Vaguely interested, but the obvious questions are:

(a) where does the revenue come from ?
(b) acquisitions just build revenue, so where are the efficiencies that are going to lead to improved results ?
OR
(c) are existing games companies and designers currently struggling and can therefore be acquired cheaply
AND/OR
(d) are existing companies scattered all over and amalgamating them under the same roof will lead to much bigger opportunities than they could get individually ?

Anyone read the prospectus ? Is it waffle or has it got some tangibles in there ?

To be fair, I'm a bit old fashioned and I can see the attraction of combining 3 similar widget manufacturing businesses together, on the site manufacturing site and reaping efficiences from production, sales, marketing etc.

But online games ?

review but in french



Obviously, all this remains very descriptive but Hattrick is undoubtedly one of the richest video games ever created, it is quite impossible to be exhaustive. The game management requires months and months of practice before being mastered a minimum, such a huge MMO. Its possibilities are endless and its life simply unlimited, only the weariness that can convince you to stop your climb. In the opposite case, allow thousands of hours of gameplay and a total addiction (and perhaps even dangerous to your career or family, but we have warned you) as long as you take the game we recommend that you especially not take it lightly and do not burn any step, otherwise you will be propelled into a world totally alien but gigantic in which the information before you drown your first click. More importantly, Hattrick is not intended as football fans. Totally independent of the real football (without necessarily being away), this title may appeal to any player patient, loving the challenge and difficulty, at least thoughtful and open to the community. No need to be a fan of football for that!

Massively crowded marketplace and their offerings look pretty poor to me.

Looks very much a bandwagon company.

Zattikka plc (AIM: ZATT, "Zattikka" "the Group" or "the Company"), the social and casual internet games development and publishing business, announces the commencement of dealings in its Ordinary Shares on AIM today under the ticker code ZATT and the ISIN number of GB00B7YH9F32.
 
The Company has successfully completed a placing with institutional and other investors, raising approximately £12.6 million, with proceeds to be used to fund the acquisition of three online games companies and ongoing working capital.
 
Zattikka is a newly-incorporated company, focused on developing and publishing interactive games entertainment products across internet connected platforms, through various media channels. These channels include PC web browsers, social networks, mobile devices (including smartphones and tablets), connected consoles, and other emerging platforms including IP TVs and set top boxes.
 
Contemporaneous with admission, Zattikka will complete the acquisitions of three online games companies, Hattrick Holdings, Sneaky Games, Inc. and Concept Art House, Inc.. The acquisitions will provide Zattikka with products that can then be sold to end-customers in key European, US and Chinese markets, either directly through its own websites, or through third-party digital distribution channels or other new digital platforms.
 
The vision for the Company is to become a large scale, diverse games publisher with products operating across growth digital platforms, and with a targeted geographic emphasis in Europe, the US and China. The Company proposes to achieve this by developing Zattikka through strategic acquisitions and accelerating on-going organic growth.
