Charting the Course- CBRE Forecasts UAE as Prime Destination for Gaming Ventures and Investments

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) emerges as an enticing domain for gaming enthusiasts and discerning investors alike, as per findings from CBRE Institutional Research. Recently, the equity and credit teams from CBRE Institutional Research embarked on a journey to the UAE, delving into the burgeoning gaming scene, dissecting its complexities, and crafting a compelling narrative for potential investments. Across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ras Al Khaimah, their expedition unveiled a region brimming with potential and opportunities waiting to be seized.

A prosperous oasis: the UAE gaming scene:

Renowned for opulence and grandeur, the UAE boasts a robust tourism industry characterized by extravagant spending and a predilection for luxury. Coupled with a business-friendly environment and top-tier infrastructure, the stage is set for an unparalleled gaming revolution in the Middle East. The absence of significant gaming competition only serves to heighten the allure, painting a portrait of vast, untapped potential awaiting exploration.

Venturing into the heart of the UAE’s gaming landscape, according to Asia Gaming Brief, investors are greeted with a plethora of insights and prospects. From regulatory advancements to the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for gaming, each aspect provides a glimpse into the promising future of the region.

The wheels of commercial gaming regulation are already in motion, signaling the imminent arrival of gaming to the UAE. Expect a regulatory framework conducive to operators, offering favorable terms regarding gaming tax, exclusivity, and licensing.

With a projected Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) TAM of $8.5 billion, propelled by a thriving tourism market and latent gaming demand, the UAE presents a tantalizing prospect for investors. However, market growth may be tempered by supply constraints.

Often overlooked, the margin potential in the UAE gaming sector is substantial, estimated to exceed 50 percent. This figure, surpassing consensus estimates, underscores the untapped profitability awaiting savvy investors.

Flagship ventures: the rise of Wynn Al Marjan Island:

The inaugural Integrated Resort (IR), Wynn Al Marjan Island, stands as a beacon of success in the UAE’s gaming landscape. Forecasts suggest significant GGR, robust non-gaming revenue, and substantial EBITDARM, painting a picture of financial prosperity for stakeholders.

According to a new report by CBRE Institutional Research, as Inside Asian Gaming reports, a US$4 billion integrated resort being developed by Wynn Resorts on Al Marjan Island in the United Arab Emirates is projected to generate gross gaming revenues of US$1.38 billion annually, with net revenues reaching US$1.8 billion. Analysts foresee a rapid ramp-up for the property in Ras Al Khaimah due to the current lack of gaming supply in the region.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Studio Says It's Done Making "Walking Sim" Horror Games

Bloober Team, the Polish studio famous for games such as Layers of Fear, The Medium, and the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, said it will no longer make the sort of psychological “walking simulator” horror games it’s largely focused on to date. Instead, the studio will shift into “mass-market horror,” which presumably means games with more combat and gameplay mechanics than its past works. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Speaking to Engadget, studio co-founder Piotr Babieno said the team is moving into what is internally referred to as “Bloober Team 3.0,” with the recent reimagined Layers of Fear (2023) marking the end of Bloober Team 2.0, which itself began with 2016’s Layers of Fear.

‘Our 33-year legacy deserves a genuine goodbye’- Game Informer staff tweets one last goodbye after all of their work was deleted, then GameStop nukes the account from orbit

Last week, GameStop abruptly shut down its long-running gaming magazine, Game Informer. The staff was blindsided by the news when they got to work on Friday morning—all 13 employees were laid off on the spot, and the next magazine issue, which was nearly complete, will not be finished.

GameStop announced the shutdown on the official Game Informer X account with a goodbye statement thanking readers for being a part of its “epic quest.” Game Informer staff suggested they had nothing to do with the brief, cringey statement that reads like ChatGPT output. Soon after, they were alarmed to find that the entire Game Informer website had disappeared: years and years of articles had been replaced with the same GameStop statement.

This morning, the Game Informer X account went…

If I were living in the US, this is the 32-inch 4K gaming monitor I’d buy right now

If you’ve been looking to upgrade to a 4K monitor and just need a nudge in the right direction, Gigabyte has a pretty great sale on at Best Buy, that nowhere else is doing.

Already “the affordable 4K gaming monitor to beat”, according to our Gigabyte M32UC review, this monitor is only made better by a limited-time sale. Regularly checking over all the best cheap gaming monitor deals every week, I’m used to seeing this screen at retailers but I noticed it was sold out pretty much everywhere, except Best Buy, that is, where you can pick it up for just $500 until November 1.

Admittedly, it won’t be top of the list for those of you looking for the best HDR experience—with just HDR 400, the Gigabyte isn’t fantastic. However, that 4K screen looks great, even if it doesn’t …

Thanks to billionaires and businesses going mad for AI, Nvidia’s market cap rockets past $3 trillion, pushing Apple into third place

Ten years ago, Nvidia was a successful graphics card company, with a pretty impressive market capitalisation of $10 billion. Now, thanks to huge revenue and profits, all driven by the tech world’s desire to have everything and everyone infused with AI, Nvidia’s share prices have reached such a point that its market cap is now an astonishing three trillion dollars—higher than Apple, Google, and Amazon.

Only Microsoft has a larger market cap, though the margins between it, Nvidia, and Apple are all very narrow. Well, if one can call tens of billions of dollars ‘narrow.’ For those unfamiliar with the term market capitalisation, it’s a relative measure of how valuable a company is on stock markets, with the figure determined by a simple multiplication of the …
