RE: AAA Publisher4 Jan 2022 18:53
Hi Backspace,
I have worked in games and esports since 2014 in one shape or another.
I have spoken to a variety of people at publishers, esports platforms, and fellow in-game ad companies
The consensus is this deal is categorically not EA as the AAA signed contract.
That would suggest it is another AAA publisher, albeit I would also suggest it is not an Activision, Konami or has a Ten Cent involvement, but there are many other AAA's out there.
I do not think the RNS was badly written in that you have to take the board of Bids on trust and assume that they were not in a position to name the AAA publisher but wanted to get the news into the market as it was clearly price sensitive.
I certainly feel there are two distinct contracts but that does not mean it could not be two independent sides of one business. My understanding is it is two companies.
Good luck with your investment. This is Bids chance to shine.
