## History

Nadeo was founded in 2000 in Paris, France, by Florent Castelnérac and Pascal Hérold.[4] Their first game was Virtual Skipper 2, released in 2002. In 2003, Nadeo released the first entry in the TrackMania series, which received "mixed or average reviews" from critics.[5] TrackMania reached over 700,000 unique players each month, and had 10 million registered players by 2009.[6] In 2009, Nadeo was acquired by Ubisoft for an undisclosed sum.

In September 2020, CEO Florent Castelnérac was accused of abusive behavior and bullying towards his staff.[7][8][9]
