Christian Game Companies Merge; God Pleased

The two leading Christian video game companies are merging to create one overwhelmingly holy gaming entity. Left Behind Games, creator of Left Behind: Tribulation Forces and Digital Praise, creator of Guitar Praise and Dance Praise, are joining forces.

"Digital Praise has the four key ingredients that will take our company to the next level," said Left Behind Games CEO Troy Lyndon in a statement. "Those keys are: (1) strong brands and products, (2) multi-channeled distribution, (3) a solid management team and (4) a history of generating millions of dollars in the emerging Christian video game market, a feat no company has matched."

"This merger gives us access to capital that we anticipate will enable us to produce far more new innovative games than we could hope to develop as a privately held company," said Tom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise.

Surely, God is pleased and will not visit terrible retribution on the gaming community now.

For now, both companies have only published games for the PC, although we sincerely hope the new entity will make the move to consoles.
