Emerging Opportunities at the Convergence of Video Games, Social Networks, and Media

The convergence of video games, computer-mediated social networks, and digital content services is creating new opportunities for venture capital investors and a broad array of incumbent companies. During this installment of Rutberg Quarterly, industry executives, entrepreneurs, and investors will investigate up-and-coming examples of converged user experiences, interaction models, and content types. Promising new monetization models such as in-game advertising, virtual item commerce, prepaid tokens, subscriptions, and digital content sales also will be explored. Overall, the discussion will seek to surface areas that are ripe for new entrants, opportunities that have the greatest potential for value creation, and the acquisition rationale for incumbent companies.
