Bigpoint has worked very hard to establish a massive publishing network of over 1000 game portals, social networks and media sites that draw gamers from all over the world. Popular for free-to-play browser-based titles such as Battlestar Galactica Online, Drakensang Online, Dark Orbit and Farmerama, chances are if you have played a game in your browser then you have played a Bigpoint game. All this hard work seems to have paid off as Bigpoint is now announcing they have exceeded 250 million registered players.
“Since 2002, we’ve strived to bring high-quality games and experiences to the widest possible audience,” said Heiko Hubertz, CEO and Founder, Bigpoint. “With players hailing from every corner of the globe, today’s milestone underscores our success – and we’re not done. We’ll continue to challenge the notion of what online games are and can be.”
Starting out with just simple flash games, Bigpoint introduced the free-to-play business model to the western society with IceFighter in 2002. Since then, the publisher has amassed over 60 games that have continued to push the boundaries of browser games. Bigpoint have always shown a keen interest for moving their games forward, this has been proven with their quick adoption of the Unity platform, a sound choice for any browser-based game developer these days. Bigpoint has bigger and better plans lined up for 2012, word has it there are even a few Hollywood IP's on their way.
