>Our mission is to create the greatest online gaming experience. We have heavily invested in the tools and technology to enable this experience and provide these to you free of charge. In exchange, we receive a 30% fee for helping you publish and promote your games to millions of potential customers globally. In fact, we take it a step further and provide services other online platforms don’t. For example, we take care of hosting, servers, analytics, marketing, payment processing, and we even provide developers with a live staging service (Developer Hub) to A/B test and optimize different development versions of a game.
