Saudi Arabias Plan to Dominate Esports in 2024 Belinda Ercan 2024-02-06 | Esports in 2024 is a curious case indeed: As big investors are stepping out, Saudi Arabia is stepping in, pouring billions into this thriving yet fragmented industry. But is Saudi Arabia genuinely boosting esports, or is it a strategic play at the cost of the industry’s independence? With concerns about an esports monopoly, I’ll unpack Saudi Arabia's real impact.

The Secret Behind Elden Ring’s Billion-Dollar Success Belinda Ercan 2024-06-27 | Elden Ring, OHHH Elden Ring....Y'all have probably heard about Elden Ring's oh so seemingly poor marketing, but let me introduce the "Unseen Architect" of it all —the mastermind behind the silent marketing that drove them Tarnished ones crazy.I tried my hand at the game when it came out but bowed out early, yet - I couldn't help but be drawn to its promotional strategy. Their quiet approach broke all the rules, turning what looked like marketing missteps into a masterclass in anticipation.Whether you've played it or not, there's a deep dive into how strategic silence in a world of oversharing can speak louder than a buggy Keanu Reeves.Free article version available on:www.belindaercan.com/// Socials ///▸ X: twitter.com/BelindaErcan▸ Instagram: instagram.com/belindaercan▸ TikTok: tiktok.com/@ercanbelinda/// Resources ///hastebin.com/share/icagaxapul.rubyWritten & Produced by Belinda ErcanEditing and Strategic Direction by n8wealth.com#eldenring #gaming #strategy

Why can’t game companies stop cyber attacks? The answer is both straightforward and very complex Belinda Ercan 2024-04-07 | ...
Why Hackers Love the Gaming Industry Belinda Ercan 2024-04-06 | By 2025, global cybercrime is estimated to hit $10 trillion annually, a figure that places the gaming industry directly in the crosshairs. I've always wondered why even the largest gaming companies struggle to defend against hacker attacks. The reasons, as I've found, range from complex to surprisingly simple. In my journey through the world of cybercrime, I discovered that if it were a country, cybercrime would rank as the world's third-largest economy, surpassing global military spending fourfold. The gaming sector is particularly vulnerable, with notable attacks on industry giants like Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, and Sony. Despite some claims being hoaxes, the underlying motive remains universally clear: money. This video explains the impact cybercrime really has on the gaming industry and the multifaceted reasons behind the ongoing battle between game developers and hackers.Read the extended story here: belindaercan.com0:00 $10 Trillion Baby2:26 Hacker News = Wake-Up Call3:31 Game Companies = Financial Targets5:35 200 zettabytes of data6:04 3 Top Attack Vectors9:00 Insomniac, CDPR, Rockstar11:54 Why game companies can't shield themselves? 13:30 Don't be lazy, like me/// Socials ///▸ X: twitter.com/BelindaErcan▸ Instagram: instagram.com/belindaercan▸ TikTok: tiktok.com/@ercanbelinda▸ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/belindaercan/// Resourcs ///▸gamepressure.com/newsroom/tags/hackers/z166e▸finance.yahoo.com/news/twos-ttwo-grand-theft-auto-163204144.html▸2017-2022 Global Military Spending statista.com/statistics/264434/trend-of-global-military-spending▸2017-2024 Global Cybercrime Coststatista.com/forecasts/1280009/cost-cybercrime-worldwide▸statista.com/statistics/1315805/cyber-attacks-top-industries-worldwide▸ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/9117/production/_96034173_cryptor3.png.webp▸cybermap.kaspersky.com▸scmagazine.com/brief/purported-epic-games-hackers-admit-scam▸bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-28/-grand-theft-auto-maker-tells-staff-to-return-to-office-five-days-a-week▸youtube.com/watch?v=pYH5V8T-7BA▸zdnet.com/article/cd-projekt-red-game-studio-discloses-ransomware-attack-extortion-attempt▸ic3.gov/Media/News/2022/220420.pdf▸Minecraft hack: youtube.com/watch?v=c8MR15g2I6w▸kotaku.com/what-hacked-files-tell-us-about-the-studio-behind-spide-1851115233Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/creepLicense code: XTEVMTYYHF26JBUWWritten & Produced by Belinda ErcanEditing and Strategic Direction by n8wealth.com #hacker #cybercriminal #gamingnews #gamingindustry

Xboxs Plan to Win the Console War (Without Consoles) Belinda Ercan 2024-03-26 | It's a journey towards a $32 Billion gaming empire. From consoles & exclusives, to publishing on mobile, PC & cloud, to playing the long game with AI, Microsoft's Xbox is thinking outside the "box." It's on a quest to uniting a divided community under the banner of "Xbox Everywhere." I hope this video will take you on a journey as well. In light of the latest noise around Xbox exclusives, it was important to me to share my research and findings with everyone who's watching. Amidst endless echo chambers, rants, and online debates, it's easy to get lost and misunderstand the bigger picture. This video hopefully brings some clarity to what these developments mean for both the industry and us, as consumers. Please leave a like, if you like. It shows me I'm doing something right.

With the stars better aligned this time, is cloud gaming's big moment finally here? After a string of high-profile busts, it seems to be making a huge come back. And this time it’s different. But why now? What’s different? And - do we even want this Netflix of Gaming? Are we comfortable investing in games we don’t technically own? Will we flick through games as we do movies, and never truly immerse ourselves? It's a lot to unpack.

In 2022 and 2023, the gaming scene resembled a 'greatest hits' album, with few newcomers breaking through.

I've been unraveling this puzzle over the past few months, looking at why legacy franchises remain big for new gamers and what this means for the future of gaming.Is it just nostalgia, or is there more to it?
