Complexity Gaming founder and CEO Jason Lake reacquired his company through the Lake-led investment group Global Esports Properties. The deal, signed earlier this month, is expected to close shortly. GameSquare had acquired Complexity for $27 million in June 2021.
Toronto-based GameSquare announced a merger agreement last week with Engine Gaming & Media, a data-driven gaming, media, and influencer marketing platform company. The all-stock deal could give the combined company "an audience and reach as large as any gaming and esports company currently in the market," management said.
Jerry Jones and John Goff will continue to be the largest investors of the combined entity, with the Jones family and Goff Capital holding "significant" board representation.
