Community Villa merges with Fantasyexpo, an agency owned by GTEM SA, the publisher of iconic Polish videogames and software magazines CD-Action and PC Format.
Community Villa is one of the leading agencies in the gaming industry around the world and one of the few companies that focuses on direct action in gaming communities. It builds communities of players for new titles from scratch, using a number of promotional activities in multiple channels and is responsible for all communication on the player-developer / player-publisher line. The company started the conquest of the gaming market in April 2016 — since then, it has worked on over a hundred projects with developers and publishers from all around the world. The extensive portfolio of Community Villa includes activities for games such as SUPERHOT, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, RUINER, The Universim, Gloomhaven, Dying Light: Bad Blood, Fishing Clash and Ghostrunner.
Merging companies means improving the quality and broadening the scope of offered services. Community Villa, together with the support of Fantasyexpo, are planning a global expansion to comprehensively support game developers and publishers (both PC and console and mobile) on every continent, both in the promotion process leading to increased sales of games and in the area of communication with players and strengthening relationships with them.
Adrian Palma, the founder of Community Villa, has been involved in gaming from the beginning of his career. He worked as an editor for leading gaming portals, gained experience as a community manager in a number of gamedev studios as well as worked in the marketing department at Google. The idea to bring Community Villa to life was inspired by the reflection that what distinguishes the most commercially successful games in the overcrowded and demanding gaming market is… the gaming community. Numerous great productions get lost in the flood of new games precisely because of the lack of a fan community around them.
Every good game deserves to reach its audience base — this is the keynote of Community Villa activities. So far, we have been able to help a huge number of developers and publishers in Poland; now is the time to help companies from outside our country on a larger scale. We are ready to support promising games globally and we look forward to delivering results to game developers around the world, says Adrian Palma, founder of Community Villa.
The merge will also benefit Fantasyexpo, which will further expand the offer and communication possibilities in the area of gaming, both for its own esports and gaming initiatives, as well as for brands that are looking for new alternatives and communication opportunities in the gaming space.

Getting ready for Xmas: SplitMetrics partnership with Wargaming helps World of Warships app sail to new heights with 15% uplift in organic conversions

Nolimit City takes you back to the grind with its latest release, Outsourced: Slash Game. For those who thought their consumerist cravings were a safe indulgence, think again. Following in the footsteps of Outsourced, this new addition pulls back the curtain on the sweat and sacrifice lurking behind those everyday luxuries—this time with a dash of danger. Outsourced: Slash Game is the studio’s second venture into crash-style gameplay, the first being xCrash™ in Skate or Die – but this time it’s a standalone crash game!
In Slash Game, players have to make some cutthroat decisions as a laser traces the outline of their hand, increasing the multiplier with every pass. Players hit “stop” to cash out, locking in the multiplier when they feel the timing is right. After which, they will be shown the potential winnings if they wouldn’t have stopped. But here’s the catch: if players hesitate a second too long and the laser slips, all the winnings are lost. A live scoreboard displays the Top Win, Top Miss and Last Round, so that players can keep track of their previous rounds.
Outsourced: Slash Game is not a familiar Nolimit City slot to some players but could cause some excitement with an increasing multiplier and a maximum payout of 1,500x the base bet. Outsourced: Slash Game, unlike Nolimit City’s high-volatility slots, is rated as ‘Medium Volatility’ but don’t let that fool you as it still includes the risk of losing your hand.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Get back to work, will you? We’re bringing players back to the unrelenting factory floor of Outsourced with an all-new twist. Slash Game is a standalone take on our crash-style games, and it’s packed with plenty of heart-stopping moments (and maybe a few hand-stopping ones, too). We’re thrilled with how it turned out and we hope that our fans will be too!“
‘Outsourced: Slash Game’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 5th, 2024.

It has been quite the run for NaVi despite their loss with back to back grand finals in recent weeks but CSDB.gg’s predictive model suggests there will be no let up for the Ukrainian esports organisation.
G2 will also be looking to build more momentum in preparation for Majors season with NiKo on a quest to finally get over the line this year to win his first major title. Hopefully Rio won’t have to see a repeat of his reaction in the semifinals at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 where he punched a hole in a table after losing out to Team Vitality in a key moment.
However, the hosts of Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 may want to lockdown any nearby furniture and reinforce their desks if G2 are set for disappointment at the semifinals stage as predicted by the CSDB.gg SuperComputer.
A victory in Rio could be even more consequential for how the end of the year shapes up for the leading teams on the circuit. The Valve Global rankings have both teams close at the very top (NaVi at 1988 and G2 at 1953) meaning a win for either team could hand them a key advantage when it comes to who enters the Majors as top seed.
Back-to-back wins in T1 events for G2, should they prosper in Rio, would set the Berlin-based team on an incredible trajectory going into the winter months.
Meanwhile, Brazilian hopes for glory look slight according to the CSDB.gg SuperComputer with FURIA, the team co-owned by Neymar, having only been given a 20.9% chance of even making the playoffs.
They are the leading contenders to make an impact for the home crowd but there are other teams flying the flag for Brazil with paiN and Imperial also set to give it their best to give local fans something to cheer on.
In terms of forecasted matchups of note, G2 and FaZe Clan could offer up a fascinating encounter in the quarterfinals should both teams qualify, with each organisation rated as having a strong chance of making the semis with little to separate them should they meet.
How was the CSDB.gg CS2 Tournament SuperComputer created?
The CSDB.gg CS2 Tournament SuperComputer is a predictive model created using world ranking points, team quality ratings and performance trends. An element of randomness is also included in the model to avoid the best teams and players always winning, to reflect the fact that upsets can happen.
Every tournament is simulated 1,000 times with the results aggregated into a percentage rating of the chances teams or players have to achieve the predicted result.
