How does someone invest in the development of a game? Where can legitimate investment opportunities be found? If a development cycle takes tens of millions of dollars, what is the buy in? $1 miilion...10 million? |

That depends on the company. If the company is publicly traded then just go to a broker and purchase stock. If the company is private just call the company and ask if there are investment opportunities. |

I imagine most companies go to venture capitalists (VCs) to invest in their firm/project. My best guess is that they usually attempt to sell a certain percentage of their company for a cash investment of $X million (my understanding is that the VCs have more bargaining power mind you) and hope they get a good deal whereby the VCs don't have a controlling stake in the firm and attempt to assert overbearing control as to the direction and workings of the firm or project and that they don't run out of cash and therefore have to go to more VCs for more cash and thereby give up further control of their company. |
