Last call - Allstar will be in #Cologne for #Gamescom next week. If you'll be in town and are looking for ways to connect your brand to gamers authentically, or are building a product for core games like #CS2 #LeagueofLegends #Fortnite #Dota2 and want to increase engagement, retention or revenue through cloud generated highlights, let's talk! We've seen gamers increase their monthly games played over 85% (!) after they engage with their first cloud highlight. Why? Because nothing is more fun than being able to effortlessly rewatch, personalize and share your most memorable and engaging in-game moments as high quality video without friction. Allstar helps everyday gamers make friends, stay connected to communities, and enhances their overall gaming experience by making it easier than taking a selfie to create and connect through content. Allstar currently generates more than 3.3M clips a month (over 1 clip a second) and I'm excited to share that almost HALF of those are in League of Legends now. Next stop: Fortnite! Meet my co-founder and CTO Gavin Silver and our head of business development John DeHart 🔜 Gamescom next week, just shoot me a DM and I'll get you connected. #games #videogames #esports #socialmedia

Game publishers play a critical role in the gaming ecosystem, acting as the bridge between game developers and the market. 🤝 Their position is multifaceted, involving a variety of functions that support the development, distribution, and commercial success of video games. Publishers assist in scaling games beyond the capabilities of independent developers, which is why Midwest Games, our portfolio company, is in a unique position to diversify and amplify games and developers from traditionally underrepresented regions. Their work supports and enriches the gaming landscape with a wider array of voices and experiences. #MidwestGames just signed its second game title, The Lullaby of Life – a mesmerizing game that invites players on a journey of discovery, where the power of music unlocks the secrets of the universe. It was developed by Mexico-based 1 Simple Game. By backing founder Ben Kvalo and team, we're not just investing in a single game but in a vision for a more vibrant, diverse, and dynamic gaming ecosystem! We are excited to be part of their journey as they continue to innovate and partner with the best developers. Check out The Lullaby of Life trailer in the comments! 👇
