Verifikation

Plausibel

PLAUSIBLE. The "many lost 50-95%" is well-supported: Ubisoft -85%, Embracer -94%, Unity -80%. However, the "4-24% growth" upper bound understates some returns: EA's 5-year total return is ~38% and Nintendo ~43%, both above the 24% ceiling. Ball's overall narrative (weak sector performance with catastrophic losers) is correct, but the specific 4-24% range appears cherry-picked or may reference a narrower time window.
