Mr.Goodliving Ltd. was a Finnish video game developer and a video game publisher based in Helsinki, Finland. It was founded in 1999, and acquired by RealNetworks on 6 May 2005.[1] Mr.Goodliving was focused on games for mobile phones, the iPhone and other high-end portable devices.
The company was best known for the casual sports game franchise Playman Sports,[2] spanning numerous incarnations such as Playman Summer Games, Playman Winter Games[3] and Playman World Soccer. Along with original intellectual property, the company worked with several high-profile licenses such as Trivial Pursuit,[4] South Park,[5] Scrabble,[6] and the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.[7]
In addition to its games, Mr.Goodliving developed EMERGE, a proprietary development platform which enables rapid and scalable publishing of games to more than 2000 handsets in 20 languages.[3]
