Independent. Evidence-based. Capital-aware.
Est. 2010
Independent judgement when decisions become binding.
When capital is about to be committed to game publishing deals, studio investments or major development milestones, we test what stands up under scrutiny.
Digital Advisors is engaged when companies operating in the games industry reach a moment where the risk of getting a decision wrong turns costly and experience matters more than theory.
Often this means moments like deciding whether to sign a publishing deal, raise capital, sell a studio or commit to a major development.
In those moments, we provide independent assessments that help PC and video game studios, publishers and investors understand what can be defended and what breaks when conditions change.
If you are a start-up or early-stage Indie Developer, and are still shaping what to do next, please visit The Games Office.
When We Engage
Digital Advisors is engaged when a decision carries real downside. Our independence is structural: we do not implement projects or participate in the financial outcome of the decisions in reviews.
We operate at the intersection of game investment, publishing agreements, and portfolio strategy. We are brought in when internal reporting no longer stands up to scrutiny and decisions are being judged externally; often during funding rounds, studio acquisitions, or project greenlights.
Most engagements begin with a tightly scoped Game Development Risk Assessment at portfolio or project level. We clarify what risks actually sit behind a decision before new commitments harden and flexibility disappears.
These are not situations for open-ended advisory. They are decision points.

Game Development Risk Assessment
For high-stakes greenlight decisions, publishing deals,
acquisitions or investments.
A focused assessment of a decision before it becomes binding. The aim is not to improve the project, but to quantify the capital exposure if the underlying assumptions fail.
In practice, this means:
-
Stress-testing assumptions under realistic downside scenarios
-
Examining capital exposure and where funding risk concentrates
-
Testing production and delivery assumptions against market and commercial reality
-
Modelling outcomes under conservative and adverse conditions
-
Identifying dependencies that create concentrated portfolio risk
-
Determining what can be defended during investment due diligence
Outcome: a Strategic Risk Memo that makes the exposure explicit before commitments are made. It clarifies what the decision commits the company to over the next 24–36 months.
Delivery timescale: most engagements are completed within 4–8 weeks.
