Have you heard of the company “CommSeed,” headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo? As an IT company that mainly develops smartphone and social games, it has a solid presence in today's gaming industry. This time, let's dive deeper into CommSeed, exploring its unique history and appeal.
CommSeed's roots date back to December 1991, when it was founded as “MicroWorld Inc.” Initially, it was established to primarily distribute overseas games in Japan, serving as a pioneer that brought fresh air into the Japanese gaming market.
As time progressed, CommSeed adapted flexibly to changes in the gaming industry and expanded into various fields. In September 2000, the company changed its name to “Pachinko Club Dot Com Inc.” and began actively engaging not only in the gaming industry but also in the pachinko industry.
In 2001, the company inherited the mobile content distribution service business from Nihon Telenet and launched a mobile service called “Pachinko Club.” By this point, CommSeed had established itself as a company that leveraged mobile technology for content distribution, moving beyond the bounds of traditional entertainment.
In August 2002, the company changed its name to “CommSeed Inc.” and evolved into its current form. With the widespread use of smartphones, CommSeed fully entered the mobile gaming market, focusing on the development and operation of smartphone and social games.
True to its corporate slogan, “Sowing the Seeds of Fun,” CommSeed aims to deliver both fun and value to its users. This is not just about entertainment but also serves as a driving force behind the company's sustainable growth.
CommSeed operates based on three key pillars: “social games,” “smartphone apps,” and “B to B (business-to-business) services.” This diverse business model is a crucial element supporting their flexibility and growth.
In particular, their B to B division offers solutions and services for businesses, contributing to business growth through the use of mobile technology.
CommSeed's appeal lies not only in their wide-ranging business development beyond just game creation. They also strive to be a “value-creating company” and a “trusted company.”
This is clearly reflected in their commitment to fostering trust with users and pursuing sustainable growth. Their focus on not just fun, but also technical innovation and reliability, is one of the reasons they continue to be loved for so long.
As the mobile and social gaming markets continue to grow, we can expect further evolution from CommSeed. Given their flexibility and willingness to take on new challenges, we can't wait to see what new “seeds of fun” they will sow in the future.
Let’s look forward to their continued success as a company pioneering the next generation of entertainment!
