In the past, however, they\u2019ve had problems like being limited to particular companies, focusing on just one gaming system, or being, well, not so good. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGamers don\u2019t want to adopt something that doesn\u2019t play well,\u201d says the 30-year-old entrepreneur. He says they expect a seamless experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Palma focused on a first-rate experience when he conceived of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/playonjump.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jump Gaming<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an on-demand, multi-platform video game subscription service that offers unlimited access to more than 100 indie video games. Jump aims to expose gamers to titles that have won awards or garnered high rating from users but might not have found the widest possible audience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-30167\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/05\/Jump-800x571.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30167\"\/><figcaption>\u201cI\u2019m at a point in my life where the biggest thing I can bring to the table is the ability to persevere,\u201d says Anthony Palma of Jump Gaming.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Called the \u201cNetflix for games,\u201d Jump charges $4.99 a month for unlimited play. Every month it introduces 10 new games into its ever-growing library.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jump shares 70 percent of its revenues with the developers of the games it features. It also offers advances to some of its content contributors to soften their risk. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pasadena-based startup bootstrapped until this March, when it raised a $1.9 million in Series A funding from angel investors. Shortly thereafter it increased its team to 10.&nbsp;It was a finalist this year at WeWork\u2019s Creator Awards San Francisco, held on May 10.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m at a point in my life where the biggest thing I can bring to the table is the ability to persevere,\u201d Palma says.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurdles along the way have included \u201ccontinuing to push along the roadmap,\u201d according to the CEO and founder. \u201cThere\u2019s so much we want to do, and we have to work within the confines of being early stage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up in West Virginia, Palma credits video games with getting him through the long, bitter winter months. He says turning his childhood passion into a career has been extremely gratifying.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPursuing your passion\u2014regardless of whether it\u2019s a business or a side project\u2014you have to have guts, resources, wherewithal,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Netflix for
