subject: Google buys Mobile Social Gaming Developer [print this page] There is no doubt that when it comes to mobile games, it can be argued that Android currently lags behind the offerings on the Apple devices. Google may be one step closer to changing that with the recent acquisition of mobile game development company public, social Deck.
Social Deck were collected no less than million times in 2009 . Their portfolio includes games Color Connect, Shake Spell and Pet Hero. The company is headquartered in Toronto and San Francisco and was founded by Anish Acharya and Jeson Patel, who came from Amazon and Microsoft, respectively.
is a really interesting move from Google. This shows that serious about continuing the game on Android and give an example, if you have to. Social Deck is now iPhone and Blackberry-oriented company so it is, whether these titles will not be a second Android development plan. Purchasing company can not be only about Android. Google are rumored to want to start your own social network or social games and their acquiring social media businesses Slide seem to support that.
To date, no information on how much money you plunked down the big Gs, but has received $250k of funding in 2009.
Here is a quote from the Social Deck house.
