Bigpoint developer of the upcoming tactical space combat MMOG Battlestar Galactica Online, announced that when the game launches in the US it will be exclusively on Syfy.com for the first 30 days. Odd considering that Bigpoint does actually run their own game portal. This is obviously something to do with the licensing of the property and Syfy trying to get more out of it than just a nod and a pile of cash.
Currently in private beta for select players in Europe and North America, Bigpoint is planning to launch the open beta in Q1. Bigpoint released the game’s cinematic trailer last year. Battlestar Galactica Online is licensed through Universal Partnerships & Licensing on behalf of NBC Universal Television Consumer Products Group. NBC Universal owns Syfy. Formerly the Sci-Fi Channel, the name was changed in 2009 so that it could be trademarked as opposed to the generic science fiction term.
