Kudos to Bart Decrem who will become senior vice president at Disney, in charge of all mobile games after they bought Tapulous, the iPhone game company he co-founded with Andrew Lacy. The start-up, based in a storefront in Palo Alto, did not take venture capital.

Because we were angel funded, we have been flexible and have been forced to be scrappy. That has paid off nicely in the middle of a recession. And with that comes a capitalization table that is very friendly to investors and the team.

Bart explained to Gamebeat why he sold Tapulous to Disney.

Disney has music brands, Marvel Comics, Pixar, ABC, and ESPN. They have great content and you will see a lot of action around marrying great games, brands, and social gaming mechanics. I use social to mean games that are social.

For Bart, it's all Decremental!
