History
Ian Lynch Smith founded Freeverse in 1994 as a shareware company.

On February 22, 2010, it was announced that Freeverse had been acquired by ngmoco.[1]
On October 12, 2010, Japanese-based DeNA announced its acquisition of ngmoco for $400,000,000.[2] Ngmoco became the regional headquarters for all Western subsidiaries of DeNA, including studios in Vancouver, Santiago de Chile, Amsterdam, and Stockholm.
