Scoreloop CEO Gumpinger confirms cross-platform future post RIM buyout

Following up RIM's statement released to us earlier today, Scoreloop has confirmed that it will continue to support its operations on platforms other than BlackBerry moving forward.

Some had feared the Scoreloop's acquisition by RIM would lead to the firm abandoning its games networks across the likes of iOS and Android, but CEO Mark Gumpinger said his company will 'continue its cross-platform approach'.

In the loop

"Over the past few months we've had the opportunity to become intimately acquainted with the RIM team and their strategy for the BlackBerry platform," said Gumpinger on the firm's website, aptly delivered via a BlackBerry PlayBook.

"As part of RIM, we'll be in a unique position to integrate deeply into BlackBerry platforms to take mobile gaming to the next level together.

"We'll continue our cross platform approach, but you'll see that our BlackBerry solution will be unparalleled."

Gumpinger's statement follows a similar one delivered via RIM, with the company claiming Scoreloop's network across multiple smartphone platforms will continue to be supported.
