Storm8 hits 300 million downloads, 100 million unique devices

Looking to double headcount to double down

Storm8 hits 300 million downloads, 100 million unique devices
Social gaming publisher Storm8 has announced its library of titles has been downloaded more than 300 million times, reaching more than 100 million unique devices.

CEO Perry Tam reasons that those 100 million unique devices equates to 1 in 5 active iOS and Android users.

Big bucks

This isn't the first indication of Storm8's (which also includes the TeamLava female-focused games) success, though.

TechCrunch reports that the studio was responsible for 10 of the top 100 grossing iOS apps during 2011.

And this news follows Storm8's $700,000 payday, which was generated in one month after the introduction of in-app purchases to the Amazon Appstore.

Now, the developer is hiring, and Tam hopes to double the Bay Area studio's headcount to 240 by the end of the year.
