The greatest effect on the increase in operating profits was due to revenues from the sale of games in the digital distribution model via dedicated platforms: Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Store and Steam.

The year 2020 was dedicated to checking the implemented business model (proof of concept). RedDeerGames maintains and develops affiliate programs with Microsoft (Xbox One), Nintendo Switch, STEAM, and Apple. Billing systems and digital distribution of games, as well as their operation on individual platforms, were tested.

RedDeerGames is developing as planned, although it should be emphasized that the slowdown caused by restrictions related to COVID-19 affected temporary delays in the implementation of the adopted work schedule and game production. Despite the special conditions, the company managed to use the past year to acquire new competencies and acquire very valuable industry know-how, thanks to which it consistently implemented the assumptions of the adopted strategy, including work on original productions as well as acquiring new titles for *porting. Cooperation with industry partners focused on the computer games market is also being developed in the field of barter (and not only) distribution and promotion of own products.

- We are constantly focusing on maintaining a relatively stable level of revenues while controlling costs. All these activities were undoubtedly reflected in positive financial results for the previous financial year. As a team, we have set ourselves very ambitious goals for the development of the company and we will present them at the time of going public. Today the most important of them is building an ambitious and professional team to which we invite talents from the Polish and international gaming sector - adds Michał M. Lisiecki, CEO and co-founder of RedDeerGames sp. z o.o.

*Porting - a service of transferring (implementing) games between individual hardware platforms, is an additional source that increases the margin on the published titles.
