Bigpoint was founded in 2002 with the goal to provide great games that everybody can play. Over the following decade and beyond, we have continued to challenge what is possible in the online gaming sector – both from a technical and creative point of view. With releases such as Seafight, DarkOrbit Reloaded and Farmerama as well as the more recent launches of Drakensang, Hocus Puzzle and League of Angels II we have been consistently aiming to go beyond established benchmarks and introduce innovative gameplay to all categories of players. This has resulted in passionate communities who we see not only as consumers, but as invaluable and trusted partners who we involve in the shaping of the future of our titles as well as the company itself. All of our games are&nbsp;free-to play,&nbsp;everybody can access our titles without having to spend any money. Our game designers have the challenge of building monetization systems which&nbsp;are fair for all of our&nbsp;players. We strive&nbsp;for all of our players to have access to the majority of the&nbsp;content available in our games for free.&nbsp;
