NEW HOPE, PA--(Marketwire - Jun 29, 2012) - MeetMe (NYSE MKT: [ MEET ]) (NYSE Amex: [ MEET ]), the public market leader for social discovery, today announced the closing of its social gaming studio, Quepasa Games, located in Curitiba, Brazil. Quepasa Games is the publisher of "Wonderful City - Rio," and in collaboration with WWF-Brazil, "Amazon Alive."

"While we have been very happy with the quality and engagement that Quepasa Games' titles have brought to audiences on Facebook, Orkut, Quepasa, and other social sites, we are closing this division in order to aggressively accelerate our core mission: to build the leading social network for meeting new people," said MeetMe, Inc.'s CEO, John Abbott. "Given our recent successful rebranding efforts for the company and the myYearbook platform, and later this fall, the transition of Quepasa's members to MeetMe, we believe our best course of action is to close this division in order to focus on growing the core MeetMe platform globally and to accelerate our path toward profitability."

As previously stated, in September, Quepasa members will be migrated to MeetMe, and the company will begin the process of internationalization -- six languages by the end of the year, including Spanish and Portuguese, positioning the company for global growth.

"As we rollout internationally, we are excited to introduce our fast growing mobile applications to our international audience, as 60% of our domestic audience now access the site via mobile, up from only 2% in 2010," added Abbott.

Both Wonderful City - Rio and Amazon Alive will continue to be available on Facebook, supported by its marketing and distribution partners.
