“In combination with the expanded transparency of uplisting, this helps us diversify our shareholder base and provides the flexibility to pursue the transactions that we have lined up.” Tom kidron

I wasn't remotely thinking NFTs again. I'm pretty familiar with MRMD. For one thing, I think Thom's involvement there years ago shows open and outside-the-box thinking. I believe he's the type of individual who can spot emerging trends. So, I'm curious where this company goes and what new opportunities are on the horizon.

Yes ;) https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175030009

It’s not about nft’s
It’s about acquisitions and spin offs of companies looking for easy access to the public markets via wddd
Up listing is huge in this process
Research mrmd history

“This is our second major step in transforming the company and sets the stage for us to pursue additional strategic opportunities in multiple market segments,”

I guess we have to wait and see some specifics on these additional opportunities. It's encouraging but the last NFT opportunity basically faceplanted.

The 5K is mine!

WORLDS INC. UPLISTS TO OTCQB FOR IMPROVED MARKET VISIBILITY, TRANSPARENCY, TRADING LIQUIDITY

Boston, MA, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worlds Inc. (Worlds) (OTCQB: WDDD), formerly OTCPK: WDDD, has successfully uplisted from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB ® Venture Market (the "OTCQB"), effective for trading immediately. Worlds will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "WDDD."

“This is our second major step in transforming the company and sets the stage for us to pursue additional strategic opportunities in multiple market segments,” stated Thom Kidrin, Worlds Inc. CEO. “For investors, uplisting to OTCQB offers high-quality trading, improved market visibility and enhanced trading liquidity. In combination with the expanded transparency of uplisting, this helps us diversify our shareholder base and provides the flexibility to pursue the transactions that we have lined up.”

Worlds has been developing numerous opportunities that have the potential to create great value for shareholders and expand the company’s prospects in a receptive market. Just two weeks ago, Worlds announced new initiatives in the online interactive entertainment arena - a partnership with Jordan Freeman Group - ZOOM Platform to license the ZOOM Platform* (ZP) DRM-Free online entertainment platform and portfolio of classic video games and licensing Wanderful Interactive intellectual properties, originally published as Living Books, based on the works of award-winning authors including Marc Brown, Dr. Seuss, Mercer Mayer, Stan & Jan Berenstain, and other popular children’s book authors.

Great info
Should send it to kidron

Guessing it Looks like an up listing is coming soon

WDDD remains undiluted, and filing all reports :

It seems that there is interest in the vintage games market :

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2024/08/28/gamestop-retro-consoles-games/74990904007/

The picture will begin to develop with the next news announcement

I don't disagree with you except on one point. If the play here is for Freeman to use WDDD as a means to obtain listing, it would possibly explain why Thom kept WDDD compliant. The listing and the tax losses carried forward would be worth something. Not much, perhaps but something. At this point, something is better than nothing.

It is quite odd, the ambiguity, of the press release. Thomas is gone and 'Now' they call it a game? Maybe Zoom can use wddd as a trojan to get listed? There is no way in hell that there is money coming from that direction. The Worlds online game has maybe 200 supporters who haven't paid a dime in 20 years. You think that this will miraculously blossom into a profit? If Zoom take on this shell they will pay diddly squat. Quit wasting your electricity bill worrying about this place. Worlds has never been a game, that it is being called so now is proof positive of Thomas' total sell out.

The MM is keeping that 2 cent spread! I guess he got someone ??? to hit the ask yesterday

Content on Zoom Platform and Wanderful both carry price tags, so they are being monetized as long as there are buyers. Possibly the Worlds site would be in addition rather than replacement, although if they did a great job marketing the appeal, perhaps sales could jump remarkably. Or content could be free ad supported. All guesswork as we have zero guidance.

These are helpful as well. All provide more info about the Jordan Freeman Group. I'm wondering when Thom is going to hand over the reins. It isn't clear to me how Worlds licensing these retro games and children's books provides revenue. Something in the 3-D gaming space or that allows a multi-player experience for these existing games? The ZOOM platform (which is free, I think) is already being used. The games are available on Steam which has broad reach. So, how does Worlds plan to make this content that they have licensed available and generate revenue? The press release says, "In early 2025, Worlds intends to launch Worlds’ Platform, a new ZP-esque website and platform." Will this replace ZOOM? Will it be free? I guess we just have to wait and see.

