Wolfire Games is an American independent video game development company founded by David Rosen. Wolfire Games develops video games for macOS, Windows, and Linux.[1]

History

David Rosen founded Wolfire Games in 2003 to organize his open source video game contest entries.[2] After graduating from Swarthmore College in 2008, he was joined by his twin brother, Jeff, and two friends. In 2010, Wolfire ran the first Humble Bundle, later spun off as a separate company.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

The company was awarded 5th Best Indie Game for their game Overgrowth by ModDB during the 7th Annual Mod of the Year Awards in 2009.[3]

The company operates a YouTube channel on which it releases game footage and highlights new features.[4]

The company name was inspired by "Wolfenstein", a stray dog the Rosen brothers adopted in 1996 and named for the video game series.[5]

In 2021, Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve Corporation alleging that Valve's video game storefront, Steam, uses its large market share to stifle competition and inflate the prices of games.[6]
