Just a thought here. For years, Adobe has used the phrase “Powered by Adobe” – although certainly Adobe hardly owns the phrase (and I’m quite sure that Adobe didn’t even coin the phrase) – but I was trying to think of a cute way to mix Adobe and PlayJam messaging – such as “Powered by Adobe, made tasty by PlayJam” – okay, that one’s not so hot – but the idea being that even though Adobe may provide much of the foundational technologies and workflows that would allow a developer to create a multi-platform game, PlayJam provides the missing ingredients that allow the developer to enjoy a measurable return on their investment and to be able to manage their content’s distribution.
