Research In Motion has acquired Scoreloop AG, a leading independent platform for mobile social gaming.
"As part of RIM, Scoreloop will be in the unique position to integrate deeply at the operating system level and leverage their entire ecosystem across the board,“ says Olaf Jacobi, Partner at Target Partners.
Roland Manger, Managing Partner at Earlybird Venture Capital, says: "Scoreloop and RIM agreed to take mobile gaming to the next level together. The cross platform approach continues, but you’ll see that the BlackBerry solution will be unparalleled.”
Over the past few months, Scoreloop has had the chance to become intimately acquainted with the RIM team and their strategy and ambition to build the market-leading platform for mobile games.
Scoreloop´s Marc Gumpinger says: “We’re convinced of RIM´s commitment to make BlackBerry the best place for gamers and game developers alike, and so we’ve joined forces to help make this reality!”
