Seasonality

2025-09-12 10:52:29 UTC

The films are due to launch in March and the games will likely be released around the same time. Opportunity to launch the game outside of busier months so there is less pressure on resources.

Minimum fee clause

2025-09-12 10:52:46 UTC

£450k minimum fee clause may put pressure on FFL's cash balance and negative impact margin, especially if the licence is unsuccessful

FFL would rather use net revenue as a purchase price, as opposed to the gross revenue they are asking for

Injuries on set could lead to negative press which would hamper sales and make the game less attractive

FFL should question whether they would like to be associated with Ringover & their detrimental impact on local. communities

Prior Ringover approval

Loss of Flexibility and Speed to Market, Increased Transaction Costs, Potential for Delays and Disputes, Reduced Autonomy and Control and Missed Opportunities.

2025-09-12 10:55:38 UTC

Opportunity for future games and subsequent demand in the future given the movie has planned sequels, FFL can take advantage of this

Lack of Integrity

2025-09-12 10:55:59 UTC

There were issues of injuries to stunt workers in previous films, which Ringover claimed to have dealt with through increased safety procedures. However, these issues still persisted in most recent films, potentially demonstrating a lack of integrity.

Loss of control over app

Gamu will develop the app without input from FFL and Ringover. There is also the potential for Gamu to make the app paid-for. Both factors would differentiate from FFL's existing free in-house apps, presenting operational challenges to integrate with their existing portfolio and customer expectations.

High level of negative publicity for the movie which appears to be ringovers flagship product therefore the renewal of the contract could be considered undesirable

Exclusivity

2025-09-12 11:00:27 UTC

Exclusive UK rights will give FFL a unique market position to capitalise on future popularity of Ringover films. Alien Overflow franchise is on its 9th instalment with positive audience reviews, suggesting strong earnings potential for FFL.

2025-09-12 11:06:25 UTC

Significant opportunity for for FFL to secure exclusive UK rights over Ringover license for future product releases and capitalise on the popularity and success of Ringover's productions.

2025-09-12 11:07:04 UTC

Carry out research into other licences which may be available, when the licence with Ringover expires they can seek to acquire one with a better public image

Uncertain market success of the Alien Overflow franchise

2025-09-12 11:08:21 UTC

Especially with potential manipulation of the audience ratings, could be an unreasonably expensive deal to enter into without receiving much benefit in the form of licensed game sales. Further issues associated with future sales and sustainability considering injuries to workers and negative publicity this has associated
