Games That Matter, the production studio started by the ex-heads of Rockstar Vienna, has been acquired by Deep Silver. The announcement was just dropped in Leipzig, so, expect a press release soon. There have been no public updates on the two confidential “major console and PC titles” that GTM have announced their involvement in since we wrote about the company founding in January 2007.

Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products in Europe, acquires the Austrian games production company Games That Matter.

The company merges with Koch Media’s premium games label, Deep Silver. Games That Matter’s structure and goals remain the same: Deep Silver Vienna fully concentrates on high quality games, especially for consoles. In the center of all efforts are producing, successful publishing and establishing new brands.

JoWooD today announced the acquisition of Canada’s DreamCatcher Games, a publisher and big player in North America’s action-adventure games market. The acquisition helps JoWooD to gain access to the tricky PC market in North America, where titles such as Gothic 3 and Spellforce have yet to find an audience comparable to that in Europe. The deal is rumored to be all stock and is subject to anti-trust approvals before it can go through.