Absolutely. Timed releases should help keep the momentum going. Let's hope they employ that strategy.

More news coming should help keep the momentum upward

Up 200% today on 5k shares. This can really take off if folks start paying the ask.

For those posting all of the trash emojis - don't feel bad. It's difficult for the rest of us to understand you. Are you homeless, stuck in a trash bin or puking up last night's bottle of Olde English?

Once the partnership here gets off the ground, you will have access to Dr. Seuss books. Learning to read could be beneficial to you.

Pictures and emojis truly limits ones ability to communicate.

People need to look and think about what kidron has done in the past with wddd an sec compliant company
It’s not just about gaming for kidron

Undoubtedly it is gaming. That crypto nonsense is long gone. Bitcoin is as valid as gold but the scammers that fooled people into buying share in it are in Jail. They have non fungible keys to get out. WDDD does not have the finances to support a new contract for anyone. The 'Worlds On line' game can be hosted by Freeman but there will be no revenue source for current share holders. This parrot is dead. Freeman could charge for using the game but that would bring in little income, the best he can do is garner Kudos for immortalizing the place. It has been an epic adventure but the die is cast.

No doubt based on the news it’s gaming is what kidron back ground is in
However do believe there will be additional announcements in different directions of non gaming
It was a very strong new announcement yesterday about retro gaming it’s a space freeman is very capable
of developing and seems an expert in
It looks like it will be successful imo
Probably will add

Kind of funny - folks putting trash emojis on our conversation about news...and then news comes out. Some folks are never happy.

If these haters took some time to read the tea leaves, rather than posting critical emojis, they might make some $$.

So the new direction is gaming, not crypto as some suggested. Not saying crypto can't be a factor, but it's not the focus of the partnership. Then news comes out, right as Thom's contract was about to expire.

All predictable events. Some would prefer to sit back and criticize or place on ignore those who were posting ideas and reasonable theories, based on the information that was available.

Those who accumulated cheap shares here over the past year or more will be rewarded. This has no where to go but up.

Good luck to those who still have shares.

Yes, definitely some unusual trading action. Traders and investors will see a 78% gain and news will filter out. It should start moving up.

Hopefully Thom/Freeman will do a better job at publisizing this news beyond just this press release

Give it some time to filter out into the markets
All the markets are pretty quiet waiting on some earnings and Labor Day
More news to come that should give it better exposure and gather investors interest
trying to buy recently even with the 200k seller no bites

Ridiculous spread (.013/.0388). That alone should scare off any buyers even you know who, who likes to hit the ask LOL

Was hoping for a little bit more of a bump up on that news. Yes it's up 78%, but only to .02, on 13k shares.

Looked like someone dumped some shares yesterday (about 200k), before the announcement, possibly to get more eyes on it today. That dump pulled it down, which made it move up a greater percentage today.

As more specifics trickle out, it should move higher.

My best guess tells me L4BC is/was a gamer, so his subscription to the service will drive this higher.

Based on some of the illiterate posts from a few years back, it appears that some here are still learning to read. So the Dr. Seuss line of books will be a good fit for them. Something for everyone!

This news sounds promising. I'm a bit disappointed with the volume but maybe it is too early??

Launches Worlds into the booming global retro gaming industry

Creates new ongoing, multi-generation revenue channels for Worlds

Enables Worlds’ Platform to Access ZP’s 1,100+ classic video game titles and original IP

Includes licenses for interactive children’s stories based on the works of Marc Brown, Dr. Seuss, Mercer Mayer, Stan & Jan Berenstain and other popular children’s book authors

Boston, MA and Paradise Valley, AZ, Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worlds Inc. (WDDD) (OTCPK: WDDD) has closed on the agreement with Jordan Freeman Group - ZOOM Platform to license the ZOOM Platform* (ZP) DRM-Free online entertainment platform and portfolio of classic video games, including upcoming original intellectual properties, such as Shadow Stalkers and MegaRace: DeathMatch. The agreement also includes licensing Wanderful Interactive intellectual properties, originally published as Living Books, based on the works of award-winning authors including Marc Brown, Dr. Seuss, Mercer Mayer, Stan & Jan Berenstain, and other popular children’s book authors.

