Cyber Sail Consulting :

Prague, Czech Republic – August 21, 2024 – Cyber Sail Consulting, a boutique video game consultancy specializing in a unique range of services to publishers, investors and developers of premium video games, announced today a robust expansion of their business designed to organically grow its operations. Yo-ho-ho!
 
Is gaming industry little “groggy”? We always see the glass half full! But we (as industry) certainly experience difficult times and in this case it is great to have someone who can steer the ship right way! Trusty partner in (rusty?) Sea of Gaming Industry! That's Cyber Sail Consulting!
 
Why is consulting in gaming so important these days? There was a significant increase in investments during COVID, but it was like a gold rush. A few found a lot of nuggets, but many did not. Due to a lack of necessary expertise, the current market is overwhelmed by low-quality titles. This leads to limited budgets and smaller evaluation teams for publishers in general. Therefore, the need for additional valuation and expertise is even more important.
 
Highly respected within the industry, Cyber Sail Consulting was founded by Vladimír Geršl, an experienced industry sailor (well, veteran) previously serving at such companies as Activision, Sony, and Plaion. With over two decades of experience in executive roles, Vladimír brings a wealth of knowledge to the business which boasts an impressive team of senior experts, excelling in key departments of Game production, Direction, Art, Legal, and Operations.
 
Surrounded by 12 industry veterans, Vladimír Geršl and Cyber Sail Consulting are currently cooperating with more than 100 companies (publishers and investors), helping with current portfolios, operations, analysis, and predictions.
 
Cyber Sail Consulting represents more than 40 developer studios, ranging from Indie to AAA, with game budgets from 0.1 to 35 million euros and release dates from 2024 to 2028.
