This might be interesting for some who are thinking about going long, quoting from KEY's last half year report (19 September 2017) http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/KWS/13367017.html
section 5
Seasonal business
The video games industry and, in particular, the console sector of the games industry, remains heavily dependent on sales of new releases of games and consoles during the traditional holiday season, including the run up to Thanksgiving in the United States and Christmas in other parts of the world. As with all other service providers to the video games industry, certain of Keywords Group's service lines typically experiences significantly higher activity as part of this release cycle during the six months from June to November. This activity drives increased revenues in that period and generates higher gross profit margins compared with the first six months of each calendar year.
