Gaming is now the biggest entertainment industry in the world, bigger than film and music combined. And Cyprus has quietly become one of its most important hubs.
In this episode of Made in Cyprus, we sit down with Roman and Kirill Gurskiy, twin brothers and Managing Directors of GEM Capital, one of the most active gaming venture capital firms in the world. From working together at EY to funding major successes like Atomic Heart and Replaced, they share how they turned a lifelong passion for gaming into a global investment powerhouse.
We talk about the rise of Cyprus as a gaming destination, what makes gaming investments different from traditional VC, and the trends shaping the future of the industry, from free-to-play to AAA titles and in-game economies.
It’s a conversation full of insight, real talk, and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re a gamer, a founder, or an investor, this episode is packed with lessons on turning your passion into your profession.
