Dotemu SAS (originally DotEmu SAS) is a French video game developer and publisher based in the 9th arrondissement of Paris,[1] founded in 2007 by Xavier Liard and Romain Tisserand.
History[]
Dotemu was founded by Xavier Liard and Romain Tisserand in 2007.[2] The company's offices are located in Paris, close to the Folies Bergère.[2]
In April 2010, Dotemu launched a new digital distribution service that would sell games without digital rights management, akin to Good Old Games.[3] In March 2017, Dotemu announced that their online store would be closed down on 1 June that year.[4] The company cited a too strong market competition and their focus shifting towards game development rather than game distribution.[5][6]
In September 2015, Liard and Tisserand sold their company to an unnamed, private investor.[7] Later that month, they founded a new video game publisher, Playdigious.[8] Subsequently, in October 2014, Cyrille Imbert was appointed as Dotemu's chief executive officer.[2] In March 2018, Dotemu announced the creation of The Arcade Crew, a publishing label that would support small development teams.[9][10]
