Transgaming begins NOW........

The month of Sept, 2015. They've cut expenses by $1 mill. a year but they were never going to be able to cut them enough to become profitable under their prior market strategy. I think that strategy was to offer new games with the hope that they would be popular enough to bring in enough revenues to more than offset their acquisition costs, which is risky and difficult to accomplish. Their new strategy is to offer a bunch of games that have proved popular but not necessarily new. They've teamed up with Smart TV and set-top box providers to get these games out to as many possible users as they can. To make sure these games work efficiently they've partnered with NVIDIA to get that company's cloud gaming technology and also with ActiveVideo to gain access to more outlets for the games. Their GameTree TV GOLD subscription based service begins THIS month and apparently they will now have more data available from their MSO's so that they will be able to monitor and adjust this service. They will then be able to add new things like Social Casino and others while withdrawing less successful games. They believe that they can become a "profitable company" by the end of fiscal 2016 (May 31st of next year). I'm an old guy and I like the idea of getting down to BASICS and then building from there which I think is now happening with TNG. As far as them not having any money. They have about $2 million in CASH now and NO debt. As far as whether this new model will work is anybody's guess and that's why the risk reward is so high for TSX-V stocks. I think it has a good shot and if it does we could do alright as shareholders. Also, they plan on selling Swiftshader and that could help the balance sheet even more. Bob

Bob,  Very good resume of the TNG situation.  The turnaround of TNG since Dennis became CEO  now officially) as been more than interesting.  Too bad there were no questions to them at the conference call yesterday. There are more positives coming in the next few months including the sale of swiftshader which should bring more cash. Also, he has reduced  expences very ...more

whippet, thankyou for your kind comments. I've only been in TNG for about 7 months now and most of the posters on this thread haven't thrilled me much so I didn't really pay attention to who was whom here. Seeing you actually SAYING something caught my attention and I went back and read some of your previous stuff. First thing I noticed was that you and I both joined stockhouse in 1999 ...more

Very nice of you to say so.  But i'm not the Guru here.  I just try to read between the line and understand were i feel we are going.  i know many people read these posts to get a feeling on what's happening. i also know many are frustrated with this company. They should then sell their stock and move on. I know TNG is now in a much better financial situation, that we have ...more
