This may come as a surprise but local online game companies Level Up! and E-Games has finalized talks of a merger. eGames made the disclosure earlier this morning at the PSE (since it’s a publicly listed company).
Both Level Up and eGames are two of the biggest players in the local online game industry are fierce competitors since the beginning.
A copy of the press release is shown below:
The consolidation might be the result of a thinning market. We earlier wrote about this issue before in “Is the local Online Gaming industry in trouble?“.
YugaTech.com is the largest and longest-running technology site in the Philippines. Originally established in October 2002, the site was transformed into a full-fledged technology platform in 2005.

PLDT’s Netgames division got merged into LUG too a few years back. It does seem like the local MMO gaming scene has peaked as most people would rather play casual games on Facebook or some iPhone/iPod games instead of those dungeon and level grinding timesinks.
The merged company will probably be called as simply Level Up!, but imagine if it kept all the previous names… Level Up E-Netgames! :)

Ma-mamatay na kasi ang online games sa pinas pag di sila kikilos ng kung ano anong raket. :)

iLuvPSNandXBLA says:
They’re doing that because of their crappy online games that don’t sell well. If they want to revitalize online gaming in the Philippines, they should stop picking up games from those cheap and low quality Korean and Chinese game developers. They better start to pick up those game franchises that have respectable reputation to the game industry.
Digest says:
Plenty of triple A mmos transitioned to F2P or freemium, so why bother look for online games that comes from the two companies where Pay to win is the basis of winning.
