## History

Armor Games was founded by Daniel McNeely in 2004, but was originally branded as Games Of Gondor at the time. In October 2005, it was later rebranded to today's current name as Armor Games.

On March 3, 2019, Armor Games revealed that they had a data breach in 2019 and that the database was sold on the Dream Market.[6][7]

In December 2020, nearing end-of-life of Adobe Flash, the site announced that it will be using the Ruffle emulator for its Flash content, although many Flash games remain inaccessible.

In August, 2024, Armor Games laid off an unknown number of staff from its publishing team, Armor Games Studio. [8]
