Alvin Hung (Assumed to be born in 1977) was the founder and former CEO of GoAnimate. He is a serial entrepreneur who has been passionate about technology and startups from a young age. [1] Hung has received a significant amount of criticism specifically from hardcore GoAnimate fans due to the removal of many features from the site. On January 15, 2015, the GoPlus subscription was removed due to lack of popularity. Around July 21, 2015, Hung removed social media functions due to apparent cyberbullying. He removed social media access for basic users almost a year prior on September 16, 2014.

He updated the video-maker, making "Business Friendly" ones on August 16, 2015, and that's when he crossed the line according to most GoAnimators.

Hung removed most of the voices on October 29 and removed all non-business themes after the transition to HTML5. It was eventually announced that most of the voices were removed because of GoAnimate's Text-To-Speech service’s licensing changes.

There was a rumor that he would remove the ability to add pictures, backgrounds and more. This change never came into place.

It was announced that the previously retired themes would remain on GA4S for a short period of time.

The Non-Business themes were retired on GoAnimate4Schools on July 26, 2016.

On July 16th, 2019, it was announced that the Legacy Video Maker (or LVM) would retire in December of 2019 due to Adobe Flash retiring in 2020; the process would first begin on August 14th with users defaulting to the Vyond Studio maker. The LVM was set to be retired on December 14th, 2019, but was delayed for 2 days for unknown reasons.

Hung rebranded GoAnimate into Vyond on May 6th, 2018. Hung retired from being the CEO on September 7th, 2018 and passed the title to Gary Lipkowitz.
