History

Pipeworks Software was founded in Eugene, Oregon, in November 1999 by Dan White and Dan Duncalf, two developers formerly of Dynamix.[1][2][3][4] White and Duncalf assumed the roles of chief technical officer and president, respectively, and Phil Cowles was hired as director of business development.[5] On April 12, 2005, it was announced that Pipeworks had been acquired by Foundation 9 Entertainment, a video game conglomerate company founded the month prior.[1] Subsequently, Duncalf joined Foundation 9's board of directors.[1] By May 2010, Pipeworks had 60 employees.[3] In September 2014, under advisory from GP Bullhound, Foundation 9 sold Pipeworks to Italian game publishing company Digital Bros.[4][6] By February 2016, Pipeworks employed 75 people and had changed its name to Pipeworks Studio.[4] Following poor financial results for the company, Digital Bros sold Pipeworks off to Northern Pacific Group for US$20 million in February 2018, and the studio was later renamed Pipeworks Studios.[7]

gollark: This is not based. What happens when a better standard inevitably arises?

gollark: The best part is those baseband processors. Full access to basically all the radio hardware, decades of legacy code, entirely closed-source and probably unaudited!

gollark: All widely deployed software is inevitably awful, as they say.

gollark: Also that the entire phone hardware/software stack is a horrifying inconsistent mess.

gollark: It's very annoying that the high-performance phone SoCs which exist have terrible IO and/or aren't sold to the SBC-making companies.
