New York, NY and Boston, MA, Sept. 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PrePlay, Inc. , the leading developer of "second screen" predictive mobile games, and Farpoint Ventures LLC , a leading provider of venture finance and international sales and marketing outsourcing services, announced today that they have entered into a three-year agreement to develop the Japan market.
