EA Buys Up App Game Developer Firemint
When you look for the very best racing game on the Apple App Store you will undoubtedly hit Real Racing, a fantastically well thought out and well mapped game where you try and smoke all other racers in the game. This app was created by Firemint, and with this pedigree in mind, EA Games have just bought them up for an undisclosed sum paving the way for EA to break in to the mobile gaming market (especially racing).
On top of featuring the best racing game on the Apple App Store, Real Racing 2, Firemint also develop apps for Android and Windows Phone 7.
On the aquisition, Barry Cottle, executive vice president and general manger of EA Interactive said in a statement, “The Firemint team is remarkable for its critical and commercial success”.
