Looked into this share in great detail and it's going to be the next major player in the games industry. Huge

Only a matter of time before GFIN breaks through its previous all time highs of 28p and quickly heads to 40p. GFIN could/should be valued at nearer £100m not £50m is 50p per share.

Oh that's odd. Last I saw it dropped down to around 3%

I must have read it incorrectly

[saucepan] 24/8/2017 18:51

Closed +13.3%; not exactly a disappearance?

[nylelevi] 24/8/2017 17:37

It jumped up today to over 15% but then the gain seemed to have disappeared soon after

[saucepan] 24/8/2017 16:04

Very quiet here, considering today's move. Still off the radar of most private investors?

[arasetoma] 23/8/2017 13:18

Gfinity (GFIN) was appointed as an e-sports partner for Formula 1 to deliver the Formula 1 E-Sports series in September, helping the stock gain 6.2% to 22.3p.

Whoop Whoop

I noticed Game have a similar offering when researching them post-profit warning. "Belong" by game.

[saucepan] 21/8/2017 12:46

Hi folks. I have joined you today. Today's RNS looks a good catalyst. The technical set up looks great, too: a nice consolidation pattern resolving to the upside as a result of today's move (which also comes nicely through/off the 50-day moving average).

This may also be of interest for anyone else new:

Tencent Holdings (NASDAQOTH:TCEHY),
Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI)
and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA).

Tencent Holdings

Chinese tech giant Tencent is the biggest video game company in the world by total revenue. Six years ago, it acquired Riot Games, the maker of League of Legends

Activision Blizzard

Tencent's Riot Games holds the top spot in overall Twitch viewership, but four other top ten titles -- Hearthstone, Starcraft II, Overwatch, and Heroes of the Storm -- are published by Activision Blizzard. Hearthstone, which ranks fourth, is a card game which features collectable cards. Fifth-place Starcraft II is a popular real-time strategy game, sixth-place Overwatch is a first-person shooter, and eighth-place Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA.

Electronic Arts

Activision's rival Electronic Arts spent more time expanding its mobile gaming portfolio in recent years than investing in e-sports, but it has some ambitious plans for the future. In late 2015, EA launched its own e-sports unit, dubbed the Competitive Gaming Division, and assigned COO Peter Moore to lead the business as its "chief competition officer."

Last June, the unit announced new competitive gaming competitions for its own titles, which included four EA-owned and operated tournaments called "majors" for top games like Madden NFL 16 and Battlefield 1. EA offered up to $1 million in prizes throughout the series -- matching the average prize pool of major competitions across the industry.

EA still has a lot of catching up to do. None of its games have broken into Twitch's top ten yet, and it cancelled Dawngate, its potential MOBA challenger to League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm, in 2014. It also hasn't sealed any big broadcasting or streaming deals like Tencent and Activision yet. Nonetheless, the strength of EA's gaming portfolio and its creation of a dedicated e-sports unit indicate that the company could still catch up quickly.

Directors appear to be well rewarded!

[ramridge] 21/8/2017 09:29

I have started doing research on this company and looks very attractive long term. Can anyone point me to a serious competitor analysis? I assume they haven't got the whole market to themselves. Thanks.

Neville Upton, chief executive of Gfinity Plc (LON:GFIN) explains to Proactive's Andrew Scott the increasing appeal around eSports and their involvement in the space.
''It's the fastest growing form of entertainment - video games - and eSports is a part of that'', Upton says.
''It's growing very, very quickly and for many people under 30 this is a major part of their life''.
''There's also a perception that it's somehow kids in bedrooms but it's simply not that ... over half of people who compete or watch these competitions have got jobs, are married ... it's very, very mainstream''.
Neville Upton adds: ''I think the reason why people haven't cotton on to it is that a lot of the decision-makers are over 30 but people are getting more and more aware of it''.

Im also surprised it took a downturn. But as there's no apparent reason for it, it should still make it's way up again

[arasetoma] 09/8/2017 13:13

Not very good today. Although the new Australian news should have helped?

[timbo003] 09/8/2017 12:54

Fascinating stuff:


Documentary about the community of e-sports that's been almost invisible to the outside world up to now, following three young British gamers at different stages of their careers. More

Not a great day here

[nylelevi] 01/8/2017 13:41

Yep more good news

[rafieh] 01/8/2017 07:10

I am not an expert, but feel BT Sports channel deal is more important than BBC 3. People are more likely to tune in.
