Key aspects of M&A in the video games sector

The video games industry has established itself as an economically important sector both nationally and internationally. In Spain, the annual turnover of this sector already exceeds 1.7 billion euros; and the industry shows year-on-year growth of almost 20%; moreover, the industry has more than 650 developers.
