DotEmu SAS is a French video game developer and publisher based in Paris, founded in 2007 by Xavier Liard and Romain Tisserand.
History
DotEmu was founded by Xavier Liard and Romain Tisserand in 2007.[1] The company's offices are located in Paris, close to the Folies Bergère.[1]
In April 2010, DotEmu launched a new digital distribution service that would sell games without digital rights management, akin to Good Old Games.[2]
In March 2017, DotEmu announced that their online store would be closed down on 1 June that year.[3] The company cited a too strong market competition and their focus shiting towards game development rather than game distribution.[4][5] In September 2017, DotEmu founders Liard and Tisserand sold their company an unnamed, private investor.[6] Subsequently, in October 2014, Cyrille Imbert became as DotEmu's chief executive officer.[1] Liard and Tisserand later founded a new video game publisher, Playdigious, in September 2015.[7]
In March 2018, DotEmu announced the creation of The Arcade Crew, a publishing label that would support small development teams.[8][9]
