PlayPhone says over 1,600 developers have signed up for its SDK including Perfect World, Big Blue Bubble, China Wireless Arts, Magic Universe, HaKuNa, Nimbus Games, Tictoc Games, and others.
“The formal release of the PlayPhone SGN is the culmination of more than a years’ worth of work from our global product teams,” said Anders Evju, SVP and GM, PlayPhone, Inc.
“We’re building the best social gaming network for players and developers. Since we’re not focused on developing our own games, we don’t make content decisions based on profit margins or hidden agendas to push first-party titles.
"Gamers make the final call, and they can discover and play the very best games from our developer partners on the PlayPhone SGN.”
