Riot Games is an American video game developer founded in 2006 that built League of Legends, the free-to-play team battle game that became one of the most played titles in the world and the foundation of modern esports. It has since released the tactical shooter Valorant, the card game Legends of Runeterra, the mobile title Wild Rift and the animated series Arcane, all set in the same fictional universe, and it operates the professional leagues around its games directly rather than licensing them out. Headquartered in Los Angeles and wholly owned by Tencent, it is unusual for running a small number of titles as very long-lived services.

Voodoo is a French mobile gaming and consumer applications company founded in 2013 that built its business on hyper-casual games, titles simple enough to understand in seconds and monetised almost entirely through advertising rather than purchases. As advertising costs rose it moved deliberately into hybrid-casual and subscription applications, acquiring the social network BeReal in 2024 and building a portfolio of utility and dating apps alongside the games. Headquartered in Paris and backed by Tencent and Goldman Sachs, it reports billions of downloads and is one of the largest mobile publishers in the world by install volume.
