LOS ANGELES, April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- First President of Virtual Reality (VR) Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs today announced details of his plan to create jobs in VR, through the privatization and monetization of the public transport system. This groundbreaking plan is set to fully disrupt the video games business model starting with the introduction of a "conscription vs subscription" plan to attract new gamers to Entropia Universe, the leading real cash economy virtual reality platform, paying them $180 to play for the first year.

President of Virtual Reality Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs Unveils Plan to Create 3 Million Jobs with 'Public Transport' IPO

Currently free in VR, transportation via teleportation is provided as a public service by game developers, which will be privatized with ownership passed to the public through shares. Funds raised will be used to create jobs by creating infrastructure across virtual worlds and VR platforms that will be built by users through gamification.

Free public transport is used on average 1 million times per month in the Entropia Universe. As President, NEVERDIE plans to raise $1 billion USD to interconnect new worlds and platforms with the public transport system. This will be achieved by creating plug ins for games and worlds developed on a variety of graphic engines, including Unreal, Unity and Lumberyard and emerging Augmented Reality applications using HoloLens or Magic Leap that might otherwise stand alone. This global initiative will grow the market to 12 billion paid teleports per year by 2020 producing annual revenue of $1.2 billion USD. This growth will be driven by the demand for gamified VR jobs and minimum wage standards and will only require an active user base across connected worlds and apps of 20 million unique monthly users which represents just appx 1.25% of the global games market.*

"I'm excited to kick off my Presidency with these top priorities to unite all VR platforms and change forever the idea that you must pay to play a video game," said Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs. "From this time forward people will ask themselves, what do I get out of it? What's my time worth? How much can I earn playing this game? The revenue from the VR public transport system can not only produce profits for investors and revenue for developers, but it will also be used to pay a $2.50 per hour minimum wage and $5 per hour skilled labor wage to those employed through gamification. In my effort to combat Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics that threaten global job security, I'm creating an economy that will offer employment opportunities available to a wider group of people. My vision is to build upon formulas already proven in the Entropia Universe and create 3.6 million sustainable jobs by 2030 supported by the public transport system alone. Gamers must no longer be treated like addicts, slaving to line the pockets of video game developers. We have the systems today to give gamers value for their time and we will see games become as rich and powerful as nations as a result!"

The "Virtual Reality Public Transport IPO" will be followed by the launch of a Virtual Reality Stock Exchange App to easily facilitate trade in shares and investment into future simulated economy VR companies that will expand employment and minimum wage opportunities for users in VR.
