Archiact, founded in 2013, is a leading force in the development of virtual reality products. Its star product, Lamper VR, is currently the only VR game that is supported on all mobile VR platforms. Meanwhile, Archiact has signed contracts with developers of the most popular VR games in the Oculus store, like DarkNet, to be the only publisher of those games in the Chinese and greater Asian-Pacific market. 37Games' founder and President Li Yi Fei told the press that Archiact's competence as a VR developer and extensive network within the industry were some of the factors 37Games valued the most upon their acquisition.
37Games, a top 30 internet company in China, started its overseas expansion early in 2012 and was one of the first Chinese companies that exported their browser games to the international market. It has been a market leader in Asian markets like Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Its market share in Europe, America and some other English speaking countries is also growing rapidly. In terms of mobile games, 37Games is developing steadily in the SEA market and outperforms its peers. Last year, 37Games initiated its "Rising Dragon" Plan, investing 100 million dollars (USD) in game studios all over the world within the next 5 years to expand its worldwide market share. Investing in Archiact is part of the plan, as VR games development has been included in 37Games future business scope. With Archiact's help, 37Games will enjoy extensive advantages in the emerging VR games market.
