Gambitious resurfaces with profitable titles and a new way to invest in games

Gambitious was founded in 2012 as a platform for game investing that could tap sources of money that could go beyond what was possible with ordinary crowdfunding. But as the legal rules for crowdfunding remained foggy for several years in the U.S., the company stayed on the safe side of investing, funding games with small groups of richer investors.

But now that the regulations related to the U.S. Jobs Act Title III — which set up new ways to raise money from the public such as equity crowdfunding — are finally taking shape, Gambitious is coming out again in a more public way. It has already published six indie games. It is announcing that it has three more games coming in the near future. And so it wants to show that investing in games isn’t necessarily as dead as some people might think, given the chilly climate among venture capitalists and the public markets. In fact, from Gambitious’ perspective, it is just getting going.
