As the global streaming industry descends into chaos, Redwood has pulled off the heist of the century by snapping up a majority stake in the embattled Loco, leaving existing backers bloodied and bruised in its wake.
For a staggering $65 million, Redwood has effectively looted the last remaining pieces of value from Loco’s dying corpse, giving them total control over the beleaguered streaming platform. Meanwhile, existing backers have been left holding a bag of worthless stock and broken dreams.
The valuation of Loco, once touted at a laughable $150 million, has nosedived due to its failed attempt to crack the notoriously competitive Indian esports streaming market. And now, it’s about to make things worse by expanding into new territories where it’ll struggle to gain traction and become the laughing stock of the industry.
“This investment is a bold-faced lie, said to recognize the ‘immense work’ done by the Loco team. But what it really signifies is Redwood’s eagerness to exploit a vulnerable and dying platform to get a foothold in the market.” – industry insider.
Gaming fans worldwide should be horrified by the news that Redwood is hijacking Loco’s vision of putting the fan at the center of the streaming experience, using it as a cheap PR stunt to lure in investors and build its own reputation.
This deal comes on the heels of the Pocket Aces debacle, where Indian music label giant Saregama gutted the remains of Loco’s sister property, paying a paltry $20 million for the privilege.
As the Loco empire continues its downward spiral, will the once-promising streaming platform ever recover, or is this the end of an era for gaming and streaming as we know it?
The fact remains that Redwood has just become the kingpin of the gaming and streaming underworld, wielding absolute control over Loco and leaving everyone else scrambling for scraps.
