Founding story

Polestar Games was founded by Dongkyou Lee, who serves as CEO and co-founder. According to the company, Lee has a 25-year career in games and game design; he began programming as a child, writing a Tetris clone with MSX2 and BASIC, and later worked during the early period of Nexon on the development of 'The Kingdom of the Winds'. That experience of connecting large numbers of people in a shared virtual world is described as the origin of his broader ambition for MMORPGs and the motivation for establishing Polestar Games.

Business model

The company develops PC online games and MMORPGs as a studio. It states that it does not build everything in-house, instead concentrating internal resources on core technologies while adopting external solutions, using outsourcing where appropriate and working with partner companies.
