Bigpoint simultaneously receives four nominations for the Online
(24.09.2008, 20:53:30) Bigpoint GmbH, Europe?s leading provider and developer of browser-based online games (browser games), has been simultaneously nominated with four websites for the OnlineStar, the so-called Web Oscar of the Internet industry.
The Hamburg-based company will be represented not only by their community portal Bigpoint.de but also by three other browser games: Seafight.de, DarkOrbit.de and Spaceinvasion.de. On the one hand, this award is considered to be the event of the year in this industry, but at the same time it sets the standard for quality testing in the Internet.
Bigpoint already won one of these important Internet-industry awards last year. Bigpoint.de received the “OnlineStar” for the most popular website of the year and outdid such industry giants as Google, You Tube and Amazon. In total, over 2 million users voted last year and chose the winners in the different categories.
Heiko Hubertz, Managing Director of Bigpoint, is thrilled about the four nominations. “What’s special about the OnlineStar is that it’s not determined by a panel of experts but that the users themselves nominate and choose their favorites. The nomination alone is a great trend indicator for us. It proves that our online community is strongly and closely connected to our games. In addition, we can also see which design, what content, which functions and services are best received by our users. We are very proud that we were nominated in four categories this year and are dying to see how the vote turns out.”
