Mobile Gaming Acquisitions on Pace to Boom in 2018

Through its Full-Featured games model, Tapinator is creating sustainable, franchise-like games that each have the potential to bring in $100 million or more in revenues and which boast product lifespans of at least five years. TAPM employs a set of proprietary dynamic development and marketing processes factored on gaming category, approximated player retention and predicted player profitability.

Headquartered in New York, Tapinator has product development teams in the U.S., Germany, Pakistan, Indonesia, Russia and Canada. Among its current endeavors, the company is actively exploring virtual reality and augmented reality opportunities and has exploratorily released various prototype virtual reality games to gather data before pursuing a more significant product in this category. Tapinator additionally intends to pursue publishing transactions that leverage its network, platform relationships and operational expertise, and management is delving into significant opportunities to expand the company's gaming IP to new platforms like Steam and to leading messaging apps.

All of these attributes, achievements and pursuits make Tapinator an attractive potential M&A target for larger players seeking a piece of the mobile gaming pie-and such companies have been in plentiful supply.

Companies like Tencent Holdings Limited (OTC: TCEHY) have made significant acquisitions in the mobile games space in recent years, such as the much-publicized 2016 majority stake acquisition of SuperCell to the tune of $8.6 billion. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is certainly no stranger to big acquisitions, and near the end of 2014 the tech giant finalized its acquisition of Mojang, the creator of "Minecraft," for $2.5 billion. In February 2017, Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) made its move into the mobile gaming space with a $275.9 million acquisition of Social Point, while even more recently-in early November 2017-gaming giant Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire the mobile card game studio belonging to Peak Games for $100 million.

These are just a few examples of big players sitting up, taking notice and taking action to cash in on the red-hot mobile games market. As 2018 draws nearer and mobile games continue to ever more firmly establish a stronghold as the fastest-growing sector within the gaming space, continued acquisition action could spell good news for micro-cap companies like Tapinator.
