Interview with Rob Small, Miniclip CEO from Guardian Unlimited: Technology
...if anyone remembers Championship Conkers that we built 4 years ago, they'll remember that it went on the The Sun's website in their 'fun' section. The Sun have been using miniclip.com syndicated games in their fun section ever since then....miniclip.com is now the biggest privately held online games website in the world and has 34 million unique gamers per month. They have been profitable since year one and now make advergames for companies like Warner Bros, Gillette and Coke. A competitor network of theirs sold out last year for $600m!!!! I've been using their games since 2002 and assumed that they were part of some huge corporate but a couple of months ago I found out that it is in fact owned by Robert Small, a guy who was in my year at school! The git.
Here's an interview he's just given the Guardian.
