- ungzd 10y agoInvest in Clash of Clans, not this nostalgic shooter company. New generation never played such quakey games. Even Valve already knows that Half-life and so on has commercial value comparable to Nethack and is building new click-to-pay free-to-play mobile-first responsive disruptive VR-first AI-first isomorphic madness. http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/21/11986712/tencent-supercell-softbank-majority-stake-acquisition http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/21/11986712/tencent-supercell...
- zelias 10y agoValve would be a fantastic investment. Steam is essentially the app store for PC gamers -- which is an extremely dedicated (albeit smaller) userbase that consistently spends money buying and installing new games that come out on the platform (unlike actual mobile apps, installations of which are on the decline).
- rocky1138 10y agoAs soon as a gaming developer or publisher becomes publicly traded, the quality of their games drops through the floor. I'm very happy that Valve is private.
- blastofpast 10y agoYou might be right, but it would still be interesting to see how a holocracy run company would cope with being public.
