Gamefam was founded in 2019 in Los Angeles, California, United States by Joe Ferencz, the current CEO. Ferencz was originally involved with bringing Hot Wheels into the Forza series and Rocket League, and while doing so, he was observing Roblox's success as a free-to-play video game platform. Explaining his reason for founding Gamefam, Ferencz told TechCrunch “Roblox truly is the Metaverse for this younger generation. What that means is that each game needs to have a very distinctive and attractive immersion to it, in a way that mobile free-to-play doesn’t." The company is described by Ferencz as the “first and only fully-dedicated, professional game publishing company on Roblox.”
