Bronzelight Studios

Bronzelight Studios was a North American game publisher, founded by former Playfair crew member Gregory Bouchard and established in 2000 as an offshoot of the company. While Playfair officially renamed itself to Bronzelight that year, the name was still kept as a sublabel for more kid-oriented/licensed fare until it was retired in spring 2002, leading to Bronzelight identifying itself only as such from there on out.

After its first release in late 2000, the multi-platform game SolarStones, releases were sporadic during the years of 2001 up to 2005 when (following Magic World's sale of the publisher entirely to Bouchard and his cohorts that year) it began publishing full-time until its closure in 2008 amidst finance issues, accusations of poor workplace ethics, bribery and Bouchard's tax evasion arrest etc.

Entertainment] and Data Design Interactive, Bronzelight achieved notoriety for the badness of some titles (though overall a more hit-and-miss track record), all of which were generally offered at budget prices to try and entice families and casual gamers (especially in multipacks).
