EHh, stop being so negative. You do need to register, so at least there’s the initial interest … and as for free browser based games go, it’s rather decent – as a fan project. I doubt it means much to anyone else, but being able to walk parts of the galactica and fly vipers, taking down cylons… it’s quite the awesome feeling for any fan of the show.

Seeing how JUST cause people registered doesn’t mean the game is good, actually if people thought about things like this it’s actually not something to brag about.

Now if they said active players thats a different story, but registered players could mean 4.5 million of them registered, played for 5 mins and never returned. NO ONE ever unregisters for a f2p game, especially browser based ones, IF..IF there’s even that option.

It’s like the ToR pre-order numbers hype. Pre-orders DO NOT mean guaranteed sales and they sure as shit don’t have anything to do with subscription numbers.
