GameSalad Acquires Together Games Asynchronous Multiplayer Game Server Platform

Earlier this year GameSalad integrated the Together Games asynchronous multiplayer game server platform and now they have announced they have purchased Together Games entirely.

This feature is currently available in the company’s latest "nightly" build and will be re-enabled in their next release.
