Aggregator/Distributor Network Reach

In an effort to assist both independent and established developers and publishers have better visibility into where exactly their games are being distributed and to help avoid channel conflicts, the Casual Games SIG has solicited the following official network lists from the major aggregator distributors in the marketplace. We also invite the community to help us document, unofficially other evident distribution points.


These lists are NOT designed to document where publishers distribute their games - only aggregators distributing to third party websites they feed or operate in some substantial manner.


Important notes about the collection and editing of this data

Some aggregrators and distributors willingly participated and provided partial or complete, official distribution lists. All sizeable players were invited to do so. Companies with an (Early Contributor) notation next to their names provided their networks at the beginning of this initiative, and we would like to recognize and thank them.


The community is now welcome to expand on the lists; however, PLEASE DO NOT ADD CONFIDENTIAL DATA as the IGDA and the Casual Games SIG are not responsible for your postings. Also, we have purposely distinguished between company provided, official information and community-supplied, unofficial information. Please maintain this distinction and do not edit official information unless you are an authorized representative of that company.
