History
Dotemu was founded by Xavier Liard and Romain Tisserand in 2007.[2] The company's offices are located in Paris, close to the Folies Bergère.[2]
In April 2010, Dotemu launched a digital distribution service that would sell games without digital rights management, akin to Good Old Games.[3] In March 2017, Dotemu announced that their online store would be closed down on 1 June that year.[4] The company cited tough market competition and their focus shifting towards game development rather than game distribution.[5][6]
In September 2015, Liard and Tisserand sold their company to an unnamed private investor.[7] Later that month, they founded a new video game publisher, Playdigious (who would later publish Dotemu’s games on mobile platforms).[8] Subsequently, in October 2014, Cyrille Imbert was appointed as Dotemu's chief executive officer.[2] In March 2018, Dotemu announced the creation of The Arcade Crew, a publishing label that would support small development teams.[9][10]
In August 2021, the company was acquired by Focus Home Interactive (now Focus Entertainment) for approximately €38.5 million (US$46 million).[11]
