You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''EA Mobile Inc.''' is an American [[video game developer|video game development]] studio of the [[video game publisher|publisher]] [[Electronic Arts]] (EA) for mobile platforms.

The studio's primary business is producing games for [[mobile phone]]s. It has also produced other entertainment-related software such as [[ringtone]] applications, as well as games for other platforms such as [[personal digital assistant|PDAs]] and [[personal computer]]s. EA Mobile produces games in a wide variety of [[genre]]s, such as [[fight]]ing games, [[puzzle]] games, and [[sports]] titles. Their most well-known products to date include ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[Need For Speed (series)|Need for Speed]]'', and ''[[FIFA (video game series)|FIFA]]'' as well as a mobile conversion of the widely known puzzle game ''[[Bejeweled]]'', a conversion for [[Pocket PC]] of the PC game ''[[Worms World Party]]'' and their [[NFL]], [[NBA]], and [[MLB]] -branded games, in addition to holding the license for the mobile versions of ''[[Tetris]]'' and various ''[[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]]'' games. ''[[Tetris (Electronic Arts)|Tetris]]'' by EA Mobile is the [[List of best-selling video games|best-selling]] paid [[mobile game]] of all time, and third best-selling game of all time altogether.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.ea.com/news/tetris-game-surpasses-100-million-mobile-downloads|title=Tetris Game Surpasses 100 Million Paid Mobile Downloads, Was the Best-Selling Mobile Phone Game of All Time|website=[[Electronic Arts]]|date=January 21, 2010|access-date=December 10, 2010|archive-date=March 16, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316160204/http://www.ea.com/news/tetris-game-surpasses-100-million-mobile-downloads|url-status=live))</ref><ref>((Cite web|last=Arts|first=Electronic|title=Tetris|url=https://www.ea.com/games/tetris/tetris|access-date=2022-02-16|website=Electronic Arts Inc.|language=en|archive-date=June 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210610094157/https://www.ea.com/games/tetris/tetris|url-status=live))</ref> They have relationships with all major [[North America]]n wireless service carriers, such as [[Sprint Corporation|Sprint]], [[Verizon]], and [[AT&T Mobility|AT&T]], as well as many minor North American and some major [[Europe]]an and [[Asia]]n carriers. They have offices in [[Los Angeles]], [[Montreal]], [[London]], [[Tokyo]], [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]], [[Honolulu]], [[Bucharest]] and [[São Paulo]].

As a publishing company in the wireless video game industry, EA Mobile's primary service is linking game developers, who generally develop the games from idea to playable [[software]], with [[wireless]] [[telecommunications]] service providers or "carriers", who sell the games to their customers. To this end, they maintain strong relationships with major companies in both groups. In addition, they create, purchase, and maintain proprietary [[software library|software libraries]] to aid developers with whom they have working relationships, a common practice among electronic game publishers. They also do the majority of the work regarding [[quality assurance]] for their games.

==History==
===Foundation===
EA Mobile was founded in 2004 by a group of EA company veterans. The group was formed/led by John Batter (General Manager) and included Linda Chaplin (head of US sales), Lincoln Wallen (CTO), John Burn (head of European sales), Jay Miller (US sales) and Mike McCabe (head of Asian sales). EA Mobile launched the division and products simultaneously in the US, Europe and Asia.

===JAMDAT acquisition===
In 2006, EA Mobile expanded its footprint by acquiring JAMDAT Mobile. JAMDAT was founded by Scott Lahman and Zack Norman, two ex-[[Activision]] executives, and Austin Murray in March 2000. They were joined in November of that year by [[Mitch Lasky]], who had also worked at Activision, who became the [[Chief Executive Officer|CEO]] of JAMDAT. JAMDAT [[initial public offering|went public]] in late 2003 and gained immediate success after the release of several [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|The Lord of the Rings]] tie-in mobile games.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20031229005228/en/JAMDAT-Mobile-Launches-Wireless-Games-Based-New|title=JAMDAT Mobile Launches Wireless Games Based on New Line Cinema's Critically-Acclaimed ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King''|magazine=[[Business Wire]]|date=29 December 2003|access-date=27 May 2020))</ref>

On December 9, 2005, EA announced their purchase of JAMDAT for $680 million. The acquisition closed on February 14, 2006, and the JAMDAT name was retired.

===Further expansion===
On August 8, 2007, it was announced that Barry Cottle will join EA Mobile as the new Senior Vice President and General Manager.

In October 2010, EA Mobile announced the acquisition of UK-based iPhone and iPad games publisher Chillingo for US$20 million in cash. While Chillingo publishes the popular ''[[Cut the Rope]]'' game, the deal did not include those properties.

In July 2015, Samantha Ryan became the new SVP and General Manager of EA Mobile replacing Frank Gibeau. And the following year in a restructuring across parent company EA, she also added oversight of [[Maxis]] and [[BioWare]].

As of 2017, EA Mobile have an annual revenue topping almost $700 million and employees around 800 people.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/248695/Samantha_Ryan_takes_the_reins_at_EAs_mobile_division.php|title=Samantha Ryan takes the reins at EA's mobile division|first=Christian|last=Nutt|website=www.gamasutra.com|access-date=April 25, 2019|archive-date=October 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171003030245/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/248695/Samantha_Ryan_takes_the_reins_at_EAs_mobile_division.php|url-status=live))</ref>
