Scopely, the publisher of games like Star Trek: Fleet Command and Marvel Strike Force, has raised $340 million to continue its mobile growth plans as players embrace games during the pandemic.

It also shows that some big, experienced investors are willing to double down on games as they become a giant industry in the midst of COVID-19.
