Making Fun launches expansion for mobile role-playing game Mage and Minions

Making Fun is announcing a major expansion for its Mage and Minions mobile role-playing game today.

The title is a success for a game company with a lot of history. It was created by John Welch, cofounder of PlayFirst, as a social-mobile game publisher. Making Fun was acquired by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. in 2011. Welch bought out News Corp. and spun out the company as an independent game publisher in January, 2013, and it has been teaming up with small development companies to publish their titles ever since.
