Playa Games reports strongest quarter

Hamburg (ots) - The German browser game publisher Playa Games
reported the most successful quarter since the company's inception.
During the first three months of 2011 the young corporation recorded
over 3 million Euros revenue over quarter for the first time. "If we
continue to grow at this pace, we will achieve the total 2010 revenue
before the end of the 2nd quarter", commented Hannes Beuck, CEO of
Playa Games GmbH.

Beuck credits the success of the corporation primarily to the
team's expertise. With the appointment of Tobias Edl as Director
Business Development another industry veteran has joined the company.
Edl has almost seven years of experience as Senior Business
Development Manager at online skill-based games company King.com. At
Playa Games he is responsible for key account management along with
his business development responsibilities. Edl reports directly to
Marketing Director Bernd Heinisch, who previously held senior
marketing positions at eBay Germany, Gamesload and Travian Games. "We
are pleased that we have been able to enlist another expert for Playa
Games with the addition of Tobias Edl", says Heinisch. "Tobias Edl is
working closely with Heinrich Lenhardt, who is responsible for
North-American business development. We are confident this
collaboration will create great synergies."

Software-Initiative Deutschland (SID - German Software
Association) awarded Playa Games for being the fastest growing
developer of browser games and recognized the quality of its titles.
Because of the company's roots in retail PC games development, its
product quality has a significant quality advantage over other
browser games developers. Playa Games has been able to leverage that
know-how to set trends in the online games market. Accolades awarded
to Playa Games, such as the "GameStar Award 2010" in the "Best
Browser Game" category - beating competitors such as Ubisoft,
Electronic Arts and Bigpoint - confirm the unique quality of the
games. "With our latest title "BloodGame", we have created the
highest-quality browser game on the market. And we are on track to
extend our lead even further in the future", Beuck confidently
stated.

Playa Games ( www.playa-games.com ) has been recognized for being
the fastest growing developer of successful browser games in 2010 by
Software-Initiative Deutschland (SID). The role-playing game "Shakes
& Fidget" and the soccer game "SoccerStar" are regarded as milestones
in the browser games sector. According to the awarding body SID,
Playa Games is characterized by the outstanding quality of its
browser games thanks to its background in retail PC games
development: "This know-how gives the company a significant advantage
over other browser games developers" - (quote from the speech given
by Software-Initiative Deutschland while awarding the Growth Award
2010).
