Esports & Gaming

Professionally / with competitive intent or you just love the game?

I just enjoy playing it in my downtime.

What interests you?

I am not much into e-sports. Was in a dream once. But a hardcore gamer till now :)

Game designer jobs are there. Multiple startups are there for the same. For example Super Gaming by INDUS is launching an Indian made Battle Royale game. Btw what company you’re into the marketing job?

Indus is probably going to fail, they are too late to the battle royal hype cycle. I switched more than 6-7 years ago. Even now after all these years there's only a handful of good studios with good games. The rest are just working on outsource gigs and contract work, not in-house IP.

Great to hear that. Would you be open to give more details on the same without naming anything in specific?

Yeah, sure, it's sort of like Friend Tech, I guess? It'll basically be a platform focused on e sport players where they will essentially be able to turn their persona into tokens (like shares) and people will be able to trade in them (like shares)

I think you can still start small, I started it quite small. And then was able to raise funding post 1.5 years

Which one. I am still on Fifa 21 I guess but I have loved fifa 17. Also the version where they introduced Hunter.

I play FIFA 23 now but FIFA 17 for me is the best version ever.

This is iconic

But I don’t think that the Indian scene is picking up anytime soon in these games. Whatever little hope is there is in Valorant through Global Esports.

Hello

For which eSports org do you work ?

If you are talking about casino games then can’t say much. If you’re talking about regular games like CoC, Clash Royale etc., then how can a Dev/publisher will generate revenue if they don’t do in-app purchase directly linked to progression in the game.

Leave aside mobile games, even large games like assassins creed not spared from this greed. On mobile games point they'll have 5 different currencies, 5n different combinations to gamble. For example a simpler racing game why can't it have 1 currency, which you either collect aur buy say 100₹ get 1000 game coin, Or the players wins some coins per race and accumulates new car purchase/upgrade cost 5000 coins if has the balance can buy. But no the game designers have made it such that you win some coin or pay to open 1 box out of 3 which can have anything from coins, or cards or complete part whatever, no surety what the player is buying. There should be some reason from tinder to astrotalk these apps are getting money in India it's easy to understand form user POV.

I have this app and I met the founders of it last year at DreamHack. Called him few weeks back but then didn’t hear from him. Don’t know how they are doing currently.

What’s this? Please tell me more.

Formula 1 E-Sports championships Google can explain you way better than I can here in this thread. Maybe I am not able to understand what you are specifically asking for.

What is your role? And any startup/ established which I would have heard of?

Lead PM. Don’t think you may have heard about us yet - we are a grassroots esports platform similar to the likes of FaceIt & Epulze. You will hear about us very soon, big expansions planned/underway.
