Gloops’ Social Baseball Card Game On Mobage Gets 2 Million Users In 93 Days [Social Games]

G

One of the biggest third-party game providers on Mobage, Tokyo-based gloops, announced that its social baseball card game on Mobage has hit 2 million registered users on November 18. “Dainekkyo!! Pro Yakyu Card” was released on August 18, meaning the game took 93 days to reach that milestone.

Gloops reported 1.5 million registered players for the title (after 58 days) just four weeks ago.

Konami filed a lawsuit against gloops, saying that Dainekkyo!! Pro Yakyu Card is too similar to their social baseball card game, Professional Baseball Dream Nine. The Konami title was available exclusively available for GREE, until it hit Mobage last month, putting it in direct competition to the gloops game.
