<\/a>The report explores the underlying drivers that have made gaming increasingly accessible and social, and identifies the key trends that are transforming the sector:

– Games merging the physical and online worlds in all areas of society
– New revenue streams emerging for game developers and companies 
– Content becoming ever more important to retain players and prolong playability 
– Bringing social responsibility to virtual worlds, as gaming becomes an integral part of society

Alec Dafferner, Partner at GP Bullhound, comments: \u201cThe growing demand from end-users for engaging, meaningful and interactive content is driving gaming to a whole new level. We believe that we are in the nascency of what will become a much deeper and social form of gaming. We expect the players that today nurture and build relationships through these platforms to lead us into the next generation of entertainment.\u201d
