The company is focused on MMORPGs, which Schilling had previously expressed interest in through Everquest. At the start of spring training in 2007, the company was renamed from Green Monster Games to better give a "... more accurate reflection of what our company is working to achieve".

Schilling as quoted on the Fires of Heaven Guild message boards, posting under his EQ characters name Ngruk, "The GMG name was, and I know this is going to be impossible to believe, not named after the left field wall at Fenway.

President of the company will be Brett Close, formerly of Midway Games and Electronic Arts, and Senior Vice President will be Mary Kirchoff, formerly of Wizards of the Coast.
