If you have a question on the business of video games we will likely know how to get the answer!

Generally the product page will indicate the latest “official” version of a report.  However, DFC Intelligence specializes in “living research.”  Our forecasts and analysis are constantly being tweaked to account for current events.  When a customer orders a report we always make sure to send any relevant updates.  Also when a report is updated we will send the update to all clients that have ordered in the past six months.   Our goal is to go above and beyond to ensure repeat business.

DFC Intelligence has been operating within the video game segment since the 1990s. We have made a name for ourselves as providing forecasts and analysis that support strategic planning and marketing initiatives over that of Marcom functions that like to influence markets by overstating the size, opportunities and potential of a company with assistance from “pay to play” firms. Out forecasts are often in line with what actually happens which provides our clients with a sense to confidence in purchasing from us.

We leverage our in-depth knowledge of the video game industry and the years of experience and industry connections that we have developed. DFC is strictly focused on the video game space and not as a plug in to other research offerings or part of the factory approaches that have appeared over the years with offshore companies employing generalists to pump out reports via web scraping and generic templates.

DFC specializes in taking massive amounts of data from multiple sources and identifying key trends and providing actionable insights.  As a research company, DFC Intelligence has been on the forefront of data collection and analysis since the 1990s.  We have pioneered the usage of data mining and AI tools to collect and analyze disparate data sources.

In a world cluttered with information, much of it misinformation, DFC cuts through the crap to focus on reality.

DFC Intelligence focuses on providing high-quality insights and forecasts at a reasonable price.  The goal is to provide clients with products they can leverage to educate not only themselves but partners, clients, and investors.

Definitely!  The DFC Intelligence database goes far beyond what can be listed on the site.  If you have a question on the video game industry chances are DFC will have the answer.  Not only do we have access to our internal experts but DFC has contacts with experts in specific areas.  If we do not know the answer we are probably able to point you towards someone that does.

Many of our clients follow the video game space on a regular basis and prefer to have an ongoing subscription to get the latest data.  However, most customers start with a single report purchase to make sure it is a right fit.  For customers buying a report(s), DFC credits the price of their purchase towards a larger research package or subscription if done within 90 days.

DFC Intelligence has specialized in tracking individual game sales and usage since the 1990s when we partnered with the NPD Group to provide reports on retail sales of video games. In the early 21st century we pioneered the usage of PC game trackers for monitoring the usage of individual games. This later expanded to track mobile games and game console services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live/Game Pass. However, as the market for tracking games has become crowded and unreliable, DFC no longer offers off-the-shelf game tracking services. However, we still monitor games down to the individual level and specialize in custom consulting, especially for product planning purposes. We also have access to our game tracking that goes back to 2005 and is available on a custom project basis.

Investors are important clients for DFC Intelligence and we regularly hold investor calls and do custom consulting.  However, DFC does not provide confidential information that is not generally available to the public. DFC Intelligence reports are based on our analysis of public information.  Our analysts are trained in complying with SEC and international laws regarding inside information.  DFC cannot provide any data or information that violates the law.
