Flagship Studios was an American video game developer founded by Bill Roper along with Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and David Brevik, former Blizzard North executives. The latter three had been collaborating since their 1993 founding of Condor Studios, later renamed upon acquisition by Blizzard Entertainment. At Blizzard North, the Schaefers and Brevik created the Diablo franchise, while Roper oversaw development of the Warcraft and StarCraft series.
Flagship Studios had a partnership with Namco Hometek and HanbitSoft to cover an international market for game marketing and distribution. The company dissolved in August 2008 because of financial troubles.
