What is Asmodees business model and what does it have tondo with BGA?

Asmodee is hedgefund-owned French board game company. Drive by the injected money they have been 'consolidating' the board game publishing industry. For instance they bought the rights for Settler of Catan.

A lot of people fear that they will raise prices or reduce the offering to return money to the investors at some point.

Asmodee owns BGA, also owns a huge amount of game publishers. I have a decent collection and then looked at my games and noticed that Asmodee published like 70% of my games.

Just feels like we're reaching a point where if you want to get a game published at a larger scale and distributed, you'll likely really be incentivised to go through Asmodee.
