East Side Games Group Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Vancouver, BC, August 11, 2022 – East Side Games Group Inc. (TSX: EAGR) (OTC: EAGRF) ("ESGG" or the "Company") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has accepted its notice to proceed with a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”).

The Company’s board of directors believes that the market price of the Company’s common shares (the “Shares”), from time to time, may not reflect the inherent value of the Company, and purchases of Shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the Company’s funds. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be made by the Company subject to favourable market conditions at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition through the facilities of the TSX and other alternative Canadian trading systems.

Pursuant to the notice, during the twelve-month period commencing August 16, 2022, and ending August 15, 2023, the Company may purchase up to 4,076,819 of its Shares, representing approximately 5% of its outstanding Shares as of August 2, 2022. Under the NCIB, other than purchases made pursuant to block purchase exemptions, the Company may purchase up to 5,371 Shares on the TSX and other alternative Canadian trading systems during any trading day, which represents approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX for the past six calendar months, being 21,486 shares per day. The Company may cancel any Shares repurchased under the NCIB, or reserve them for awards under its equity compensation plan.

East Side Games Group Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

❇️Q2 revenue of $29.7M, an increase of 32% over the same period last year
❇️Announced Normal Course Issuer Bid for up to 4.1 million shares

Vancouver, BC, August 11, 2022 – East Side Games Group (TSX: EAGR) (OTC: EAGRF)(“ESGG” or the "Company"), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars on an IFRS basis unless otherwise indicated.“Q2 was a solid quarter with 32% growth over the prior year. Total revenue for 2022 to date was $65.3M, up 43% year over year. Excluding one time revenue items in the Q1 quarter, Q2 decreased approximately 15% from Q1 of this year, in line with industry trends. "RuPaul's Drag Race Superstar", The Drag Race Game, which launched on October 25, 2021 and The Office: Somehow We Manage Game which launched in late January of this year in partnership with Universal Games and Digital Platforms continue to perform,” said Jason Bailey, CEO of ESGG. “Our core portfolio of active titles also performed over the quarter. These titles continued to be EBITDA drivers. This foundation is paying for the development of new titles, GameKit R&D, as well as operational cash flow.” Said Mr. Bailey, “Given the slate of titles we intend to launch in the second half of this year and early 2023, including super marquee titles "Star Trek Lower Decks" (Star Trek Lower Decks Game) and "Doctor Who" we expect to lean in and invest heavily into growth which will result in lower near-term EBITDA, but sets us up for a spectacular 2023 and beyond”.

“Today we also announced a share buy-back program as the board of directors and I believe that the market price of the Company’s common shares does not reflect the inherent value of the Company”, said Mr. Bailey.

. YouTube is targeting instead of going head-to-head with Twitch

In 2015, YouTube launched a video game-oriented vertical called YouTube Gaming. This appeared alongside a now-defunct app curating gaming content for viewers, cutting out all of the non-gamer videos.

This vertical would grow to introduce YouTube’s live streaming service which took on the same moniker. Since then, it’s been hard not to draw a comparison between the titan video hosting site YouTube and the king of independent live streaming Twitch.

And these comparisons only became more frequent after YouTube began offering Twitch’s biggest partners lucrative contracts. But headhunting for streamers is only one way YouTube Gaming intends to grow. According to a representative from StreamElements, YouTube caters to a different market of gamers.

The Untapped Opportunity Small Brands Can’t Ignore

After experiencing a significant increase in users at the beginning of (and throughout) the pandemic, the mobile gaming industry continues to boom. Interestingly, users and gameplay time didn’t slow after the pandemic restrictions started to relax. If you're a mobile app developer or a brand hoping to capitalize on the increase in mobile gameplay, here’s a statistic you can’t miss: “Users worldwide downloaded 30% more games in the first quarter of 2021 than in the fourth quarter of 2019, and spent a record-breaking $1.7 billion per week in mobile games in Q1 2021. That figure is up 40% from pre-pandemic levels.”

Mobile gaming is becoming increasingly popular, with an estimated 2.6 billion people playing games on their smartphones in 2020. This popularity is due to a number of factors, including the increasing power and capabilities of smartphones, the wide variety of games available, and the fact that games can be played anywhere at any time.

With the technological advances we’ve seen in recent years, it’s no surprise that people are spending more time on their mobile phones. In fact, a recent study showed that the average person spends over four hours on their phone every day. That’s a lot of time spent staring at a screen, and it’s no wonder that mobile games are becoming more popular. With people spending more time on their phones, they have more time to play games. In addition, mobile games are generally less expensive than console games, which makes them more accessible to a wider audience.
