Prediction: Fundraising Reckoning for Studios Founded During Lockdown

The prediction is that mobile gaming studios founded during the lockdown periods of 2020-2022 will face a reckoning in terms of fundraising. During this time, there was a frenzy of investor activity, with teams being able to raise substantial amounts of funding quickly. However, many of these teams may not have had the necessary qualifications or experience to successfully develop and launch a game. The lower quality bar for investment during this period means that some studios may struggle to meet expectations and secure further funding. Additionally, the market has become more competitive, making it harder for these studios to stand out and attract investment. This prediction highlights the challenges that these studios may face in scaling their businesses and securing the necessary funding to sustain their operations.
