SEATTLE, WA–Investors in Big Fish Games say “big” isn’t “big enough.” During the annual stockholder’s meeting last week, a group of disgruntled investors drafted a statement of direction and promised to squeeze the board of directors unless their demands for immediate and impressive growth were quickly realized.

“It goes without saying that metaphorically, the Big Fish is supposed to be the biggest fish in the pond,” said investor group leader, Lester Flippet. “And even though Big Fish can’t be described as a minnow or a smelt, it’s certainly not a whale shark, which is the biggest fish in the sea. I’d say it was more like a hefty grouper.”

Officers and directors at Big Fish were confused by the comparisons. Company spokesperson, Felicity Kashmore, was clearly flummoxed when addressing a press conference following the stockholder meeting.

“Big Fish is not resting on its laurels or shirking growth in any way,” defended Kashmore. “We think we are much larger than a hefty grouper and, while it’s true that we aren’t a whale shark, such as EA, and certainly we have a way to go, we like to think of ourselves as both hungry and pretty darn big, sort of like a bull shark.”

“Bull shark, my ass,” responded Flippet, “Bull sharks are man-eaters, ferocious and unpredictable. We investors don’t see that killer spirit in Big Fish’s corporate moves or in their products. Okay, Fish Tycoon was revolutionary, but we need more than that. We want a 1000% growth for three years running. If Big Fish doesn’t become a Great White by March 2010, we’re gunning for the board! Aye, aye, Captain!”

Negotiations between the board and the investor group have been scheduled.

“We’re hoping that they’ll accept a deal whereby we promise to become an Alaskan halibut by Q2,” stated Kashmore. “That seems doable, we think.”
