The studio had been around for over a decade and had several hits with mobile games like <em>Triple Town</em> and <em>Alphabear</em>. That approachable style of puzzle game seemed like a good fit for Netflix’s mobile-first strategy, and, as Spry Fox cofounder David Edery tells me, the partnership also meant that the team could focus on making the experiences they wanted to build without having to worry about monetization. “We just never were that good at making money from our games,” Edery explains. <br><br>Now, three years later, Spry Fox is once again independent after buying itself out from Netflix. The news comes as the streaming service’s fledgling gaming efforts are shifting, with a focus on TV-based games as opposed to mobile titles. But for Spry Fox, the decision to separate from Netflix was done for a different reason: to reach as large an audience as possible with the studio’s upcoming MMO <em>Spirit Crossing</em>.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-5" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div class="alignment" align="center"><a href="https://link.theverge.com/click/43780728.7440/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL2VudGVydGFpbm1lbnQvODY4NzExL3NwcnktZm94LW5ldGZsaXgtZ2FtZS1zdHVkaW8taW5kaWUtc3Bpcml0LWNyb3NzaW5nP3VlaWQ9YmM2MjA3MmM3OWFjN2JlOTkwNDIwZTMzMzVkMGM5NTImYnhpZD02OTI3ODMwZDUyZjk3MTM3MjMwNmMxOGU/6927830d52f971372306c18eE7568821a" target="_blank" style="color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;"><!--[if mso]> <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="https://link.theverge.com/click/43780728.7440/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL2VudGVydGFpbm1lbnQvODY4NzExL3NwcnktZm94LW5ldGZsaXgtZ2FtZS1zdHVkaW8taW5kaWUtc3Bpcml0LWNyb3NzaW5nP3VlaWQ9YmM2MjA3MmM3OWFjN2JlOTkwNDIwZTMzMzVkMGM5NTImYnhpZD02OTI3ODMwZDUyZjk3MTM3MjMwNmMxOGU/6927830d52f971372306c18eF7568821a" style="height:40px;width:118px;v-text-anchor:middle;" arcsize="10%" fillcolor="#5200ff"> <v:stroke dashstyle="Solid" weight="0px" color="#5200ff"/> <w:anchorlock/> <v:textbox inset="0px,0px,0px,0px"> <center dir="false" style="color:#ffffff;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:15px"> <![endif]--> <span class="button" style="background-color: #5200ff;

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.

Absolutely ignore those links!
