Jam.gg, previously known as Piepacker, aimed to revolutionize online gaming by merging it with video chat functionalities. This web-based platform enabled users to enjoy multiplayer games with friends in a virtual couch setting. A key innovation was their patented technology, designed to drastically reduce internet bandwidth requirements, reportedly by an average factor of 15. Jam.gg offered a diverse library of games, including popular retro titles, PC indie games, and board games. In 2023, the project evolved, splitting into two distinct entities: Jam.gg and Onibi (https://onibi.gg/), with Y Combinator holding equity in both companies.
