Jump (service)
Jump was a cloud gaming service for indie developers founded by CEO Anthony Palma with early team members Russ Mester, Cade Peterson, and Sam Hain. The service officially launched September 19, 2017[1] with 63 games, after a successful closed beta running during the month of July before.[2] Striving to be a 'Netflix for Indie Games', Jump offered a subscription-based model that provided access to a catalog of games by independent developers with little to no brand-name recognition, offering 70% of revenues to game developers.[3][4] Jump offered indie games such as The End is Nigh and Ittle Dew.[5] As of February 2019[update], Jump offered 120 games.[6]
On February 14, 2020, CEO Anthony Palma announced that Jump had officially shut down.[7][8]
