GamerSafer, a safety tech company, has recently acquired the Minehut server from SuperLeague, marking its expansion into the Minecraft-focused server community. Minehut, which has been around since 2015 and has millions of players, is a popular Minecraft server community with approximately 500,000 monthly active users.
Rodrigo Tamellini, the CEO of GamerSafer, described Minehut as a unique asset that functions as a hub connecting Minecraft servers hosted in various places. The acquisition of Minehut aligns with GamerSafer’s focus on providing safe tech solutions for gaming, particularly within the Minecraft ecosystem. With strong ties to Microsoft and close relationships with server hosting companies within Minecraft, GamerSafer is well-positioned to ensure the safety and trust of the Minecraft community.
The Minehut community will remain intact following the acquisition, with no changes to the servers, hosting, gameplay, or website. GamerSafer plans to share more information about its future plans for Minehut in due course. With 35 employees now on board, including the Minehut staff, GamerSafer is poised to leverage the synergies of Minehut with its other ventures.
GamerSafer’s acquisition of Minehut highlights its commitment to creating great online gaming experiences that combine user-generated content with player safety. The partnership between Minehut and SuperLeague brings even more value to the Minecraft community and brands associated with it. GamerSafer’s dedication to the Minecraft ecosystem is exemplified by its official Minecraft server list, developed in collaboration with Mojang Studios.
Rodrigo Tamellini, a former senior director at Intel in its gaming business unit, co-founded GamerSafer with Maria Tamellini in 2018 as part of an incubation program at the University of California at Berkeley. The company has since become a trusted name in providing safety solutions for players in games and esports, protecting over 15 million players in 87 countries.
The acquisition of Minehut marks an exciting chapter for GamerSafer as it expands its reach and influence within the gaming industry. With its focus on safety and commitment to the Minecraft community, GamerSafer is well-positioned to further its mission of creating safe and enjoyable gaming experiences for players worldwide.
