Unity Makes GREE a Master-License Holder in Japan
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Aug 30, 2011 - Unity Technologies, makers of the award-winning engine that gives massive flexibility and power for 2D and 3D game creation, announced today that they have reached an agreement with GREE, the leading mobile social gaming platform in Japan. The agreement makes GREE a master-license holder and allows the company to distribute a limited number of licenses at no cost to most of their development partners in Japan. The partnership helps to solidify Unity's place in the Japanese gaming market and further expands their reach into Asian markets.
This agreement will give Unity the opportunity to introduce a large number of developers to their awesome game authoring tools by adding GREE to their expansive network of partners. As a master-license holder, GREE has the right to deliver "Unity for GREE" licenses for Android and iOS to the bulk of their Japanese development network for free. GREE will be able to increase the library of mobile games on the GREE platform while providing their developers with an imminently affordable way to begin development.
"We are excited to extend our relationship with GREE in Japan," said John Goodale, Unity's General Manager in Asia. "GREE and Unity share a common vision, which is to make massive amounts of great content available for the burgeoning smartphone market in Japan. Japanese game developers are known for their innovation and genre-growing game design, and Unity is thrilled to help power that."
In order to maintain excellent developer relations that both Unity and GREE are known for around the world, GREE and Unity will also continue to offer the same development support along with an impressive slate of seminars, classes, and consulting sessions for free.
