M&A and Investments Landscape in 2021

" summary

Claims that 2020 sees $21.2B in deals and that many acquisitions close entirely over Zoom, with cultural fit judged remotely, set the frame; due diligence splits into legal / financial / commercial (development, technical, marketing) and on‑boarding is “light touch” integration focused on connecting teams not changing day‑to‑day work. Holdings like Embracer do scale consolidation—23 deals (Embracer) last year—talent is the primary asset, hyper‑casual and mobile UA/monetization expertise sell, and AI-assisted diligence and cross‑platform play are likely growth areas.
