4. GSD: European PC and Console Market in 2023 - 42% growth for hardware sales; 1,7% for software. PS5 is dominating the market.
5. data.ai: Mobile Gaming Market in 2023 (State of Mobile 2024) - the mobile market declined by absolute numbers, but there is a big impact of China there. Plus, no one can calculate off-store and 3rd-party payments.
🖱Bonus: Video Game Insights: State of the PC games (Steam) market in 2023 - competition intensifies. You as a PC developer compete not only with current releases, but with the full list of older games (which are actively supported).

Некоторые участники сообщества выразили желание поучаствовать в сборе подписей за выдвижение Бориса Надеждина в кандидаты в президенты
Понимая всю условность "выборов" и "кандидата", многие сходятся во мнении, что это полезная протестная активность, не отнимающая значительных ресурсов
В итоге, силами самих же участников и активистов на Кипре организуются точки сбора подписей в нескольких локациях
Внимательно изучите расписание и местоположение, берите внутренний паспорт рф с действующей пропиской и приходите оставить подпись
Необходимо заранее самостоятельно распечатать бланк сбора для региона своей прописки
По инструкции сборщик должен проконтролировать правильность заполнения бланка и сверить данные с оригиналом паспорта рф, поэтому, например, нельзя просто принести заполненный бланк
Вот тут https://nadezhdin2024.ru/addresses можно примерно оценить, для каких регионов сбор наиболее актуален

Привет всем!
За Надеждина конец начали собирать подписи на Кипре.
Кто это?
Не важно кто это, важно что он единственный баллотируется с антивоенной позицией.
Зачем, он все равно не победит?
Да, не победит, но кажется важным реализовать свое прово, выразить мнение. Действие лучше бездействия.
Нужны подписи от тех, у кого в национальном паспорте региональная прописка (столицы не нужны).

🟣 Hello, GDCy People! 🟣
As we launch into 2024 and prepare to meet this Friday at our very first GDCy event of the year, we're thrilled to announce an exciting new initiative for 2024 — the GDCy GAME ZONE!
We're passionate about video games, not just in creating them but also playing them, and we know many of you share this passion. That's why it was decided to bring gaming closer to our community. We want to provide our members, their families, and friends with exclusive access to fully equipped gaming zones at various venues across Cyprus.
➡️Our first pilot project has already launched at Gerrard’s Kitchen & Bar. In the far corner of the bar, you'll find a brand new XBOX, two gamepads, and full access to XBOX GamePass. All you need to do is show your GDCy ID to the staff, and you'll have UNLIMITED ACCESS to our gaming station!
PS. This is just the beginning! We have plans to create more GAME ZONES in different venues around the island. If you're a venue owner or simply want to support our initiative and collaborate on a co-branded gaming zone with GDCy and your brand, feel free to PM Tim to discuss the details!
WE MAKE GAMES — WE PLAY GAMES!
