SHERMAN OAKS, Calif.—Waat Media, which provides adult-oriented mobile-phone programming, is dipping its toe into the mobile gaming space with the acquisition of mobile-game developer Charismatix Ltd. & Co.
Germany-based Charismatix develops Java-based games and entertainment products.
Ian Aaron, Waat’s newly appointed chief executive officer, noted Charismatix’s development team and porting and download platforms were some of the reasons it pursued the company. He also said the acquisition is a strategic move as Waat moves into mobile Web dating, video chat, branded poker and casino games, and other “late-night mobile entertainment” programming.<
