The better question is will YC or VCs ever invest in gaming startups again and the answer (at least for YC) is most likely no. There are a few VCs that do specialize in gaming though.
- DanBC 11y agoDo you speak for YC? Where do you get that information?
- onewaystreet 11y agoJust my opinion. Look at the last three batches or so of YC startups. The type of companies YC invests in today are the furthest things away from gaming.
- tlb 11y agoYC is open to funding gaming startups if there's some reason to believe they could have a long-term sustainable advantage. With so much time spent gaming, there are surely more great new businesses to be built. I'm most optimistic about game engines, gaming hardware, and esports streaming and news. Or some new business model I haven't heard of yet. (I'm a YC partner)
