Video game investing has been the pits lately and a disappointment of the home-bound trade for the recession and recovery. The fun and cool games have so far not translated to major gains that had been seen in the 1990’s and earlier over the last decade. The reason may be that the market is maturing now that video games are mainstream more than that there are many underlying problems. We are looking for value or growth opportunities after already having seen others run.
