RealNetworks trying to tap into Social Gaming
The price tag is said to be around $50 million for New York based Gametrust as reported by TechCrunch. In January 2004 RealNetworks acquired Seattle based GameHouse for $34.6 million. In February 2006 they acquired Dutch game company Zylom Media Group fo $21 million. In February of this year they acquired Brazil game company Atrativa for an undisclosed price. RealNetworks has been heading in the wrong direction as they had with online music, however the acquisition of Gametrust should put them back on track for better social gaming.
