Spil Games is a Dutch video game company. The group owns more than 50 online casual games websites and is becoming one of the major actors on the mobile game industry.
History
Spill Group was formed by two Dutch entrepreneurs in 2001. The first online games website (spelletjes.nl) was launched in 2004, in the Dutch market. At this time, the target audience was mostly teenager girls.
In 2007 Spill Group acquired a majority share in the Chinese game development company zLong and began producing games. In 2007, portals were also expanded to the US and UK.
The 2008 acquisition of the MMO (massive multiplayer online) site/community, onrpg.com, moved the company into the MMORPG segment.
In July 2008, Spill group changed the company name and rebranded to Spil Games.
In total, Spil Games expanded its segmented and localized approach with more than 50 websites where people can play games online in 20 languages.
In May 2014 the company announced that it will fire a substantial portion of its work force - 90 out of 240 full time positions - as a result of a move from website to mobile and tablet games.[1] In 2015 the company is raising on the mobile game market and start to hire new positions.
Audience
In 2015, the company has 100 million unique visitors hit on the web platform every month, leading to daily peak traffic hitting 1.5 Gbps and it is one of the major mobile game actors on Google Play and App Store.
Technologies
The games of Spil Games websites are mostly free browser-based Flash and HTML5 casual games. The company is using OpenStack and mostly free software for its infrastructure.[2]
