Playdom Acquires Game Developer Acclaim

Social game developer Playdom has announced the acquisition of the more mainstream games developer, Acclaim today for an undisclosed amount of money.

The name “Acclaim” is most recognizable as a developer and publisher of various arcade and console games until it went under in 2004. It was resurrected by current CEO Howard Marks in 2006, and moved more into massively multiplayer online role-playing games (such as Chronicles of Spellborn), and the more recently popular Facebook, Guitar Hero’esque title, RockFREE which currently garners around 370,000 monthly active users.
