The Eurogamer Network has purchased Hammersuit, the owner of IndustryGamers.com and mobile gaming site Modojo.com. This is particularly interesting for two reasons; first it extends the European-centric company's reach into the United States. Secondly, it brings its sister publication GameIndustry.biz and IndustryGamers under the same banner. IndustryGamers was founded in in May 2009 by Hammersuit and journalist James Brightman.

"We have been looking for the right opportunity to expand our business across the Atlantic and we are delighted to complete the acquisition of Hammersuit," said Rupert Loman, MD of the Eurogamer Network. "They are a great fit for us and the potential as we expand our business to North America is huge. We already have a significant US readership that values our distinctive editorial voice so adding a local team will greatly strengthen our offering for readers and advertisers in both Europe and North America."
