Since its inception in 2002, DemonWare’s online multiplayer technology has been used in titles such as THQ’s Saints Row, Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Vegas and Activison’s own Call of Duty 3.

The company’s two main products are the DemonWare State Engine and Matchmaking+, software packages that deal in online games coding and user statistics tracking.