ZOOM Platform

ZOOM Platform has ported classic PC and console games, including Duke Nukem, FlatOut, Commandos and Aliens Vs. Predator to modern platforms online, making classic video games accessible to a new market of gamers without having to purchase proprietary consoles. ZP also enables play of original ZOOM Platform games (ZP Games) that ZOOM Platform Productions, LLC (ZPP) created and owns. ZP has digital distribution rights to over 1,100 titles.

In early 2025, Worlds intends to launch Worlds’ Platform, a new ZP-esque website and platform.

“People love to revisit the iconic video games of their youth, but access to disparate and discontinued gaming consoles often prevents it. This partnership will enable gamers and families across all ages to enjoy beloved classic games and children’s stories via a common interactive interface,” stated Thomas Kidrin, Worlds CEO. “With the resurgence of interest in classic video games, this is a tremendous opportunity for Worlds to create new ongoing, multi-generation revenue channels in traditional and interactive entertainment. Jordan has created a phenomenal platform that is intuitive, easily accessible and cost effective, while preserving all the unique characteristics of the original games. It is truly a retrogamer’s dream.”

“Retro gaming is a hot, rapidly growing industry niche that serves as common ground among gamers across generations and cultures,” stated Jordan Freeman, founder of ZOOM Platform, president of Wanderful Interactive and a Worlds Board of Directors member. “My late mentor Bernie Stolar, an iconic leader in the gaming industry at Sony and SEGA, introduced me to Worlds as a major innovative force creating technologies that enabled the beginning of today’s multi-player online gaming sphere. This licensing agreement is the next step in an exciting multi-faceted relationship that has the potential to grow ZOOM Platform’s footprint, expand Worlds’ legacy into the retro gaming arena, and explore uncharted territories. The possibilities are infinite.”

Wanderful Interactive children’s stories

In an age where video games’ action and colorful visuals outshine words on printed pages, the Wanderful Interactive stories are designed to build foundational skills and foster a love of learning. Children can progress at their own speed --pre-readers can have the stories read to them, while beginning readers can get help pronouncing difficult words. Buttons to trigger sounds and movement bring the stories to life for even the most reluctant adventurer.

Kidrin noted, “Reading is a foundational skill that we are thrilled to advance through interactive storybooks. Wanderful is a winning concept that makes learning as exciting as video games. Through our new platform, you’ll easily be able to bring your child’s entire library wherever you go to keep children engaged and learning.”

The Rise of Retro Gaming:

YouTube Cultures & Trends reports, “There were over 1000 times more uploads of videos related to retro gaming in the first half of [2023] than there were for the same period in 2007.
Retro gaming is a global phenomenon, with top views this year coming from countries in South America, Europe, and Asia!” Creative Insights’ VisualGPS consumer survey found that “for 7 in 10 consumers globally, the value of video games is linked to providing an escape from the real world. Combine nostalgia, escapism, and visual playfulness of retro gaming to get the perfect play and to captivate audiences across generations, including those who didn’t even grow up with the original retro games.”

Thinking any day now

Let's hope there is some news here, before a market meltdown. It would be nice to see everyone make some $$.

Believe you will be right about the news coming soon
Famous last word ha ha

Give it up, Dave. You only encourage him LOL

I think we will hear something soon, possibly next month.

This has to start taking a direction soon, or (not popular to say here) it just bleeds back down.

L4BC said it was safe to buy up to .70, after there was a sign of life here. So far, that hasn't worked out so well.

Only L4BC knows where Kidrin is. He can ask Kidrin why have no any response to share holders.??? . 🤣

Tom who
No management promotion no support
Happy to add if kidron can get his sh.t together and let his investors know what his plans and company strategy will be
One director announcement in 4 months doesn’t do anything to help investors decide if they want to invest in his company
Very poor communication

The way I read it, his contract is still up in August 2024, even with the extension. Of course he exercised the option to utiloze the extension. Maybe he is negotiating a new contract or passing the baton?

If he gets a new contract, lets hope it's laden with performance incentives.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is committed to an employment agreement with its President and CEO, Thom Kidrin. The agreement, dated as of August 28, 2018, is for five years with a one-year renewal option held by Mr. Kidrin. Prior to its expiration, Mr. Kidrin agreed to a one year extension of his employment agreement.

This from the latest 10-Q released just over a week ago. Maybe he is holding out for a bigger salary based on his performance lol

Where's Thom? Did he join the CIA in an undercover capacity, or perhaps he's stuck on the International Space Station. Maybe he's lost in the Metaverse?

He still on bed, wake him up!
