My.Games is being sold. The studio owns popular MMO games such as Skyforge, Allods Online, Warface, and Conqueror’s Blade. In the deal, 642 million euros are exchanged.
Previously, My.Games belonged to VK Company and the Mail.ru Group. In a post on their website, they announced that the gaming company is being sold. The buyer is Aleksander Chachava from LETA Capital. Both are Russian firms. LETA offered 642 million for the company along with all its games.
LETA Capital is a capital firm focusing on technology. They invest in video games, as well as in new technologies such as AI.
What does VK say? After the sale, VK Company plans to continue developing its own games and publishing them in Russia. “VK will continue to develop its own gaming services and market them under the VK Play brand in Russia.”
Vladimir Nikolskiy, a co-founder of My.Games, will remain at the sold company and thus leave VK. The games will not completely pass into foreign hands.
Activision Blizzard has also been sold – to Microsoft.
What changes for the sold games? For now, nothing changes – especially since Nikolskiy remains. Whether the new owners plan any future changes for any of the MMOs or other games from My.Games is currently unknown.
What do you think about the sale of My.Games? What do you think about the amount that was paid? Do you know the two companies? Do you play any of the games and are you worried about possible changes? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
