Dead West

What is Dead West?

“We still have people who loved the coding part – solving problems with code and writing beautiful code. They’re struggling with the change. For some people an important part of their work that they genuinely loved is now gone.”

There are also strategic questions around dependence on AI providers.

Cubeia is currently heavily reliant on Claude, and Grenstad questions what could happen if AI providers raise prices or if quality changes. For now, however, Grenstad sees the uncertainty as something Cubeia can learn to manage.

How to play Dead West

As Merkur’s acquisition of Casigrangi would grant indirect control over SFC, French regulations require Merkur to launch a simplified mandatory tender offer for the remaining SFC shares it does not already hold. 

This tender offer will be at the same price of €6.19 per share.

If successful, Merkur intends to pursue a squeeze-out process, compelling minority shareholders to sell their shares, and subsequently delist SFC from Euronext Paris. 

About Dead West

“We are as quick as crash games, but the pattern and the feel are more like betting”

The company currently has 10 games spanning themes such as football and cars, with content deliberately based around subjects already attracting attention on social media.

That familiarity is important. Swipe Games is not asking social-media users to learn an entirely new digital language when they arrive at a casino. Its proposition is that the behaviour they already perform almost instinctively – watch, decide, swipe, repeat – can become the gaming mechanic itself.
