Wooga founder and CEO Jens Begemann said in the blog post that “mobile is the gaming industry’s biggest driver at the moment.” He adds that over the past year, Wooga has invested half of its game designers, engineers and artists to work on new mobile titles. The game studio has also trained eight of its Flash developers in iOS development, with five more studios receiving training by year’s end. All employees will be provided with either an iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S III in hopes to get the entire company to focus more on mobile.Wooga Facebook Connect graph
