By Playa Games Gmbh, PRNETuesday, April 26, 2011
HAMBURG, Germany, April 27, 2011 - 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

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
