GameHouse's main offices are in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. As a result, all customers visiting the RealArcade website are redirected to. Such plans include migrating the accounts of users from RealArcade, offering discounts and special offers to GamePass members and new social community opportunities. On November 3, 2009, RealArcade had announced they are merging with GameHouse to create a large distribution platform.
Īfter the acquisition, the GameHouse studio continued operations as a developer, while its games were distributed via RealNetworks, and the GameHouse game portal continued to operate alongside the RealArcade gaming service. In 2004, GameHouse was acquired by RealNetworks for $14.6 million cash and about 3.3 million RNWK shares, then estimated at $21 million. In 2003, company revenues topped $10 million ($5.5 million net). The first downloadable game developed by the company was Collapse!, a game similar to SameGame. GameHouse was founded by Ben Exworthy and Garr Godfrey in 1998.
