Little Tiny Frogs with Brad Wardell

Is Stardock the oldest remaining private game studio?

Published on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 By Brad Wardell In PC Gaming

A quick question:

Are there any privately held game studios older than Stardock still in business?

Stardock’s first game was released in 1994 (Galactic Civilizations) and was incorporated in 1993.

I don’t mean hobbyists but actual studio with full time employees.

Anyone know?
