“In October 1958, Physicist William Higinbotham created what is thought to be the first video game. It was a very simple tennis game, similar to the classic 1970s video game Pong, and it was quite a hit at a Brookhaven National Laboratory open house” (aps.org). 63 years have passed, and video games are prolific.

The company Pragma provides a backend game engine that enables developers to create multiplayer and social games. Pragma’s features are divided into three broad categories: cross platform accounts to connect players, Game Loop, which is lobby, matchmaking, game allocation, and end of match processing, and storing, saving, and updating accounts, inventory, progression, and related data.

In this episode we talk with Eden Chen, CEO and Co-Founder of Pragma.
