About
Playfish was a social gaming company that developed free-to-play games for Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, iPhone, and Android platforms. Founded in London in 2007, Playfish built a portfolio of hit titles including Pet Society, Restaurant City, Country Story, Word Challenge, and Who Has the Biggest Brain, attracting tens of millions of monthly active users. Playfish pioneered the asynchronous social gaming model — games played alongside friends on social networks. Electronic Arts (EA) acquired Playfish in November 2009 for approximately $300 million, and it operated as an EA studio until being shut down in 2013.
