Our Partner, Adarsh Somani shares his insight in Deccan Herald, “Online gaming: 1 lakh jobs in limbo after supreme Court ruling.”
He highlights that for several companies, the consequence is stark: potential tax outflows that may well exceed the topline revenues they have ever generated. Even for those capable of surviving the financial shock, they will be forced to rediscover actual gaming instead of financialised dopamine loops built around deposits and churn – but the question is, will the gamer still be interested? The companies that survive may not necessarily be the ones with the biggest user base today, but the ones that can psychologically detach gaming from gambling economics and rebuild around community, skill, IP, entertainment and retention rather than merely cash circulation.
