In an odd coincidence with our last story, Hasbro purchased a majority stake in iOs game maker Backflip Studios. The company is known for mobile games such as Dragonvale and Ragdoll Blaster.

From their statement:

We are thrilled to announce today that we are selling a majority stake in Backflip Studios to Hasbro. The company will stay in Boulder, CO and will continue to be run by the current management team. In addition to producing original new titles and updating popular favorites, we will now have access to Hasbro’s catalog of well-known brands for future mobile development. We will proceed with our long held strategy of building a large and active network of satisfied users through compelling gameplay.

Looks like Hasbro is jumping in the video game arena and bringing this key sector somewhat in-house. Let's hope more awesome Transformers, G.I. Joe and other boys brands games make it our way soon.
