Machine Zone launches cloud platform to process millions of real-time interactions

Machine Zone, one of the top-ranked mobile game companies, said it is launching a platform today that lets other companies license its cloud technology to enable many millions of people to communicate and interact in real time.

The company, which makes the hugely popular multiplayer Game of War, said it is also renaming itself MZ. MZ consistently has two games in the top-five top-grossing list on the mobile app stores — a feat that is exceedingly difficult to achieve in the $34.8 billion mobile game industry.
