continue offering our clients the latest advances in mobile games.
Gamers in many European countries have yet to see branded real-time

change to make this part of our offering to our global distribution
base."

will allow us to get people playing our games around the world and to
enjoy the great experiences we have built into our games. We will also
be able to take our technology to the next stage with the full backing
