The Chinese developer and publisher Netease increased operating expenses by 75% in the 1st quarter of fiscal year 2018. The increased expenses of the company are associated with the development and publication of new games for the PC platform, for which Netease has big plans.

The strategy genre is far from stagnating. The Swedish publisher and developer Paradox Interactive, who made a bet on this direction, is thriving today. In the first quarter alone, he earned $30.4 million dollars, which is 120% more than a year earlier.

The non-governmental American organization Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), which is engaged in setting age ratings for games launched in the United States and Canada, stops from June 2018 to independently issue them to games distributed digitally for free.

It is really possible to attract investors with an interesting idea, even with minimal experience and a small team. This is evidenced by the story of Alexander Mistakidis, CEO of a small Canadian studio Gamelynx.
