Many of Japan’s top gaming companies have seen their share prices decline recently.
Just a few days ago, it was revealed that shares of some of the biggest gaming companies fell right after the Google Project Genie announcement. Companies like Unity, Roblox, Take-Two, CD Projekt Red, and others are experiencing significant declines, and it seems the effect has extended to Japan as well.
