RemoteMyApp, the fully-fledged cloud gaming solution provider, signed a licensing deal with 505 Games for access to several of their high-quality gaming titles.
Control and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night are now available on Deutsche Telekom’s cloud gaming platform, MagentaGaming, supported by RMA’s streaming technology.

It is our great pleasure to reveal RMA’s brand new partnership agreement with the multiplatform game publisher, 505 Games. RMA will offer a selection of the Italian publisher’s titles – Control (Remedy Entertainment), Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Starbreeze Studios) and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (ArtPlay) – to our B2B partners.

“Content is king”. Following this motto, RMA licensed the first triple-A titles for MagentaGaming, Deutsche Telekom’s cloud gaming service. The German platform, which was built with the support of RMA’s streaming technology, will further expand its appeal with the addition of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and Control. The latter title is the critically-acclaimed action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment. Released in August 2019, Control has been played by millions of players around the world and received more than 80 gaming awards. Other additions to the MagentaGaming game catalog will be revealed throughout the year.

RemoteMyApp is a cloud gaming B2B solution provider that offers seamless streaming technology and the most advanced technological solutions around the globe. The company can assist in establishing infrastructure optimized for cloud gaming and in reaching dedicated servers’ distributors. Additionally, RMA’s holistic vision encompasses securing an excellent content offer for all present and future partners. Being a one-stop-shop, RMA is a perfect partner not only for the entities that would like to offer cloud gaming platforms to their end-users but also publishers that believe in the potential of cloud gaming.

Founded in 2007 in Milan, Italy, the publisher 505 Games, is a daughter company of Digital Bros. Digital Bros itself has four development studios under its brand, namely DR Studios, Kunos Simulazioni, Infinity Plus 2 and Avantgarden. The publisher launches premium games like the previously mentioned cinematic 3rd person action game Control, Journey to the Savage Planet, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Terraria, the Assetto Corsa franchise, Indivisible, PAYDAY 2, and free-to-play games, including Gems of War and Puzzle Quest 3.

“Getting the first AAA titles licensed for our cloud gaming service is a very big dream that finally came true. RMA is now able to supply top-notch content to current and future B2B partners. This makes our cloud gaming offer even more lucrative by significantly raising its attractiveness for the subscribers who appreciate high-end games. 505 Games titles are unique, involving, and fast-paced. I am proud and delighted that such important publishers start to acknowledge cloud gaming as a new way to monetize their games.” – says Andreas Hestbeck, CEO of RemoteMyApp.

“We are very happy that with this partnership we can not only expand our list of AAA titles but also have the possibility to have great titles on our platform from the first release day on in future”, adds Dominik Lauf, Program Lead and Chief Product Officer at MagentaGaming from Deutsche Telekom.

RemoteMyApp founded in 2014 in Szczecin, Poland, is now in advanced negotiations with many known publishers. More partnerships will be announced later this year. The company that got a capital injection from Deutsche Telekom’s strategic investment fund, Telekom Innovation Pool GmbH, in June 2020, has become one of the most-recognized cloud gaming solution providers available.

Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.

Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.

Recognizing Early Signs

“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:

Exhaustion and Irritability

Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.

Gaming Obsession

If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.

Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests

A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.

Emotional Volatility

Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.

Physical Strain

Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.

Neglecting Basic Needs

If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.

Creating a Supportive Environment

While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.

Teamwork and Setting Boundaries

“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.

Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.

Open Communication

Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.

Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”

SPGA Introduces Code of Conduct to Highlight Member Commitment to Compliance and Safety in Social and Promotional Gaming

The Social and Promotional Gaming Association (SPGA), an organization dedicated to providing stakeholder education and advocating for the responsible operation of social games offering promotional sweepstakes prizes, today announced the implementation of a Code of Conduct for its operator members.

The Code of Conduct is designed to spotlight the processes and technologies already in place at both SPGA member sites and the majority of social casinos offering promotional sweepstakes, also referred to as social sweeps games.

Social sweeps games combine the established social casino model, on which Americans have spent over $40 billion in the last decade, and add promotional prizes. No purchase is necessary to win prizes, and the vast majority of users play for free.

The foundational pillars of the Code of Conduct include the application of regulation-grade suppliers, technology, or policies to ensure:

Age verification to limit real money play to users 18 and older
Proper identity verification (Know Your Customer or KYC)
Location verification of customers
AML policies to ensure proper transaction monitoring

“The pillars of the SPGA Code of Conduct highlight the technology and processes already in place at most social sweeps operators to ensure that the millions of adults who enjoy these games do so in a safe and reliable environment,” said Camilla Wright of Red Knot Communications, a spokesperson for the SPGA.

“The standards of the Code of Conduct go above and beyond the accepted best practices for traditional social casinos.”

In the months ahead, the SPGA will release more details on the Code of Conduct, introduce additional pillars, and engage an external firm to certify member compliance with the Code.

“We look forward to continuing to develop the Code of Conduct to further strengthen the commitment of SPGA members to compliance and player protection while providing consumers with a highly social and engaging experience that is always free to play,” said Wright.
