Yahoo Acquires Gaming Company PlayerScale

PlayerScale, a cross-platform game infrastructure startup that provides tools for games played by 150 million users on platforms such as iOS and Android, announced the acquisition on its site today. And — unlike recent Yahoo acquisitions like Astrid – CEO Jesper Jensen said the company would continue to operate as it has, supporting over 2,600 developers and 4,000 games.

Their sudden push into mobile gaming is rather intriguing. I think we’ll see a lot more games related acquisitions by Yahoo over the Summer.

Marissa Mayer and Yahoo are on fire, acquiring gaming company PlayerScale
If I can paraphrase a popular Alicia Keys song, this woman is on fire. Marissa Mayer is clearly moving Yahoo back into the center of the Silicon Valley tech conversation.
