Hi, my name is Josue Soto, and I’m the founder of Midnight Gamers Guild.

Gaming has always been more than just a hobby to me it’s a way to connect, compete, and escape into something meaningful. But over time, I realized something was missing:

There aren’t enough places where all kinds of gamers can come together.

That’s why I’m creating Midnight Gamers Guild a space designed to bring people together through games, community, and shared experiences.

Gaming has always been a big part of my life, but not only just because of the games themselves. For me, it was always about the people.

Some of my best memories come from late nights with family and friends sitting around a table, controllers in hand, dice rolling, laughing, competing, and losing track of time. We’d play for hours… sometimes all the way into the early morning. Those nights felt different. They felt like we were part of something.

That’s where the name Midnight Gamers Guild comes from.

It represents those moments when nothing else mattered except the game, the competition, and the people around you. It wasn’t just about winning or losing… it was about belonging.

As time went on, life got busier. People moved, schedules changed, and those moments became harder to recreate. And I realized something:

There aren’t enough places that truly capture that feeling anymore.

Midnight Gamers Guild is far more than just a store. It’s not just a place to buy games or sit at a few tables.

It’s a space where people can come together, stay for hours, and feel that same connection again.

This isn’t just a business idea it’s my way of bringing those experiences back to life. A place where anyone can walk in, sit down, and become part of something, no matter who they are or what games they love to play.

A place where new memories are made, just like the ones that inspired all of this.

If you’ve ever had moments like that where a game turned into a memory you’ll never forget then you already understand why this matters so much to me.

And with your help, I can build a space where those moments happen every day.
