Each of the founders has had considerable experience in video game development. Igor Efremov started his two-decade-long career in the industry at EA later taking the position of the chief commercial officer at Keywords Studios. Meanwhile, Mark Rizzo had worked in Sperasoft, Sony, and EA and served as global operations director of Keywords Studios.
