Games and Venture Capital
Thursday, July 10th, 2008I wrote a few days ago about the dearth of venture capital for projects in the video games space. Two interesting developments in the area are worth watching in the area: the effect of executives from the video game space becoming investors. Two examples from the last week: the launch of GCube Ventures, which includes Shiraz Akmal from THQ as one of the principals (my interview with GCube is here); and an investment made Mitch Lasky (of JAMDAT fame) now at Benchmark Capital, in Riot Games today. Is there a shift in the air?
