Gaming peripherals company Razer seems to be making a habit of acquiring interesting technology companies. In 2015, Razer purchased Ouya , the short-lived maker of an Android game console. A year later, Razer picked up THX. This year, Razer is buying Nextbit , the manufacturer of the Robin smartphone.
Razer has acquired the majority of Nextbit’s assets and plans to retain all of Nextbit’s staff, including its management team and Scott Croyle, a former design lead at HTC. The folks from Nextbit will operately separately from Razer and under their own management.
