Back in the mid-2000s, when browser games were booming and virtual worlds were just getting started, FlowPlay saw a golden opportunity to build online communities around casual games.  Our journey led us to create an unprecedented massively multiplayer online (MMO) games platform that connects 75 million players around the world.
