On February 2011, We Go Interactive Co.,Ltd, located in Seoul, Korea, purchased the Re-Volt franchise from Throwback Entertainment.[2]
On June 2012, Throwback Entertainment launched Double Clutch, an automotive lifestyle site.[3]
On February 2013, Throwback Entertainment launched Sportsgoer, an app for the iPhone that combines schedule data for professional sports.[4]
