Gameforge goes USA
(16.02.2008, 15:31:03) A Success Story "Made in Germany": Karlsruhe game developer Gameforge to enter the American online games market. More than 40 mio. registered players in 30 countries already make Gameforge the largest independent supplier of online games.
The company initiates the international competition for Northern
American online gamers with the launch of a San Francisco branch.
Gameforge CEO Klaas Kersting explains: "Already, we are clearly larger
than any of our American competitors. Since day one, our company has
been growing by more than 350 % a year. By providing servers within the
US we can offer even better technical performance to our Northern
American players in the future. And there will also be a separate
US-English version on offer for all of our Gameforge games."
Lars
Koschin will manage the branch office. The co-founder of Gamigo was
most recently working as CTO for Curse Inc. in the US. "Gameforge has
been holding the number one position in the browser games and MMOGs
sector in Europe for several years now. I consider the decision to
systematically extend the successful expansion strategy to other
continents to be a strategically important step. I look forward to
being able to contribute my longstanding experience to Gameforge and to
jointly conquer the American market of online games," Koschin declares.
