IDG FAQs

We do, indeed, offer a wide range of research, analytics, and advisory products – from a subscription and forecast offering that provides a monthly overview of the entire games ecosystem to custom research and strategic advisory engagements tailored to clients’ very specific needs. Our analyst team takes pride in working closely with our clients to help you determine what kind of research and tool kits would most effectively address your goals.
Get in Touch

We have worked very hard to reach the point where all of our research products are equally exceptional – from our 15 subscription reports each year to tailored consulting engagements with clients who are looking for very specific data and advice from our team of veterans who are steeped in the games industry. No other competitor offers IDG’s consistently high level of quality data, insights, customer service, responsiveness, and collaborative continuity along this spectrum.

When you engage with us for Consulting and/or Custom Research, you can expect a very high-touch experience with one or more of our veteran analysts, most of whom have worked in the industry before joining us as an analyst – in fact, some of our analysts were clients before working on our team. That means they understand your specific needs, because they have been on your side of the business.

Our track record speaks for itself. IDG Intelligence is known as a “bank vault” when our clients share information or data that could harm them if it is leaked. We simply don’t share sensitive information with the outside – and our longtime clients know and trust that as an IDG brand promise.

“Milestone has been working with IDG for many years, and the level of collaboration could not be higher. The support provided by the company has played a role of great value over time: their quarterly reports are a fundamental tool to analyze trends, preferences and users’ tastes and they provide very good support for our strategic decisions. In addition to periodic analysis, Milestone also works with IDG for ad hoc evaluations, always managing to have precise, rapid and extremely useful answers for our business. IDG has even been an incredible supporter for us in looking for a partner in the US, and they followed up with us step-by-step with enthusiasm and dedication. We will be always grateful to Anton, Yoshio and the whole IDG team.”
