Shark Cards sellout & Story LineI talked past view days to a view gamers as we met for a Twitch Aniversary and good some good indications for the future things here. Those people played over 900 hours of this game (solo), so they have the experience to say what is going on.
First of all, still a lot of hackers are online, nobody gets banned / maybe a view, but you can't do anything against them. Even if you usually play, they could spam you money, and you get banned. That is a big issue in the game, still not fixed. So that leads a lot of people to play Story Modus, which is annoying over time or quit the game. That is a loos in money because Shark Cards are the main income stream of the game after you purchased the game.
Positive for us investors is that the last DLC got some new items in the game which are high priced which leads people to buy Shark Cards. Depending what you want to get you have to invest around $200 to get an Office, Car and some other stuff. If someone plays the game longer, he may have a lot of money or still a bite of the cake so they would have to invest also between $30-$90 which is still pretty good.
In the end, we have people leaving the game, joining again because of the DLC, buy Shark Cards to get faster in the game or on top.
Opportunities:
1. In my opinion, a movie would make a lot of sense or a series. I mean, this is a game people enjoy, love and we have seen the real people like Trevor or Michael in real life. So there would be a chance to get a one-hit wonder again.
2. To continue the story with a paid DLC would also make sense or a second storyline to keep with this characters. It makes a lot of fun to play the story, and maybe it would be nice to get a more extended story, with more heists going on. That would be one of the principal things to continue the game without online gaming & cheaters.
Conclusion: I see a long-term profit opportunity here because for short-term we are moving to slow and we have not enough space to rice to new dimensions.
To get a good hit here, I would say I have to invest around 20-60k to have a good profit by the end of the year.
To much risk, in my opinion, to put that much on it, I would go with 10k which could lead to profit around 1k+.
Not much but maybe we get the space we need, and some new fresh wind will come in for Take-Two
