Roblox has quietly acqui-hired Bash Video, a social video conferencing platform that Kongregate cofounder Jim Greer started.

It’s a small deal, as Bash Video only has six employees, but Greer is well known in gaming circles. Greer founded Kongregate with his sister, Emily Greer, in 2006. That company focused on publishing web games from indie developers, and it grew over time. Greer posted the news on his Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Roblox acknowledged the deal in a statement.
