Bandai Namco Entertainment invests in more U.S. game startups

Bandai Namco’s 021 Fund said it has invested in two additional U.S. game startups — Flickplay and Code Charm — as part of its strategic investment plan.

The Japanese-based company, a division of global game giant Bandai Namco Entertainment, is investing in game startups in the U.S. despite a recent spate of gaming layoffs and a slowdown in gaming venture capital investments.
