First-pass take

everplay is a disciplined indie games publisher with strong back-catalogue revenue (75% of sales) and +3.1pt margin expansion. However, zero AI exposure in strategy or revenue, heavily intangible-laden balance sheet (68% goodwill/brands), and critical platform dependency make it a poor fit for AI spending thesis.
