Future Games will give developers access to its network of 18 million users from 77 countries worldwide. Say What?!, the first title to be released via the new service, is a music game for iPhone that sees players matching lyrics to popular songs by the likes of Calvin Harris and The Zutons. Ian Harper, managing director of FGOL, explained, "We’ll essentially be acting as agents, not publishers, allowing our developer partners to retain and control their IP rights and responsibilities." "The aim of FGN is to support our partners’ fantastic games with heavy promotion that would be prohibitively expensive by other means."
