Wargaming.net has acquired middleware company BigWorld. The $45 million deal will see 25 BigWorld employees join the hundreds working at Wargaming.net, and help to lower development costs for the World of Tanks publisher.
“This very crucial for us, as we want to control the technology provider we are using, now we can integrate them to make internal development more efficient,” said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. “BigWorld has a licensing business of its own, and we will continue to support its customers. We will be in a position in the future, if everything goes right, to offer the combined BigWorld and Wargaming technology to anyone who wants to do an MMO.”
