Here’s a few words from Richard Brown, Acting CEO of GiG:

“The decision to halt in-house content production is a strategic choice to facilitate full focus and resources on becoming the platform of choice for the online gaming industry.

“This forms part of recent strategic initiatives taken to reduce non-marketing related operational costs, together with our commitment to execution and bottom-line earnings.”

A couple of weeks ago, on the 5^th of September, GiG announced a change of CEO. Robin Reed vacated his position with COO Richard Brown coming into the role. Back then, here’s what he said:

“The company now enters into the next phase of its development with different challenges and opportunities and the board has reached the conclusion GiG therefore also needs a different leadership.”

The move comes after a difficult Q2 for GiG, which saw the supplier’s revenue fall 16% year-on-year to €31m, with a net loss of €9M, up 152%.
