Equity investments

On August 9, 2021, the Company acquired a 14.4% stake in Gameradar (Hainan) Technology Co., Ltd.(“Gameradar”). The Company classified the investment as an equity investment, rather than investment in associate because the Company did not have the power to participate in financial and operating policy decisions of Gameradar. The Company designated the investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI") because it represents investment that the Company intends to hold long term for strategic purposes.

The Company’s investment in Gameradar totaled a fair value of €2.7 million and €2.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was categorized as Level 3 (see Note 26). This was because the shares were not listed on an exchange and there were no recent observable arm’s length transactions in the shares.

Management classified the investment as an equity investment, rather than investment in associate because the Company did not have significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions. The Company designated the investment at FVOCI because it represents an investment that the Company intends to hold long term for strategic purposes.

The Company’s investment totaled a fair value of €3.6 million as at December 31, 2023. The fair value of this investment was categorized as Level 3 as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 26).
