At the GamesBeat Summit event in April of this year, Rahimi spoke about acquiring games the right way.

I have been a fan of the creative culture and willingness to take risks of the company. I am excited to join the company to help create an environment that can attract great game makers, empower them to push the medium forward, and bring their games to a massive, global audience.

The five games that were introduced by the company are: Card Blast, which was developed by Amuzo and Rogue Games, and both of the games developed by BonusXP.
