Black Cow licences OGA software to The Games Company

Game server software specialist Black Cow Technology has agreed a deal to licence its Open Gaming Architecture (OGA) software to The Games Company.

Under the long-term agreement, The Games Company will use OGA software to power its new remote game server (RGS) and deliver games to operators across the industry.

The Games Company is in the process of integrating the new RGS into a tier-one platform ahead of a planned launch during the first quarter of next year.

“We have been very impressed with the flexibility, efficiency and control that OGA provides our development team with,” The Games Company chief executive Hans Winkelman said.

“We have worked with a range of different solutions over the years and can say undoubtedly that OGA is the best of its kind.”

Tony Plaskow, who was appointed commercial director of Black Cow in June of this year, added: “With OGA powering their RGS, The Games Company now control their own destiny and we are excited to work with them as they integrate into ever more platforms and operators.”
