Gameforge Surpasses 300 Million Registered Users

If you're one of those gamers who thinks free-to-play browser games are just a blip on the radar, Gameforge has 300 million reasons for why you may want to reconsider. Today the company announced its user base has grown to roughly the size of the US population.

Today Gameforge sent out a press release stating that its user base has grown by 100 million in the past year alone, and that it expects those numbers to continue rising thanks to the upcoming browser game Star Trek -- Infinite Space, which is set to release this year. The German-based company currently runs 20 games, from client-based MMORPGs to more casual browser-based titles.

I'll be honest, I've never even heard of Gameforge before, but with 300 million players, they must be getting something right.
