Anfang 2016 wurde Bigpoint f\u00c3\u00bcr einen Preis von 80 Millionen Euro an das in China ans\u00c3\u00a4ssige Unternehmen Youzu verkauft. Seitdem hat sich f\u00c3\u00bcr au\u00c3\u0178enstehende nicht sonderlich viel ver\u00c3\u00a4ndert. Wie nun offiziell bekannt gegeben wurde, wird Bigpoint CEO Khaled Helioui, welcher das Unternehmen seit f\u00c3\u00bcnf Jahren leitet, Bigpoint verlassen um sich neuen Zielen zu stellen. Die \u00c3\u0153bernahme von Bigpoint durch Youzu h\u00c3\u00a4tte laut damaliger Pressemitteilung eine neue \u00c3\u201era f\u00c3\u00bcr Bigpoint einleiten sollen. Unter anderem wurde damals das neue Spiel Hocus Puzzle angek\u00c3\u00bcndigt, bei welchem es sich um eine Candy Crush Saga-Kopie handelte die vom Markt jedoch nicht sonderlich erfolgreich aufgenommen wurde. Die Position von Khaled wird in Zukunft Brian Morrisroe einnehmen, welcher seit zwei Jahren bei Bigpoint arbeitet und zuvor die Position als Director of New Games innehatte. Laut Youzu plant Bigpoint zeitnah zahlreiche neue Spiele f\u00c3\u00bcr mobile Endger\u00c3\u00a4te zu ver\u00c3\u00b6ffentlichen. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our partnership with Youzu is already a success story, Lin Qi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s team support & trust in Bigpoint\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s potential demonstrates they are indeed the best partner Bigpoint could hope for as it enters its next phase of growth. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be prouder of the commitment, dedication & passion our teams have shown over the last few years and have been consistently humbled by their trust & loyalty, especially in the difficult times we faced. Bigpoint has now not only the proper backing but also the best leadership team in its history to shape this industry. After more than 5 years with Bigpoint, it is time for me to pursue new, personal goals and entrust the team to take over and push Bigpoint to new heights.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2 said Khaled Helioui, Chief Executive Officer of Bigpoint. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thanks to Khaled, Bigpoint employees and Youzu, we are now in a great position to tackle the ever challenging market conditions. Bigpoint and Youzu management teams are all in agreement regarding the goals we need to pursue, and how to achieve them. With our combined efforts, we are expecting to release a raft of important mobile titles this year in the European territories.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2 said Brian Morrisroe, previously Director of New Games and newly appointed as Managing Director. The founder and Chief Executive Officer of Youzu Inc., Lin Qi, also added:\u00c2 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Youzu is one of the pioneers helping to shape the future of the entertainment industry.
