Netflix is making dozens of hires and opening a studio in Finland to bolster its mobile games push. Netflix is hirings dozens of experts to bolster its year-old push into gaming. A recent Forrester survey of Netflix subscribers, reviewed exclusively by Insider, showed only 5% had played one of Netflix's mobile games in the previous month, while 4% said its mobile games keep them subscribing, and 54% said "I could care less" about games on Netflix. However, the streamer in September announced it was opening a games studio in Helsinki, Finland. But there's a lot of competition in mobile gaming and for consumers' attention, Proulx added, and it's an open question "how hard they should press with their strategy."
☆ Posh ice cream, craft beer in vogue as Chinese downsize their love of luxury
  + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Casey Hall | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
SHANGHAI, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Chinese consumers are typically known for lavish spending on high-end handbags, clothes and accessories that sustain Western luxury brands. Brands that have jumped on the trend include Kweichow Moutai (600519.SS), best known for $300 bottles of baijiu, the Chinese spirit popular at banquets. It debuted baijiu-infused ice cream at $10 a cup in May, racking up 2.5 million yuan ($350,000) of sales on the first day. Chinese consumers are "spoiling themselves with those little things and they're loving something novel," said Mark Tanner, founder of marketing agency China Skinny. "When times aren't so good, people want to feel better, guilty pleasures like ice cream can help," said Low.

CNN —Video game purists expecting a faithful adaptation of the original Nintendo game might be somewhat surprised by first teaser for the new “Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which debuted on Thursday. This is also when the game’s memorable music is finally heard, albeit briefly. The CGI-animated film, from Nintendo and Illumination, features several other big name stars, including Charlie Day as Mario’s brother Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. The last time the iconic video game was translated into a feature-length studio film was almost 30 years ago, with the ill-begotten 1993 release of the live-action “Super Mario Bros.,” starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo. The new movie is due to hit theaters on April 7, 2023.

☆ Adobe, Figma Deal Signals New Era in Collaboration, Productivity
  + stars: | 2022-09-15 | by ( Steven Rosenbush | Isabelle Bousquette | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +7 min
The purchase of Figma, whose tools are used by designers and developers, is Adobe’s largest-ever acquisition and extends its reach into new areas. The rising popularity of social networks helped fuel interest in an earlier wave of collaboration technology companies, including Jive Software and workplace chat company Yammer, later acquired by Microsoft Corp. in 2012 for $1.2 billion. Startups that employ concepts of collaboration, including digital work-space company Notion, document company Coda and app platform Airtable, took off among software, design and product teams. Adobe is best-known by consumers for software programs—including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat—used for graphic design, video editing and more. The fact that Adobe was willing to pay so much for Figma reflects that belief that its software was fundamentally different, according to Mr. Saper.
☆ US Video Gaming Industry in 2022: Gaming Devices & Video Game Content Viewership Trends
  + stars: | 2022-01-21 | by ( Insider Intelligence | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
After the 2020 pandemic bump, we expect monthly digital gaming usage will see minimal growth through the end of our forecast (1.1% in 2022 and 0.9% in 2023). We expect the number of US digital gamers to reach 179.6 million by 2022. Other gaming platforms that serve as a happy medium between convenient mobile gaming technology and more advanced console systems are laptop and PC devices. Overall, there will be more than 29.6 million monthly US esports viewers in 2022, amounting to over 49.9% of all GVC viewers. But this growth won’t last too long, as monthly digital gamers are expected to increase by just 1.1% in 2022.
☆ OPINION: Play-to-earn games like Axie Infinity are blowing up right now, but they look a lot like Ponzi schemes

He suggests Axie Infinity only creates value by taking money from new players and distributing it to established players. One of the most apparently successful examples of web3 that people point to, aside from art NFTs, is so-called play-to-earn games. NFT EconomyAxies, the tradable characters at the center of Axie Infinity, are tradable as NFTs outside of the official Axie Infinity game. I've focused on Axie Infinity because it's the prominent, genre-defining play-to-earn game. I fully suspect that the pitfalls that it has encountered are ones that all play-to-earn games will eventually encounter.
☆ I'm an investor who has put millions in cryptocurrencies. I'm betting that crypto games will be the next big thing— here's why.

For the uninitiated, the difference between P2E gaming versus traditional games can be compared to Pokémon cards versus traditional board games. We also have our eye on other fast-growing P2E games like Cryptoblades, Mobox, Illuvium, and Splinterlands. We see the migration by gamers from traditional games to P2E and we want to participate in that evolution. Hundreds of these gaming tokens will become available — but beware, they are volatile. Video games built on blockchain technology enable not just gaming, but the ability to earn, store and resell crypto and NFTs earned for winning.
