2 big sectors of gaming are booming right now. AR/VR and Web 3.

With augmented and virtual reality, “big” games are becoming more and more immersive. The differences between the game and real life are blurred. This is just the beginning. It’s a very exciting time to be in AR/VR.

Web 3 gaming is about giving ownership to the players. In multiplayer games, players are key. The more they play, the better the game is. So web 3 game makers are rewarding the most active and early players with crypto tokens that have real world value. Another way that web 3 gaming is taking off is through digital assets. Players can now purchase assets on one game and port these assets to other games.

Several venture capital firms are betting that the magic will happen (is happening) when AR/VR crosses paths with Web 3.

The gaming industry is a lot more than AR/VR and web 3. Let’s dive into a definition:

What does the gaming industry mean?

The gaming industry encompasses all sectors involved in developing, producing, marketing, and selling video games and game hardware.

This includes not only the creation and distribution of video games across various platforms—such as consoles, PCs, and mobile devices—but also the development of gaming technology, such as game engines and graphics technology.

The industry also involves esports, gaming communities, streaming services, and merchandise related to video games.

Example of a successful UK gaming company: Media Molecule

Media Molecule, based in Guildford, England, is a notable example of a successful UK gaming startup. Founded in January 2006 by a group of former Lionhead Studios employees, Media Molecule is best known for its innovative and creative game titles, most notably the "LittleBigPlanet" series and "Dreams."

Understanding Gaming Investors

In Gaming, angel investors often have deep sector experience or successful entrepreneurial backgrounds, investing personal funds in innovative startups. Gaming VCs finance more developed ventures poised for market expansion.
