SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 07/20/15 — , a leading interactive media company, today announced it had acquired Solitaire Arena and Solitaire 3 Arena, hit cross-platform games for iOS, Android, and Facebook, from MavenHut, a top social game developer whose titles have quickly become favorites on all three platforms. The acquisition is expected to grow RockYou–s daily active user base by over 2 million players.
“We–re very pleased to welcome Solitaire Arena–s dedicated fans to RockYou–s community,” said RockYou CEO Lisa Marino. “These are more classic titles that we can enable to live on and engage our users with for years to come, while we continue expanding our mobile reach and provide entertaining content that consumers love.”
