Scopely acquires Star Trek Fleet Command maker Digit Game Studios

Mobile game publisher Scopely has acquired Digit Game Studios, the developer that made the mobile online strategy game Star Trek Fleet Command.

That’s consistent with the “eat or be eaten” trend of mobile gaming, and it follows a pattern where a publisher will acquire an outside developer for a highly successful game. The purchase price was not disclosed. But Scopely is on a $400 million revenue run rate thanks to big hits like this Star Trek game, which has surpassed $50 million in revenue in a few months.
