Live Gamer is pleased to support DFC’s 2nd annual Global Game Industry Forum June 6th at E3. Core sponsors include DFC Intelligence, Intel, the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) and Zebra Partners. DFC focused this year’s forum on trends among core gamers and will present overall forecasts of the game industry segmented by console, PC and mobile platforms.

The DFC team notes that while there has been a cyclical decline in the console business, gamers are more active than ever as the growth of PC and mobile games continues to soar. Research shows the microtransactions business model continues to expand across platforms, including console gaming, due to its success in social gaming and free-to-play MMOs.

The event features a panel discussion led by Perrin Kaplan of Zebra partners, as well as discussion of the research results by DFC, Live Gamer’s Andy Scarborough and Xfire representatives.
