Jason Brink and Gala Colleagues Forge Path with LFG Formation

In the midst of rumors of upheaval, Jason Brink—known for his persona as BitBender—has publicly announced his retirement from his position as president of blockchain at Gala Games. As he leaves his position as an official, Brink remains loyal to Gala Games as an advisor—though he will not be paid for this advice. At the same time, other important employees decide to take on other projects outside of Gala Games, which has a knock-on impact on the organization.

In an unexpected twist, Brink and his departing cohorts are banding together to birth an external entity christened LFG, an acronym that resonates with their shared ethos: Let’s Fight Giants. LFG’s mission is clear—to fortify Gala’s ecosystem from an external, decentralized standpoint. Their sights are set on bolstering Gala’s infrastructure, encompassing GalaChain and Gala’s Node ecosystem, through collaborative efforts beyond Gala’s walls.

Charting the Path Forward

Brink envisions this strategic maneuver as a means to broaden their support network, extending a helping hand to independent projects beyond Gala Games’ confines. Despite his departure from an official capacity, Brink is adamant about his unwavering dedication to Gala’s ecosystem, promising continued involvement in its evolution.

With the recent forking of its GALA token, which will be reintroduced as v2 GALA in 2023, Gala Games underwent a significant event. The decision created a lot of buzz and revealed internal conflicts, most notably a legal dispute between Wright Thurston and Eric Schiermeyer, Gala’s co-founders. The litigation highlighted deficiencies in the company’s governance framework, hence intensifying the need for change.

Following the departure of Brink and his allies, Gala Games is preparing for a revolutionary period in which it will reevaluate its strategy for promoting the Gala ecosystem with more effectiveness and intensity.
