  • Weekly News Digest #47
    INVESTGAME Nov 16 — Nov 22, 2020 Weekly News Digest #47 Hi everyone, Last week we decided to create the archive of the weekly newsletter for your convenience — click here to access it. Roblox to go public on the New York Stock Exchange CA­based video game platform Roblox has filed its S­1 registration documents targeting an IPO on NYSE before the end of this year. Roblox has neither disclosed the sum it’s planning to raise, nor the valuation of the company. Founded in 2004, Roblox Corporation has raised $335.9m investments over the course of 8 rounds with the most recent Series G round closed in Feb 2020 — raising $150m at a $4B post­money valuation. Just eight months later in Oct 2020, Roblox’s rumored potential IPO valuation was said to be $8B. Such an impressive valuation enhancement could be explained by the strong demand for entertainment content due to COVID­19 and shelter­in­place orders (Roblox’s DAUs increased by 90% from 19.1m in Q4’19 to 36.2m DAU in Q3’20). The company’s financial results over the last twelve months ending 30 Sep 2020 are: > $1,477m Bookings vs. $727m Revenue — Roblox gradually recognizes revenue over the average lifetime of a paying user; > ($245m) Loss from operations vs. +$301m Free cash flow. Roblox is an operationally profitable business (taking into account bookings numbers), and we consider the rumored $8B as a probable valuation at IPO. The valuation multiples in such case would be 5.4x Bookings, 11.0x Revenue, and 27x Free cash flow.

Despite what many investors think, Embracer Group is not a one-man show, it is a family effort of doing something great in the gaming industry. EMBRAC.ST VERSUS OMXS30 OMXS 30 Embracer Group 200 Positive Chain of Events Two of the three major acquisitions following the Q1-report were composed by the two 150 founders of Saber Interactive (currently Embracer’s second largest shareholder) One of the 100 crucial reasons for 4A Games and NWI to “join the family” was in fact to consolidate with Saber Interactive. The effect of the acquisition of Saber Interactive resulted in two other 50 acquisitions of high-quality studios. We expect this positive chain of events will continue in 0 Embracer Group which will enable continued earnings growth for the company. 04-sep 03-dec 02-mar 31-maj 29-aug REDEYE RATING Improving the Quality One of our concerns over the years has been that Embracer’s games score relatively low in 5 ratings (Metascore and user score). Embracer has the last year communicated its “Quality 4 4 First” Strategy which has shown good results. Many of last quarter’s multiple games released has a Metascore of over 80. High quality products will always be a competitive advantage and will increase Embracer’s prospects we expect.

You feel it when you wake the next morning and throw open the bedroom window. You feel it the moment you step out into the hubbub of an unfamiliar city’s dusk for the first time. When you go somewhere new, its newness seeps into you in an all-consuming way. It’s not about the individual sights or anything you can very easily pinpoint. It’s more than that, more than the sum of its parts – it’s why we travel. It’s why Rough Guides exists. For a long time, video games could not come close to giving us this feeling. They just weren’t that immersive. Sure, you were having fun playing, but the distinction between you and the character you were controlling was clear-cut. That distinction has now been eroded. Game graphics are so immersive and all-consuming, you don’t just experience the gameplay – you experience the very world in which the gameplay unfolds. That thrilling feeling of being somewhere new is no longer the exclusive domain of real-world travel.

  • Hinweise Zum Kommentierten Katalog Element Erläuterung
    Hinweise zum kommentierten Katalog Stand: 8.12.2016 Element Erläuterung Autoren Wo nicht anders vermerkt, verfasste Nico Nolden (NN) die Einträge und die erweiterten Kommentare. Arbeitsstand Dieser Katalog ergänzt die Datenbank des Campus Kataloges der Universität Hamburg durch zusätzliche Informationen und befindet sich im Aufbau. Noch sind nicht alle digitalen Spiele von der Bibliothek des historischen Seminars erfasst, weshalb Sie noch einige Spiele dort nicht finden. Ihre Signaturfelder sind gelb markiert. Auch die Kommentare werden wegen des erheblichen Aufwandes nur nach und nach erweitert. An einigen Stellen finden sich daher auch noch Kommentare aus unserem Arbeitsprozess. Ausleihe Die digitalen Spiele können zusammen mit den Geräten nur im Medienraum der Public History benutzt werden. Bei der Ludothek handelt es sich um einen Präsenzbestand. Eine Heimausleihe ist nicht möglich (siehe Näheres bei Projekten unter www.uni-hamburg.de/public-history). Datierung Das Jahr der Erscheinung bezieht sich auf die jeweilige Edition. In Klammern beigefügt ist der Release des ursprünglichen Hauptspieles. Kommentar Die ausführlichen Kommentare legen eine explizit geschichtswissenschaftliche Perspektive an den Gegenstand an. Digitale Spiele sind daher in diesen Katalog eingegangen, wenn sie Geschichtsbilder inszenieren oder für zeitgeschichtliche Vorstellungen relevant sind. Einige sind zudem Beispiele für Entwicklungsschritte der Geschichte digitaler Spiele oder berühren erinnerungskulturelle Aspekte. So gehen in diese Liste auch Titel ein, die in ihrer abstrakten Funktion als Wissenssysteme bedeutend sind. Die rot markierten Stichworte werden nach und nach durch ausführliche Texte ersetzt, geben jedoch schon eine Vorschau, wie die digitalen Spiele geschichtswissenschaftlich genutzt werden könnten. Konten An diese Konten muss ein Spiel sich anmelden, um definitiv zu starten oder mit Zusatzinhalten sowie Multiplayermodus zu funktionieren.
