Ozan Aydemir: “The Era of Uncontrolled Expansion Is Over; The Era of Mastery Has Begun”

Our CEO, Ozan Aydemir, evaluates the new phase of the global gaming market with the following remarks:

“In the story of the global gaming market, the period of uncontrolled rapid expansion is over; now the era of deepening and mastery has begun. Growth is no longer driven solely by acquiring new players; it is measured by how strongly existing players remain connected to our worlds and how effectively communities are managed. While infrastructure in Turkey continues to strengthen and reaching players is technically easier than ever, the competition to capture their time and attention has never been more intense.”

Based on our observations, the entrepreneurship and investment climate is evolving into a more selective and “smart” structure. Our Gaming Snapshot outputs, based on Startups.watch investment data, indicate that despite the cautious course of investment rounds in 2025, exits continued and Turkey maintained its potential.

In addition, according to BTK data, the increase in fiber access and broadband has a direct impact on the gaming experience. Gaming is no longer merely content; it has become a holistic “experience package” delivered through the combination of access, service, and community.
