Standing Stone Games operates as an independent development studio that emerged from a spin-off of Turbine, taking over the ongoing operation and expansion of legacy massively multiplayer online role-playing games like The Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online. While Daybreak Game Company acts as the corporate publisher and parent entity managing administrative and distribution infrastructure for these titles, Daybreak itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enad Global 7 (EG7), a major Swedish gaming holding corporation. Through this corporate hierarchy, the ultimate parent oversight flows down from EG7 through Daybreak to the development teams at Standing Stone Games, allowing the studio to retain creative autonomy over its long-running virtual worlds.
