Hi Firestarters,
We've got some very exciting news to share with you.
As you know, we have big plans for how we want to develop and improve Playfire. However, as we're such a small team, we're not able to move as quickly as we'd like.
We've been talking about this issue with our friends at Green Man Gaming, and they made us the offer of merging with them. Doing this would mean we'd be part of a much bigger dev team, and there'd be lots of resources for things like regular game giveaways, while still remaining an independent site.
That last bit is really important to us. We want this partnership to improve Playfire, and that's exactly what it will do. There'll be more staff around to help with any issues and questions, and we'll be part of a larger dev, which will help us achieve more of our big visions for Playfire.
Playfire will remain it's own site and community, and it's not going to suddenly be overloaded with ads from GMG. I'll still be here helping to improve the site. This is a way of helping us to make Playfire even better, and we'll have more resources to make your experience better.
Naturally it will take some time to get things worked through, but we already have a nice feature that many of you guys have asked for coming up in the next week or two, which wouldn't be possible without the help of the GMG guys.
I'm personally incredibly excited and can't wait. I want to introduce you to Rob - Otherwise known as Wayward - who will be actively involved in Playfire on the community side. Please drop any questions in the comments here and we'll reply to each one - there's a also a post on the forum if you would rather post there!
Happy gaming!
Rebon, Wayward & The Playfire Team
