Comment: As before. No claim to notability, no independent sources. While some text has been added, there's no actual content, only a bunch of poorly written bullet points listing run-of-the-mill events, and much of it is not even sourced. bonadea contributions talk 18:05, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There is no content in this draft, just a single sentence saying they exist, and a list of subsidiaries.And there are still no independent sources – all the sources are press releases or closely based on press releases, and several of them don't even mention Amplifier Game Invest, so what is the purpose of having them there? (Case in point: reference 1.) bonadea contributions talk 11:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Fails WP:NCOMPANY, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 01:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
