=== 2000-July 2007: Original hit games era === PopCap Games was founded by John Vechey, Brian Fiete and Jason Kapalka in 2000. They wanted to create games, firstly by learning from other Internet gaming sites. Their first game was [[Bejeweled]], a huge-hit gem-swapping game, which was supported on all major platforms and awarded by Computer Gaming World Hall Of Fame in 2002. <!-- PopCap also was a partnership with other gaming sites when their games were popular in 2002.<br /> --> The company expanded in 2005 with the acquisition of Sprout Games, a [[Seattle]]-based casual games developer company like PopCap Games, founded by James Gwertzman. Sprout Games is the creator of the game [[Feeding Frenzy (video game)|Feeding Frenzy]]. The Sprout team subsequently moved to Seattle and helped PopCap to make a sequel to the hit game, [[Feeding Frenzy 2]], with Gwertzman becoming the Director of Business Development at Popcap. On August 22, 2006, it was announced on [[Valve Corporation|Valve Software]]'s Web site that PopCap Games had entered into an agreement with Valve Software to deliver PopCap's games via Valve's [[Steam (content delivery)|Steam]] content delivery system. Beginning on August 30, 2006, 17 of PopCap's products became available via Steam. In keeping with PopCap tradition, each PopCap game offered via Steam is available for a free trial period as well as for purchase.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=news&archive=yes&id=734&cc=--|title=PopCap Games Now Available Via Steam|date=2006-08-30}}</ref>
