The Future of Gaming
Historically, the video game industry had hardware and software. You would buy an expensive machine from Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo. And then you would buy expensive software games from names like Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) or Ubisoft. And then you would have fun.
This all changed in 2007 when the iPhone hit the market. Now Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the dominant gaming platform on the hardware side. My iPhone is filled with simple and free video games. My favorite mobile game actually cost a few bucks -- it's Clue, from Hasbro. While my family owns some of the old-school video gaming stocks, most of the strongest stock investments in gaming are on the mobile side. Specifically, I love Sea (NYSE: SE) and Unity Software (NYSE: U). Sea is the creator of the most popular mobile game in the world, Free Fire. And Unity is the game engine that software developers often use to create those simple games for the iPhone.
