Wordox redux: Boonty to relaunch popular online word game
Wordox: Word Snatcher, a popular online word game that went offline when the dot-com bubble burst, will make a comeback in the next few days, Roman Nouzareth, founder and CEO of New York game distributor Boonty Inc., tells Behind the Money.
Wordox, which lets you steal your opponents' letters, was a big hit at the beginning of the decade, with 4 million members and around 40,000 people playing at the same time, according to Nouzareth (pictured). "As a comparison, today -- and not six years ago -- the biggest Pogo game has around 15,000 people playing at the same time," he explains, referring to Electronic Arts Inc.'s gaming site.
