The outlook for big game investments is mixed, as both demand and fear are rising. That’s one of the observations from a panel of Series A and Series B round (larger institutional investment rounds) investors at our GamesBeat Summit 2020 event.

The panel included Phil Sanderson of Griffin Gaming Partners, Michael Cheung of Makers Fund, Rick Yang of New Enterprise Associates, and moderator Eric Goldberg of Crossover Technologies. Game investments and acquisitions have been going strong, at least in the first quarter, according to data collected by Sergei Evdokimov, an investment associate at Mail.ru Games Ventures.
