Gameloft

Gameloft is an international video games company founded 1999 on December 14 by Michel Guillemot, a co-founder of UBSoft. Gameloft is known for creating popular mobile games such as Asphalt, Modern Combat, the Dungeon Hunter series, and the Gangster series. It is also famous for making high-quality games for smartphones, tablets, and other digital platforms.

Gameloft is also known as a game cloner. Because most of its games are inspired by other popular games, the graphical interface and quality of all the games are much better than those that have been copied, which gives a good experience. They give importance to quality over quantity. They have 190+ games right now.

When they started, their focus was on making as many games as possible. But in 2014, they announced that their main focus would only be improving game quality. That’s why their game quality is much better than that of other companies.

Gameloft creates every type of game, including racing, FPS, shooting, and open-world. They also make casual games. Different types of people play their games, which is why their gaming audience is very large.

Another good thing about them is that they don’t give ads in their games. After all, a game is earned through ads, transactions, or direct resale of the game. Out of these three things, Gameloft has kept us away from ads. This is excellent because ads disturb our gaming experience, especially in campaign games. Suppose you were playing a game and suddenly an ad appeared. How angry will you be? While other game companies earn millions of dollars from ads. Gameloft says, “Traditionally, Gameloft-like King always refused to run in games advertising in its title. It thought, ‘Why encourage our players to leave our games for a competitor’s?”

As the amount of cash that could be generated from such brand advertising and rewarded video ads increased, this philosophy became unsustainable, even for the likes of King Gameloft and King.
