It's Deep Dive Time!
Today we're looking at @unity3d
Is $U a best-in-class platform for game creators?
Or a trojan horse, building out the technical infrastructure to transform how we interact with multiple industries???

On @patrick_oshag's @InvestLikeBest, @ballmatthew blew my mind 🤯 when he explained that 50% of 9-12 yr olds in the US, CAN, AUS and NZ play Roblox or Minecraft alone.

Then, in @ARKInvest's #BigIdeas2021, they drop some crazy slides about video game monetization. Go @CathieDWood! 
So what is $U?? The “world’s leading platform for creating and operating interactive, real-time 3D content.”
• Account for 71% (!) of the top 1,000 mobile games
• MAU who consumed Unity-made content reached 2.7 billion (!)
• Monthly active creators are 1.5 million +

They break out their business into Create & Operate Solutions.
Create Solutions: customers create games + content
Operate Solutions: customers grow, engage and monetize their user base

Imagine being a game developer, creating one game, and being able to deploy it everywhere that matters: iOS, Android, Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox and more. More than 20 platforms in total. What an astounding value proposition to a creator.
Where is gets really interesting is BEYOND GAMING.

@MPC_Film used Unity on $DIS's recreation of The Lion King. It was shot in real-time, using Unity software integrated w/in physical-film hardware, incl cameras, dollies + cranes.

Of course the valuation is 👎
Also, we're only 5 months from its IPO! I think of this great thread from @FromValue on why NOT to buy into IPOs.

Ultimately, as a gaming company, I am intrigued by $U. Powering creators is certainly of the moment. But what Unity offers is much more.
While the there is obvious short-term trepidation, I can’t help but want to be part of the future!
