  "account": "HandyGames has undergone a rebranding, now operating under the name THQ Nordic Mobile. The shift in focus is toward bringing premium PC and console titles to mobile platforms. Based in Giebelstadt, Germany, HandyGames has previously published mobile adaptations of games such as Wreckfest, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, and Titan Quest. The company's internal development studio will continue to operate under the HandyGames name, responsible for developing original titles and assisting with THQ Nordic Mobile's technical porting work. Co-founders Christopher Kassulke and Markus Kassulke retain control over both the publishing label and the development studio. THQ Nordic, which acquired HandyGames in 2018, has confirmed that existing development pipelines, support for live titles, and current licensing agreements will remain unaffected by the restructuring. All HandyGames intellectual property has been transferred to THQ Nordic.",
