Extraordinary insights from Teemu Leskinen -led Fundco event in Helsinki discussing mobile and console game trends. Peter Y. Levin of Griffin Gaming Partners made a convincing case on his 55th visit to Finland why the industry has a huge impact for all of us, not least because of its symbiosis with the wider entertainment and streaming industry. Finland got earlier today mentioned in the US VP debate as a responsible country for gun control by both Vance and Walz. It is true, but more and more Finns prefer online fights in gaming environment to hunting or recreational shooting. However, as pointed out by Peter, VR in gaming is still a minor niche, whilst mobile and console grow at a healthy pace. I am personally excited about such retro successes as Larian Studio’s Baldur’s Gate 3 and Sid Meier’s Civilization VII. Great to also hear insights on Finnish successes in gaming from Sulake’s Habbo Hotel to Next Games’ Netflix collaboration. 🚀
