GAMING AND ENTERTAINMENT ATTRACTING MORE CASH SO CI AL N ET W OR K S T H E PL AT F O RM F O R A N E X P L O SIO N OF ON L I NE ENT E RT A IN ME NT Among the spaces most touched by W eb 2.0 is entertainment (and specifically online gaming). This week’s W eb 2.0 W eekly illustrates the recent attraction of the venture funding community to video, gaming, and social networking. Key highlights include: •
Gaming companies are second to Social Networking in number of companies funded in the past three months.
•
Seven of the top 10 share price gainers in the week were gaming-related companies.
•
As we highlighted in the last issue, the value of virtual goods market – indelibly a function of social games, such as Farmville – is expected to exceed $1 billion next year.
•
Social games are among the fastest growing online user populations. For example, Café World (a Zynga game) reached more than 10 million monthly active users since its October 2, 2009 launch.
F OL L O W T H E U S E RS … Several reasons for the rapid explosion in online gaming interest: (1) Broadband streaming of video has vastly improved the quality and entertainment value of gaming offerings. (2) Tie-in with Social Networks, such as Facebook, provides exposure for the myriad third-party game developers to massive and growing user bases who represent high-value target consumers in terms of percentage of time spent online and level of interest in video games. (3) If the online form of entertainment involves good content, users have demonstrated that consumption will occur wherever it is available. This type of consumption allows for far greater volume of use than conventional gaming. Capital Market Activity by Sector - Last Three Months 200.0 180.0 160.0 140.0
