HistoryThe company was founded by RedOctane founder Charles Huang, Palm, Inc.'s Matt Crowley, and Karl Townsend, the original Palm Pilot's lead engineer.[1] They started the company with $6 million in venture capital with the intention to "develop internal games, support external development, and advance software services".[1] Their first project is software that lets players connect the company's controller to their Android device, which can connect to a television.[3] VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi called their late entry to the market a weakness.[4] The company launched an affiliate program for Android game developers who helped sell their controllers. Green Throttle Games was purchased by Google in 2014.[1] ProductsThe company's first device was the Atlas controller, styled similarly to the Xbox 360 controller. The controller will be compatible with the GameStick.[8] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Etherington|first1=Darrell|title=Google's Acquisition of Green Throttle Games Could Signal Better Native Android Gaming|url=https://techcrunch.com/2014/03/12/googles-acquisition-of-green-throttle-games-could-signal-better-native-android-gaming/|accessdate=23 February 2017|publisher=TechCrunch|date=12 March 2014}} [2][3][4][5]2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/10/3859074/gamestick-green-throttle-gaming |title=GameStick will support Green Throttle Gaming controller, adding 'full analog' option for Kickstarter project |last1=Grant |first1=Christopher |date=January 10, 2013 |work=Polygon |publisher=Vox Media |accessdate=June 8, 2013 }} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.polygon.com/2012/11/6/3609562/guitar-hero-co-creator-developing-virtual-gaming-console-for |title=Guitar Hero co-creator developing virtual gaming console for smartphones and TVs |last1=McElroy |first1=Griffin |date=November 6, 2012 |work=Polygon |publisher=Vox Media |accessdate=June 8, 2013 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6HDO7CVoo?url=http://www.polygon.com/2012/11/6/3609562/guitar-hero-co-creator-developing-virtual-gaming-console-for |archivedate=June 8, 2013 |deadurl=no |df= }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/4/3728270/guitar-hero-co-creator-team-venture-capital-mobile-to-tv-controller-app |title=Guitar Hero co-creator's team brings in $6 million of venture capital for mobile-to-TV controller and app |last1=Sarkar |first1=Samit |date=December 4, 2012 |work=Polygon |publisher=Vox Media |accessdate=June 8, 2013 }} 5. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://venturebeat.com/2012/11/06/guitar-hero-co-creator-unveils-startup-with-a-plan-to-mobilize-the-living-room-exclusive-interview/ |title=Guitar Hero co-creator unveils startup with a plan to mobilize the living room (exclusive interview) |last1=Takahashi |first1=Dean |date=November 6, 2012 |work=VentureBeat |accessdate=June 8, 2013 }} }}{{videogame-company-stub}} 5 : Video game companies of the United States|Video game accessories|Video game controllers|American companies established in 2012|Google acquisitions |
