Stuart Poole, General Manager of YoYo Games said, "It’s been clear to us from the first time we spoke to them that the whole of the team at Opera is incredibly passionate about games. We are also thrilled to find future synergies between YoYo Games’ products and Opera GX." We look forward to further growing Opera GX and to driving the growth of GameMaker, making it more accessible to novice users and developing it into the world’s leading 2D game engine used by commercial studios. "We see the platform as being an ideal acquisition to complement our global ambitions in gaming, along with our Opera GX gaming browser. "We are very excited to start working with the team at YoYo Games," said Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera. Update: Opera have now confirmed they now own YoYo Games in a blog post written today, January 20.
