据VentureBeat的调查数据显示，本年度91家游戏公司总计获得的集资金额破纪录地达到了10亿5000万美元，这一数字同比去年增长了58%。此前，2009年115家游戏公司总计筹得投资金额为6亿6310万美元，2008年112家游戏公司则是9亿3680万美元，由此可见，前两年的游戏市场集资情况并没有太大变化。

几年前，由于大部分公司开发的游戏很难一举成名，因此许多投资商普遍不看好投资游戏市场。近年来随着Facebook等社交网站上社交游戏的日益兴盛，投资商们纷纷将目光投向了社交游戏领域。

据游戏邦了解，现在很多主流投资公司如Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Andreessen Horowitz等都开始投资游戏公司。另外，Providence Private Equity Partners和Temasek Holdings等私人资产公司也加入了这一行列。在此，被誉为“投资界迈克·乔丹”的John Doerr也表示向Zynga的投资是自己做出的最英明决策。

现在，手机游戏的潮流同样来势汹汹。Rovio公司的《愤怒的小鸟》成为iPhone手机平台最热门的游戏，虽然还不足以与《使命召唤》等大型游戏相媲美，但其5000万的下载量仍然令人惊叹。在社交游戏和手机游戏领域中，各大游戏开发商普遍采用了一种“免费游戏，购物付费”的商业模式，玩家可以在享受游戏之后，自由选择是否成为付费玩家。

现在，社交游戏领域逐渐走向饱和，大部分投资公司很难再找到像Zynga那么有潜力的新兴公司。然而前段时间迪士尼公司以7亿6320万美元收购Playdom和DeNa以4亿300万美元收购Ngmoco的事例再次激励着投资公司和新兴公司进军社交游戏领域的热情。

在投资公司的赞助下，社交游戏公司可以更好地开发游戏创意，聘请业内经验丰富的员工。虽然不是所有公司都可以取得成功，但一旦成功无疑将会打开更多的机遇。

Game fundings broke a record this year as 91 companies raised more than $1.05 billion in 2010. That number is up 58 percent from a year ago, based on VentureBeat’s own research.

We found that 115 game companies raised a total of $663.1 million in 2009. And in 2008, 112 game companies raised $936.8 million. That means that venture capital funding for games has never been bigger.

That’s a big change from years ago, when venture capitalists were afraid to invest in games because they were a lot like Hollywood movies, where it was too hard to pick the hits. But the big trend that continues to drive the investments is the theme of disruption. The traditional game business is being disrupted by the popularity of social games on social networks like Facebook.

Major VC firms such as Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Andreessen Horowitz, and others all put their money behind game companies this year. Private equity firms such as Providence Private Equity Partners and Temasek Holdings also dove into the biggest deals. John Doerr (pictured right) of Kleiner Perkins, the “Michael Jordan of venture capital,” even said that his company’s investment in Zynga was its best ever.

Mobile gaming is coming into its own as a major platform for games. With Rovio’s Angry Birds, the iPhone has now had its first major mega-hit. It’s still not anywhere near as big as Call of Duty Black Ops, the blockbuster combat game that generated $1 billion in six weeks. But the numbers of downloads — more than 50 million to date — is becoming impressive.

And digital distribution is disrupting traditional game retailers as new players come in with Netflix-style businesses. New business models such as virtual goods are also giving users the option of playing for free until they find something in a game that they want to purchase.

In each of these categories, there are now entrenched leaders. Zynga’s $150 million raise from SoftBank builds on its $180 million in venture capital raised last year. It will be hard to fund social game startups that can compete effectively with Zynga. But companies are still trying.

Investors and startups alike are no doubt inspired by the big transactions that have taken place, such as Disney’s $763.2 million purchase of Playdom and DeNA’s $403 million purchase of Ngmoco (the Ngmoco celebration is pictured above). Those prices are fueling a Gold Rush mentality.

We’ve chronicled the Gold Rush religiously ourselves but have also pulled data for these fundings from the internet at large, the EngageDigital site, and the National Venture Capital Association.

These fundings mean lots of innovation ahead and continued employment for game industry veterans. As we noted before, not all of these companies will last. But the successful ones will create revenues, profits and jobs in the years ahead.

We’ve ranked them here in order of the amount of money raised, and I’ve linked to our coverage. Fundings where the amounts weren’t made public are listed at the end. If you’ve heard of others, please note in the comments and we’ll add them to the list. The list includes companies that raised funds in prior years but disclosed for the first time in 2010. It’s likely that some companies from last year’s list or this year’s have gone out of business. If so, let us know in the comments.

Once again, we acknowledge our method is imperfect. As was the case last year, we have lots of deals where we don’t know the exact amount raised (we have listed them alphabetically at the end). We know that Mentez raised a substantial round, but the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, and so it is not included in our figure for 2010. And one of the big mysteries was the rumor that Google had invested $100 – $200 million in Zynga; but the two companies never announced the deal, leading some to believe that it wasn’t finalized. We expect that we’ll be revising the list upward in the coming weeks as we add more deals that we didn’t know about.
