What do you think is reasonable?
The video game industry market cap is around 17e9 USD2015[0]. Unity accounts for ~9% of the value. I'm not sure if it's an accurate valuation but it doesn't seem to be a ridiculous percentage given where they are in the production food chain.

- Keyframe 10y agoI didn't realise game engine is 100% of budget of a game? More like 1% (even on small scale). That would put their ideal sales around 15 million, pre tax and expenses per year. That's a long way from $1.5B valuation, even in most optimistic scenarios.
- reitzensteinm 10y ago150 million.
- Keyframe 10y ago9 percent of 17 billion is 1.53 billion of which 1% is 15.3 million. Unless people are spending 10% of their revenue on engine, which is absurd.
- kamilner 10y agoThat seems odd, Electronic Arts alone has a market cap of ~23.5B: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/EA/key-statistics?ltr=1 https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/EA/key-statistics?ltr=1
- xigency 10y agoWhat's odd to me is that Epic Games is majority owned by Tim Sweeney, who has a < $1 billion net worth, and in serious and performance sensitive (VR) applications, UE4 is very difficult contention for Unity. Other than that, I've really lost track of the values of other game companies, other than knowing that EA and Ubisoft want to eat the sun.
- xigency 10y agoMaybe around $500 million for the valuation, and I'm not sure what they need that much capital for ($181 million).
