BZFlag goes Platinum

Posted by Zonk on from the you-don't-see-nearly-enough-tank-games-anymore dept.

morrison writes "A little over four years after moving to SourceForge at a current rate of several hundred downloads every day, BZFlag has finally "gone platinum". With over 1,000,000 SourceForge downloads, BZFlag looks to be the third game (following Tux Racer and StepMania) to go 'sf platinum'. While this doesn't include the many tens of thousands distributed prior to the project's migration to sf.net during the SGI days, it's a momentous occasion for open source gaming regardless."

    "If it generated any sort of income for the creators, it would be momentous for them."


    If I had created anything that was downloaded a million times I'd sure be proud and I'd surley remember it forever.


    Takes a lot to get a million downloads of anything.
