Enemy Unknown Relies On Open Social And Sees Gaming Business Lucrative
I managed to have a chat with Thor Olof, the CEO of Enemy Unknown a while back. Despite being a simple chat between two people, there was a lot of good about the business of online games and decisions they have taken as a company that I thought I'd share with you. Enemy Unknown is the company behind the service Avatars United. Avatars United in turn is a service - let's put it this way; it's Facebook for in-game avatars.
Enemy Unknown has taken the slightly different and perhaps not that common approach with their technology. They have adopted the Open Social initiative as part of their technology. Open Social, as you may know - is a single standard of an API that has the bigger idea of making sharing data between sites faster and easier to come by (as developers don't have to learn propietary APIs from different sites).
