Disruptor Beam has changed its name to Beamable and pivoted to making a technology platform that enables mobile game developers to scale, monetize, and sustain their games. The move was expected after Tilting Point acquired Disruptor Beam’s Star Trek: Timelines mobile and PC game as well as the team that made it.

Beamable CEO Jon Radoff said in an interview with GamesBeat that one of the greatest challenges game makers face is balancing precious resources. It is all about the tension between creating what they and their players love and the need to make the business work. His company is pivoting to help game studios find that balance.
