The latest data released by the consulting company Digi-Capital shows that in the first quarter of this year, the investment in the game industry fell by 7%year-on-year.From 2011 to 2014, investment in this industry has fallen by 25%.In the first 10 months of the end of March this year, the total investment in venture capital to the game industry was 1.4 billion US dollars.This landslide is mainly due to most of the venture capital investors hate risks, and it is very difficult to predict what game can be red.

Tim Merl, managing director of DIGI-Capital, said that investment in the game industry is significantly declining.Compared to other industries, there are fewer venture capital investors in the game industry.

Although it is difficult for developers to develop console games and PC games, companies that provide game development tools are not the case.VC is still willing to invest in this field, trying to develop a certain technology into industry standards.

Mobile technology is still the most attractive field of attention, because a large part of investment from Asia.Strategic investors in China, Japan and South Korea are investing in mobile developers and mobile technology companies.

"Merrar said:" For developers who have strong performance indicators in the Asian local market, many investors will invest in additional investment. "

Because it is difficult to attract investment, many game studios are currently raising funds for the development of new games through the crowdfunding platform.However, crowdfunding is difficult to meet the capital needs of game development."Crowdfunding is still a major source of early financing, but only accounts for less than 2%of the total investment in the video game industry."

Although KickStarter has achieved great success in the near future, it seems that investment from crowdfunders is still difficult to replace venture capital.
