“GamersGate’s growing audience and expanding library of critically acclaimed and independent titles is the perfect destination for our games,” said Erik Schreuder, CEO and Founder of Iceberg Interactive. “We strive to produce the best possible gaming experience, and strongly believe that how and where gamers buy their games is a big part of that experience.”
Poker Simulator, available for both PC and Mac, will be released on GamersGate’s Mac section, which launched on June 10.
