GET THE BOOK: How to Publish a Game

Bigpoint’s revenue growth

By on June 20, 2011

I’ve just been going back through some old blog posts for GAMESbrief Unplugged: Volume 2.

What struck me was the impressive revenue progression of Bigpoint, the browser-based games company that makes free-to-play games mainly aimed at core gamers.

Here are the numbers:

  • 2007: €10 million
  • 2008: €28 million
  • 2009: €60 million
  • 2010: €200 million

That’s pretty impressive stuff. Revenues have pretty well tripled every year since 2007. If they do it again, they’ll make half a billion euros in 2011.

That would be an enormous achievement.
