With the announcement of this partners fund, Gree also outlined their acceptance criteria (see last paragraph - FRZT satisfies every one)

1. have previously released a mobile game - CHECK
2. know how to manage post-launch content and delivery - CHECK
3. understand how to achieve free-to-play monetization - CHECK (this is where our Flurry partnership fits in)
4. located in North or South America - CHECK

Alright, so Gree is a huge international mobile game giant and industry leader who wants to invest some of its cash hoard on forming partnerships with North American independent game app developers (like FRZT), and FRZT just so happens to meet Gree's minimum acceptance criteria. So what, there are probably thousands of independent app developers who meet the minimum standards (most of them are private companies by the way - not FRZT though). But consider, Gree and Freeze Tag are already in bed together (FRZT / Gree partnership announcement: http://www.develop-online.net/news/42198/Gree-snaps-up-four-more-indies) and Gree will even be promoting FRZT's next original title, Party Animals to be released in the 1st qtr. FRZT is even listed as a featured publisher on Gree's website (https://docs.developer.gree.net/en/globaltechnicalspecs/partners)!



Could there be something more into the decision to hold Party Animals a few months? Perhaps Gree wanted FRZT to release their title with Activision first and before announcing the release of Party Animals along with something much, much bigger?
