Thinking about investing in the gaming industry? Here is an idea...

2023-05-02T12:02:00.003-07:00

As the gaming industry races towards the $100 billion mark, more and more investors are considering a thematic investment in this booming sector. With practices such as casual gaming, online tournaments and eSports becoming increasingly popular, this sector could continue to grow at an exponential rate. InTheGame CopyPortfolios gives you the opportunity to invest in this sector as a whole.

Get a sneak peek on how the gaming industry has evolved from niche to mainstream, and how you can enjoy its combined growth with one click:

Over the past few decades, the gaming industry went from being a $400 million market, occupied mainly by hardcore gamers, to a $99 billion beast that has everyone playing. Revenue sources for the industry have not only increased, but they have also become a lot more diverse, including in-game advertising, downloadable content purchasing and eSports sponsorship to name a few.Thematic investment in the gaming industry made easyWhen eToro launched CopyPortfolioslast year, they aimed to create an investment instrument that would suit the needs of long-term investors. Since CopyPortfolios are managed by the eToro Investment Committee, investors can rest assured knowing that professionals are working to serve their long-term investment needs. One of the main advantages of these new investment products is that they enable us to provide our clients with thematic investment opportunities in various market sectors.Instead of selecting individual stocks and composing a gaming-based portfolio on your own, InTheGame offers wide exposure to the industry, in one instrument that you can invest in with a click of a button. The CopyPortfolios contains some of the heavy-hitters of the industry and is optimised periodically to ensure maximum efficiency. Moreover, unlike other investment instruments, CopyPortfolios have no management fees.Methodology

The eToro Investment Committee selects the stocks within the industry that show the most promise as a long-term investment. The weight of each stock within the CopyPortfolios is allocated based on market cap. The CopyPortfolios is rebalanced at least once a year, but the Committee might rebalance it from time to time to add or remove stocks in the portfolio.

Components

InTheGame is designed to provide industry-wide exposure to the gaming industry. Stocks within the fund include well-known brands, such as Sony, NVIDIA and Nintendo.

The InTheGame CopyPortfolios contains some of the world’s leading gaming brands, such as:

NVIDIA – One of the leading CPU and GPU manufacturers in the world. NVIDIA processors can be found in high-end gaming computers, gaming consoles, smartphones and many other computers that require significant processing power.
Nintendo – Perhaps the most recognisable gaming brand in the world, Nintendo has been around for over a century and brought forth pop culture icons such as Mario and Pokemon.
Activision – The largest game publisher in the US, Activision has been part of the industry since the 1970s. With licensing rights to blockbuster franchises such as Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot and Transformers, Activision is constantly creating new games which bring in billions every year.
EA – Electronic Arts is another prominent game publisher, known for its popular sports simulators, such as FIFA and other successful franchises such as The Sims and Battlefield.

Stay in the game

The gaming market could still expand further. On top of the growth seen in recent years in casual and hardcore gaming, eSports are growing into a league of their own, with top gamers getting paid as well as other professional athletes. But it won’t end there. Virtual reality and augmented reality are expected to become more widespread in the next few years, adding another dimension to the gaming industry and creating exciting new investment opportunities. With so much room to grow and endless new possibilities for this market, the InTheGame CopyPortfolios could be the perfect solution for those looking for a thematic investment in the booming gaming industry.

GM Changes

2017-09-07T11:41:00.001-07:00

Dear Shaiyans,

It's time to inform you about the latest changes in the GM team. We figured out that our system with one Main Game Master per game and some Community Game Masters to assist the main Game Master is good, but still offered room for improvement.

We decided to assign the Community Game Masters to one game only, so they can focus on only one community. It took some time to settle, but right now we are on a good way.

Here is how things are going to work from now on on Shaiya:

Don’t be worried, if you didn’t see some GMs yet. They will shortly be introduced to our Discord Servers!

We hope you are as excited about this update as we are!

SYUS Services: Max OJ stat exchange and Item Faction Transfer

2016-12-05T13:36:00.001-08:00

Today we'd like to give you an update on two services:

1. Max OJ services and exchanging stats:

We are aware that several players recently requested Max OJ exchange on items that were already maxed, and these requests were left denied.

As a sanity check, we went through old Shaiya US Max OJ forms and forum posts (GMRender and GMLeo) explaining Max OJ rules and we have found nothing there that would define, black on white, that such a stat exchange on a maxed item/stat is possible. On the other hand, they mention that "They can ONLY increase an existing stat or replace an existing stat!" which is quite vague and could be misinterpreted. It's our opinion that this might've been the cause of such a service being granted to player, first as a mistake caused by such misinterpretation, and afterwards, reinforcing this mistake. The way we see it, such exchange contradicts the rules from sources mentioned above, and we'd actually like to apologize for this.

Therefore, to officially clear the matter up, regardless of any previous messages that you might have received (a GM message in a certain ticket, unfortunately being a result of internal miscommunication, and we'd like to apologize for the confusion), at this point we can't honor any exchanges of one maxed GM stat (maxed with a GM service) into another one.

Still, while this is something that we can't change at this point, we're not dismissing it at all! On the contrary, we see merit in this and we'll definitely be looking into implementing this option. Stay tuned!

2. Item Faction Change
There was recently an update regarding this service, excluding non faction-related vanity items from this service. This change was revoked, and below you'll find all the changes (copied from the service description in the webmall - so much easier this way).

1. This service will allow for transferring all permanent vanity (pets, mounts, costumes, Title of Throne) items. Please keep the following in mind:

All faction-based items (like mounts) will of course be changed into UoF equivalents.
Wings will not be transferred directly. In exchange, we will be offering a set of three feathers needed to create wings.
All items that carry OJs will have their OJs transferred in the same form.
Limited time items are not transferrable

This rule applies retroactively, i.e. will apply to all requests that were sent before the 5th of December.

2 - Players have now 30 days (starting from the moment of us performing the Faction Change service) to purchase (or be gifted) an Item Faction Transfer service and send requests for all of the items they want transferred. After 30 days, we will not be performing these service anymore for a given account.

With this in mind, we kindly ask the person sending the form to keep the placeholder (Troll of Tear C2) in their Banks until the service is done, and making sure they're giving the correct item names.

Here's the link to the service description itself:

http://shaiya.aeriagames.com/itemmall/item/569557/faction-change-items

We'd like to wish you a great week!

Your Shaiya Team

Faction Change GM Service - updated rules

2016-08-01T13:05:00.002-07:00

We would like to inform you of a change in how the Faction Change service is going to be processed.

The mentioned change is as follows:

To transfer a character from Light to Fury, you need to create a new, Fury character in a different channel (either empty or with other Fury characters - otherwise you won't be able to create a Fury character there).

This way, if you want to keep using Light items on the same channel, you will be able to! On the other hand, if you decide to transfer items, you will still be able to (please note that this service converts and moves an item - it doesn't make a duplicate on the opposite faction).

To read full rules of the Faction Change service, please click here.

Yours sincerely,

Your Shaiya Team

About Shaiya Korea closure

2016-06-07T05:48:00.000-07:00

Dear Shaiyans,

Since some of you have already heard about it, we would like to officially confirm that Shaiya's Korean servers have indeed been closed since the 12th of May 2016.

This won't, however, affect the versions published by Aeria Games, which means the SYWE, SYUS, SYES, and SYPT servers won't close anytime soon.

We currently don't have a lot of updates on our side but we should be able to give you more details in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Your Shaiya Team
