
Community Impact: This isn't just about money — it's about the communities that were built around these games, the memories created, and the people who dedicated years of their lives to keeping these worlds alive.
Take-Two Interactive
Take-Two vs. Modders (GTA series)
Take-Two has repeatedly issued DMCA takedowns against modders who created enhancements for older GTA titles. Mods like OpenIV and re3/reVC were removed despite being non-commercial and community-beloved.
Ethical Issue:
Community creators add long-term value, yet get punished legally
“Modders breathe life into dead worlds. Corporate giants shut them down.”
Community Impact: This isn't just about money — it's about the communities that were built around these games, the memories created, and the people who dedicated years of their lives to keeping these worlds alive.
Activision Blizzard
Workplace Harassment & Toxic Culture
Multiple lawsuits alleging sexual harassment, discrimination, and toxic workplace culture. California DFEH lawsuit revealed years of systematic issues affecting women employees.
Ethical Issue:
Systemic workplace discrimination and harassment in gaming industry
“They built empires on broken backs. WyvernX builds on respect.”
Community Impact: This isn't just about money — it's about the communities that were built around these games, the memories created, and the people who dedicated years of their lives to keeping these worlds alive.
Nintendo
Nintendo vs. Fan Creators
Nintendo is infamous for taking down fan-made games and tributes, even when non-commercial. Projects like AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) and Pokémon Uranium were shut down after years of unpaid work by passionate creators.
Ethical Issue:
IP protection vs. fan contribution—where's the line?
“Nintendo locks the castle. WyvernX opens the gates.”
Community Impact: This isn't just about money — it's about the communities that were built around these games, the memories created, and the people who dedicated years of their lives to keeping these worlds alive.
