该传言来自本周的GDC大会,因为该公司首席执行官Julian Farrior原本打算出席其中的智能手机峰会,并发表一个关于移动广告重要性的演讲。但据游戏邦了解,虽然Farrior确实出席了本届大会,却并没有上台演讲,据称是因为他透露了太多Blackflip目前的用户数据。

当然,Backflip是最出色的游戏开发商之一,曾因多款免费、广告赞助版本的智能手机游戏而收获大量用户。游戏邦获悉,该公司最近传出的游戏下载量是8000万次,月活跃用户约2500万,在pocketgamer评选的2011年手机游戏公司前50强榜单中排名第九。

现在人们关心的是,这个传言究竟是否为真,果真如此,该公司现在的身价究竟是多少?(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

GDC 2011: Rumour: Backflip Studios being bought?

Very much being filed under speculation, but sensible speculation, it seems like US mobile studio Backflip Studios is being acquired, or in talks to be acquired.

The gossip has started because its CEO Julian Farrior was supposed to be giving one of his excellent talks at the GDC Smartphone Summit entitled The growing importance of mobile advertising in gaming.

However, it’s been cancelled, with rumours suggesting that despite Farrior attending GDC, he’s pulled out, citing confidence issues about giving out too much of Backflip’s current audience numbers.

High worth company

Of course, Backflip is one of the best success stories when it comes to building up a massive community based on free, ad-funded smartphone games.

Last time we heard, it had clocked up 80 million downloads and around 25 million monthly active users. It also ranked #9 in our top 50 developers of 2011 list.

Certainly, it will be fascinating to see whether the rumours and true, and more importantly, if so, how much the price will be. (source:pocketgamer)
