SPRUE is both the name of
the company, and also a metaphor for the company's
role. The company is not important, what is important
is the products of services that the company can provide
to the customer. Just as the sprue holds the pieces
in a plastic model kit but is not part of the finished
product, Sprue and SprueGames provide support for
the development and sales of products like Salvo
& OUROBOROS.
