At this year’s GC we’re going to be giving a look at the newest eeis developments.”

eeis supplies the“back office” of computer and video games, including such features as the massively multiplayer network engine tinCat, game browsers, lobby systems, professional billing and account management systems, including micropayment support and in-game auction platforms, too.
