Publisher Bigpoint behind such free-to-play MMOs as Battlestar Galactica and Drakensang Online has managed to accumulate over 250 million registered users around the globe.
It’s based purely on the number who’ve signed up to play one of Bigpoint’s 60 free-to-play titles. It’s a self appointed champion of the ‘free model’, bemoaning who don’t ‘get it’.
Whilst the registered user tally is an impressive number by itself, it doesn’t reveal how many actually stay on to keep playing the games, or if they actually spend anything.
