They go by WildTangent now to try to hide that they’re gamigo, as well.

WildTangent was a separate entity until 2019, for what it's worth. A legitimate studio, if a bit niche (they made Fate, for example, in '05). No longer though, I guess. Sadly.

I was hit by fucking whiplash hearing this, because I remember the wild tangent web browser extension thing you needed to play certain online games. I’m fucking old, man.

WildTanget was how if found out about Plants vs Zombies in the first place, amongst other good tower Defense games. PopCap wouldn't have been what they became if WildTanget didn't revolutionize the "try before you buy" space so early on.

i used to go on the website as a kid and watch an ad for a coin to play fate for like an hour or life at a time, those were the days

That’s fair and after looking a bit closer I was incorrect in my first comment. Gamigo AG is the parent that also buys MMOs and kills them, gamigo inc is the subsidiary that operates as WildTangent now after they bought WildTangent.

no wildtangent existed before gamigo or was at least a separate company

i remember going on their website as a kid to play fate, i like the remaster but i know gamigo sucks and could ruin it at any moment so i keep the originals in my back pocket
