WildTangent (partially found PC/online games; 1999-2018)
WildTangent was a PC/web game company founded in 1998 by Alex St. John and Jeremy Kenyon.
WildTangent used to develop their own original games, sometimes to advertise various companies, TV, and movies. Most of the WildTangent titles were discontinued and have become lost or missing.
The reason they discontinued their games is unknown. However, they were criticized because their games contain spyware, the company no longer distributes or develops Web Driver.
WildTangent have since distributing other games from other companies and other developers.
The company used to offer anybody to buy WildCoins for any games, it has been since discontinued.
Most of WildTangent games were all stored in GIT type system/source safe so no one needed personal copies, according to a former WildTangent employee. But no information have been confirmed.
The company used to developed their own original mobile games and used to be available on App Store (for iOS) and Google Play (for Android), but has been since removed and no longer available to purchase.
Gamigo AG have since acquired the company in 2019.
Technology
In order to play WildTangent games, the user would have to install WildTangent Web Driver and Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Java would need to be uninstalled or disabled in case it blocked these games from running. The antivirus software would have to be disabled in case it blocked them from running as well.
The games had online and offline versions, but the online versions no longer function.
WildTangent owns Genesis3D game engine, but the company do not handle responsibilities for Genesis3D games.
