Games publisher Bigpoint has announced that over three hundred million players worldwide have registered for all of the company's games. Bigpoint's titles include Battlestar Galactica Online, Drakensang Online, Farmerama, Pirate Storm and Dark Orbit.

“In recent years, we’ve seen a rapid increase and unprecedented numbers in our titles. We want to celebrate our accomplishments and show our appreciation to our international community,” said Heiko Hubertz, founder of Bigpoint. “The strength and support of our players exemplifies how we’ve evolved in the F2P industry, and motivates us to keep driving innovation in browser games.”

    I have two accounts for BSG and played it for a grand total of 30 minutes, I am really pleased to be padding their stats.

    I really dislike the quoting of accounts registered as a quantifyable number of anything. Most of Bigpoints games are terrible too, the BSG one is the biggest waste of an IP since The Matrix Online.

    Nonsense numbers from a nonsense company.  People have figured out how bad their games are and left in droves.

    So what you two are saying is 300M suckers and counting ? Imagine if you just got one dollar from each person, one dollar! Imagine if you pushed it all it once and bragged about how many people registered, stirred up some curiousity and got one more dollar out of each curious person. And then you ran away.

    I've been reading a lot of huge numbers for odd games lately. 300m is such a big number and I honestly find it hard to believe. I could be wrong, though.

    Wonder if companies will ever realize the only numbers that matter are concurrant players active in thier games, and that most people don't care how many people have registered for thier website or service. Registered users is a meaningless number.

    That's why they had layoffs 1 month ago. This game company should die and I wouldn't pity anybody working for them.

    They only talk about registerd accounts.. for ALL their games.

     

    They say nothing about how many of those are still playing.

    This have been a good conversation

    +1

    As someone else mentioned, I am counted in there because I once created an acct and played BSG for about 15 minutes before uninstalling it for being the utter trash it was.

    Ok so I will reusable in other words..... They make claim to 300M, that means nothing to all of us on a personal level and inside the box. But if it is true, they got the attention, enough attention that people created over 300M user accounts. That's a big deal because as some of you have stated all they put out was trash, and if trash gets that kind of attention, then trash works.

    Thats 300m people who have signed up and tried a game for an hour or so and moved on then?

    I remember when I was doing Prizerebel offers, there was always a sign up for BSG or another Bigpoint game that would come up from time to time.

    This is about as legit as all those months that Atlantica Online had a 9+ user score. Incentive based padding pretty much. Such a shame someone talked George RR Martin into letting them do the Game of Thrones MMO.

    What a mess.

    Yeah same boat, padding their numbers here as well.  Played BSG for about 10 minutes, the ship movement was lame, spinning your ship around like a pinwheel was unrealistic and silly.  Did a couple minor things, said, "meh", then played something else.
