Yuga Labs has appointed Spencer Tucker as its initial Chief Gaming Officer, the firm behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection revealed on Friday.
At Yuga, Tucker will be in charge of the making of the firm’s Web3 gaming plans, beginning with Yuga’s “Otherside” metaverse. At the start of this year, Otherside made waves on Ethereum when it saw a huge gush of deals and $561 million net of NFT land sales within 24 hours.
Tucker comes from mobile gaming companies Scopely and GREE, where he worked as President of Games and Senior Vice President of products, respectively.
On Linkedin, Tucker said he was “super stoked” to be joining Yuga, which also owns the CryptoPunks and Meebits NFTs.
“I believe the future of gaming will be powered by player ownership, social collaboration, and creative expression,” Tucker stated.
In a statement, Yuga CEO Nicole Muniz said gaming is one of the firm’s biggest concerns calling it a “main focus” going forward. It’s remarkable for the NFT firms which owns the top four Ethereum NFT collections of all time, according to OpenSea data.
