In the context of video games, [[Middle Ware]] is software that a game developer can add on to their game for certain features. Middleware developers help other developers by not having them "re-invent the wheel". Middleware can either come from a third party company, or developed in-house. Contrast to a complete [[Game Engine|game engine]], which may comprise of almost everything in the game, or just the core components.
