The company was officially formed on 11 September 2010, founded by CD Projekt and Metropolis Software developers and staff members.[2][3][4] Currently, they employ approximately one hundred people. The company's goal is to create games suitable for both hardcore gamers as well as casual gamers,[2] and to make games easily available through digital distribution.[5] 11 bit studios implement and deliver games to all main gaming platforms, including consoles, computers, and handhelds.[5][6] They are best known for their morally challenging games, that often force its players to think of the choices they have made in an ethical manner, a rare element in modern video games. They are also well known for their award-winning game, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, a real-time strategy reversed tower defense.[7] Their other game, This War of Mine, was well received by players and critics due to its depiction of civilians in a city under a siege similar to the Siege of Sarajevo.[8]
