Benchmarking AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Packet and Vultr The launch of Exocraft.io and the subsequent flood of traffic revealed the flaw of our reliance on Amazon Web Services -- bandwidth cost.

CasinoRPG on Steam Greenlight One of our goals at GoldFire Studios has always been to make our games available everywhere that our players might want them to be, whether on our primary platform of the web or one of the many app stores. We’ve been making a conscious effort to ramp up those efforts in 2017, starting with the launch of GoldFire 2.0 in February, which includes full mobile and cross-platform support.
