About DECA Games

We believe that games should be played for decades but many are abandoned even when a loyal community is screaming to keep them alive. DECA specializes in acquiring games from other developers and reinvigorating them to continue to entertain for decades. When other studios see an old game, we see a fantastic set of problems to solve and a huge opportunity.

DECA is a remote company with over 300 people in over 30 countries globally. DECA is also a part of the Embracer Group, the largest public gaming company in Europe.

About our culture

We’ve managed to maintain a small company feel with the stability and resources of a much larger one. We fully believe in the flexibility of a remote workplace. Team members are trusted to manage their time and get things done independently. We think that egos and politics need to be checked at the virtual door. That means no jerks are allowed, that no job is too small for anyone, and an openness to help and learn from each other is required. We love the challenge of working within constraints and love when we succeed as a team. Check out more about us and our values on our website (www.decagames.com).

DECA Games operates with a unique customer-centric approach, focusing on breathing new life into beloved games that might otherwise be sunsetted by their original developers. Many players invest years into these games, building communities and creating lasting memories. Our customers face the potential loss of these virtual worlds and the communities they've become a part of when original developers can no longer support them. This is why DECA Games steps in. We are an indie publisher completely focused on live operations and games as a service, taking over and reinvigorating games as they age. Our team understands that players are not just customers, but passionate fans. We listen to what our fans want and keep them constantly updated with what we are working on. This commitment ensures that the loyal fans of our games receive a continual cycle of entertainment and excitement, creating a unique experience they can find nowhere else.

Our process involves expert analysis, where we couple our vast experience in free-to-play design and operations with data analysis to find new opportunities to grow and improve the game. We work to understand what's working and what isn't to inform how we manage the game. Even if a game has a complex, years-old codebase with no documentation, our flexible development approach allows us to take it on. We recognize that live events are a key piece to long-term retention and improved engagement, and we excel at implementing these. By focusing on strong communities, we've been able to successfully operate and enhance games like Realm of the Mad God, Knights & Dragons, Zombie Catchers, and DragonVale. We believe games can last for decades, and our entire company and its approach are built around that belief. We treat each game and its players with respect, ensuring they are in good hands with us. This dedication to the player experience and the longevity of games is what defines DECA Games and our mission to keep these established titles thriving for their dedicated communities.
