Client: tiplay studio — fastest-growing game development ecosystem incorporated in Türkiye, having released seven popular titles downloaded more than 50 million times. Snap Game Partner since 2021. YellowLA (Snapchat’s accelerator) portfolio company.
Vircon Legal Role: Lead legal counsel from the founding stage. Established the company structure and the legal architecture of the oFON program, handled investment rounds (including the Re-Pie round), and provided ongoing compliance support across game-development operations.
Background
tiplay studio launched oFON in early 2020 — the world’s first global game studio accelerator program, which grew to become the largest hypercasual accelerator program, having recruited 12 teams. The studio became a Snap Game Partner and launched its first Snap game at the end of 2021. Following the Re-Pie round (one of Türkiye’s leading venture firms), tiplay studio was admitted into YellowLA, Snapchat’s accelerator program.
Challenge
As the fastest-growing game development company in Türkiye, tiplay studio needed continuous legal support across two parallel tracks — managing investment rounds and keeping game-development operations on solid local and global compliance footing. The pace of growth made it essential to have legal architecture that could scale ahead of the product, rather than catch up to it.
Solution
Vircon Legal has served as tiplay studio’s legal counsel from the founding stage. As technology-native lawyers, we supported the establishment of the company structure and the oFON program, while ensuring legal compliance of new game launches across all relevant dimensions.
Impact
tiplay studio operated through multiple investment rounds and program admissions (including YellowLA) with continuous legal support — allowing the team to maintain product velocity while operating on a sound compliance base across Turkish and global markets.
