Latin America gets Hentai Game Portal Investment
Never underestimate the potent combination of human creativity and porn. The booming NSFW game industry is a testament to what creators can achieve while thinking with their genitals.
Nutaku, a global porn game portal, is counting on that creativity with its latest $13 million investment into Latin America. The 8-figure investment fund will go toward fully financing the development of adult versions of existing games, as well as the development of new adult titles.
In a time where less than 1% of apps and 5% of games are financially successful, Nutaku is dedicated to funding games that did not get a chance to succeed through the traditional gaming marketplace, with a goal of democratizing the industry,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “The new investment portfolio aims to expand the adult gaming industry by working with open-minded developers to produce ‘not safe for work’ versions of their games.”
Nutaku is a Canadian hentai game portal that receives more than 25 million North American customers a month. That makes it the most visited English-language adult gaming website in existence. That audience has given them the capital to invest right back into production.
“The expansion of our investment portfolio into Latin America is an incredibly exciting time for Nutaku as we have the opportunity to empower an entirely underutilized pool of talent,” said Nutaku President Mark Antoon. “Traditionally, studios and developers within this region face incredible obstacles while trying to bring their gaming titles to market.”
Despite these difficulties, the Latin American video game market is booming. In 2016, the region generated $4.1 billion in game revenues. Why? As Latin America's internet speeds pick up the pace, an enormous influx of gamers and game creators are entering the scene. According to Newzoo, a market intelligence company, Latin America has been experiencing 60% year-on-year growth for the mobile market, the largest of any region—a number that is having a huge effect on mobile gaming.
There’s no better way to tap into Latin America’s growing video game base than with homegrown video games, and that’s Nutaku’s reasoning, too. And if there’s already a market for general video games, one can only imagine what the porn game audience is like.
“Nutaku aims to be a catalyst for adult game development as we continue to rapidly grow our presence as the leading adult gaming portal in the western hemisphere,” said Antoon. “Part of that responsibility is ensuring equal and fair access to the market while bringing new talent, perspectives, and diversity that can only benefit our users’ experience.”
