Second Life creator, Linden Lab, announced today that it acquired the PC digital distribution service Desura.
“Desura’s talented team, thriving business, and impressive technology are a great fit for Linden Lab,” CEO of Linden Lab, Rod Humble said in a statement. “This acquisition gives us a global platform for serving creative developers of all kinds, and we’re looking forward to growing both Desura’s global community of gamers and its fantastic portfolio of thousands of games, mods, and other content. Our aim is to invest and support the Desura team in making it the most open and developer-friendly platform in the world.”
Desura was created by the PC modding hub, Mod DB, and has a primary focus on content from independent developers. The service will continue uninterrupted for current users, as the technology and team become a part of Linden Lab.
