History
Aeria Games acquired ijji on January 5, 2012.[3]
The company also merged with Gamepot in late 2012.[4]
In February 2014, all its worldwide PC games business including its subsidiary Aeria Games Europe GmbH were sold to ProSiebenSat.1 Media.[5]
Its games are free-to-play and use a micropayment system to generate revenue (in-game item malls and advertising).
Aeria Games has many highly priced store products. For example, their anime-themed MMORPG Grand Fantasia had a 300% EXP boost for approximately $87.00 of Aeria Points(the site's currency).
