Snail Games Expands Indie Portfolio with the Launch of Robots at Midnight and Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship
Robots at Midnight, developed by Toronto based studio Finish Line Games, represents Snail Games' strategic entry into a younger segment of the gaming market. Designed as an accessible, entry-level Souls-like game, it introduces the genre's core mechanics in a more user-friendly format, lowering the barrier to entry for wider appeal. The game specifically targets the younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha players who are just beginning to engage with more complex gameplay experiences. Backed in part by Canada Media Fund, the game is led by studio co-founder Daniel Posner, whose background in education and interactive media bridges entertainment and learning. To celebrate the launch of Robots at Midnight and the 2.1M+ viewer minutes watched on Twitch, the team is hosting a community event where players can win DIY robot kits encouraging real world creativity inspired by in-game exploration. For Snail Games, its investment in games like Robots at Midnight is a long-term strategy to captivate the next generation of gamers and creators. With Gen Alpha projected to become the most digitally fluent and commercially influential generation to date, early engagement aims to build brand loyalty and position the Company to meet the future demands of an evolving global market.
Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship, developed by Zing Games, comes from a seasoned studio with a track record of success; its previous titles, including the predecessor Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes, have collectively surpassed 10 million downloads. The latest installment in the Zombie Rollerz franchise blends fast-paced roguelite mechanics with tower defense survival strategy to deliver a highly replayable, content-rich experience. With a positive Steam rating at launch and a distinctive visual style that appeals to casual and core gamers alike, Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship demonstrates the strength of Zing Games' IP and Snail's ability to identify and scale high-performing indie titles.
Together, Robots at Midnight and Zombie Rollerz: The Last Ship exemplifies Snail Games' strategic focus on widening its portfolio and deepening market penetration across multiple player segments. By introducing accessible gameplay in an underserved genre to engage Gen Alpha players and scaling emerging IPs, Snail is actively expanding its presence across diverse markets. These launches reflect a deliberate approach to portfolio diversification - one that balances genre innovation, long-term revenue opportunities, and global audience growth as Snail continues to evolve and embrace the next-generation of interactive entertainment.

Meta's Momentum Hits a CapEx Hurdle
Needham has lifted Meta (NASDAQ:META) Platforms to a hold from underperform, balancing strong top-line and margin forecasts against rising costs and heavy capital spending. Analyst Laura Martin shifted Meta's rating after noting that improving labor productivity is slowingheadcount and cost per full-time employee are climbing, which dampens share gains. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with META. Still, Needham expects Meta to outpace its own targets, forecasting 14% revenue growth and 6% EPS growth in fiscal 2025. The firm stopped short of a buy call because Meta's CapEx is set to surge: Needham projects $68 billion in FY25, up 84% year-over-yearthe steepest increase among hyperscalers. Meanwhile, rivals like Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) own scalable cloud assets, giving them a structural cost edge. As Meta stock rallies about 22% year-to-datewell ahead of the S&P 500's roughly 6% gaina hold rating signals caution. Heavy spending on AI infrastructure raises questions about return on invested capital, and the company still faces heightened regulatory scrutiny over privacy, antitrust and content moderation. Needham's neutral stance underscores a trade-off: Meta's growth outlook remains solid, but swelling budgets and cost disadvantages argue for patience over buying.

Tesla Robotaxis are already speeding, swerving lanes following late June launch, videos show
Tesla launched its Robotaxi service less than two weeks ago on June 22. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is having a roller coaster of a year. The clean energy and electric vehicle company's share price plummeted by over 41% from January to April. It has since rebounded by over 42% from its yearly low of $221.86 a share to $315.65 a share as of July 2. One of the company's latest innovations is the Robotaxi, a fully autonomous Tesla electric vehicle that's able to transport passengers without any interactions or guidance from a driver. The Robotaxi is already under investigation by the United States for breaking the rules of the road, according to The Guardian. Tesla Robotaxis are already breaking rules after June launch Tesla has been able to accomplish amazing feats in terms of production, sales, and technological innovations over the years. That said, its CEO Elon Musk has developed a habit of making grandiose claims regarding the true capabilities of products and services. One example is the company's full-self driving software. The software was involved in at least one fatal crash, as reported by Bloomberg in June. Robotaxis are a much newer product than Tesla's full-self driving system. Since they operate without drivers, it's much easier to assign blame to the technology rather than the driver in instances of accidents or infractions. So far, Robotaxis have been seen violating traffic laws by crossing yellow lines and exceeding posted speed limits, according to a June 23 video description from Yahoo Finance. This is especially worrisome since the Tesla launched its Robotaxi service less than two weeks ago on June 22. How safe is a Robotaxi? It's too early to definitely answer whether or not Tesla's Robotaxi service is safe, but it's clear that riders have experienced some mishaps first-hand. These mishaps range from awkward driving style to clear infractions. So far, the Robotaxi service hasn't been involved in any serious or fatal accidents, but Americans have been compiling different incidents on Reddit. While the Robotaxi doesn't appear to be deadly (within the first few weeks of rollout) it's evident that the technology isn't infallible. Additionally, there are instances of the Robotaxi potentially damaging property including stopping so close to a parked vehicle that its tire directly contacted its body. The future of self-driving cars Companies like Tesla and Waymo (a subsidiary of Google's Alphabet Inc.) have invested big bucks into self-driving technology. Tesla was early to the semi-autonomous driving game and several automakers have since followed suit. That said, Tesla and Waymo are competing to make driverless vehicles ubiquitous, which could have serious repercussions for the jobs and safety of Americans. Self-driving taxi services pose a significant threat to traditional taxi services, according to the Brookings Institution, a research foundation in Washington D.C. Based on recent Robotaxi videos, the technology has a long way to go before becoming safe enough to deploy in more major cities.

Datadog's S&P 500 Debut Is a Big Deal
Datadog's (NASDAQ:DDOG) about to join the S&P 500 on July 9taking Juniper's spot after its HP Enterprise dealand Wedbush's Daniel Ives thinks it's a solid stamp of approval for the company's growth story. After markets wrapped on Wednesday, S&P Global surprised a few people by picking Datadog for the 500 rather than names like Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) or AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP). Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with DDOG. The reason? Datadog's observability platform, especially its new Bits AI features, is catching fire. We're talking continuous background scans that flag issues before they explode, AI-powered bug-fix suggestions with neat summaries, and super-detailed telemetry dashboards. Plus, teaming up with OpenAI only adds to the we've got the future of dev tools covered vibe. Landing in the S&P 500 isn't just bragging rightsit usually means a wave of passive-fund buying and way more eyeballs on the ticker. Since investors from big index funds have to hold S&P 500 components, Datadog should see extra demand right after July 9. And that could keep the stock cruising higher, on top of the strong enterprise momentum Ives keeps hearing about. Ives hasn't budged on his Outperform call and even bumped his price target from $140 to $170about 26% upside. So as we head into next week, watch for other analysts to follow suit (or maybe dial back), and see how those index-fund flows shake out. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
